Getting Started

Developers can begin by using the MPLAB Harmony integrated software framework and the MPLAB X IDE. For hardware prototyping, the PIC32MX470 Curiosity Development Board or the PIC32 USB Starter Kit II provide a rapid path to evaluating USB and peripheral performance. A standard ICSP header allows for programming via Microchip's PICkit 4 or ICD 4 debuggers.
