NU32: Quickstart

This is a quick-start guide to programming the NU32, using the bootloader and the PICkit3.

Before you start

You should complete the instructions in NU32: Software to Install if you have not already. Specifically, you need to

• download and install the MPLAB X IDE and the MPLAB XC32 Compiler
• download the NU32 Utility computer application
• install drivers for the FTDI USB-to-Serial chip

Test the bootloader

Use the NU32 Utility to load NU32_HelloWorld.hex to test your NU32 and the Utility.

Test MPLAB X

Use the NU32_HelloWorld_files.zip to create a project for the NU32 and compile in MPLAB X with XC32.

Test the PICkit3

If you don't want to use the bootloader and the Utility, and have a PICkit3 programmer, you can program the NU32 from MPLAB X. Build a project with NU32_HelloWorld_standalone_files.zip.

Projects with the standard NU32 functions

Use NU32_BasicTemplate.zip to start all of your projects.
