The PIC32MZ Embedded Graphics with Stacked DRAM (DA) Starter Kit provides a low-cost method for the development and testing of graphics applications with PIC32MZ DA family devices. It can be used as a stand-alone board or mounted onto the Multimedia Expansion Board II or PIC32 I/O Expansion Board. It can also be mounted on a Raspberry Pi using the 2x20 header on the edge of the board. Demonstration projects for this board are included in the MPLAB® Harmony Integrated Software Framework.
There are two versions of this board. They are identical with one exception:
- The PIC32MZ Embedded Graphics with Stacked DRAM (DA) Starter Kit uses PIC32MZ2064DAA169.
- The PIC32MZ Embedded Graphics with Stacked DRAM (DA) Starter Kit (Crypto) uses PIC32MZ2064DAB169.
The Crypto version requires extra buyer ID verification steps and may not be available in every country.
This board has an on-board programmer/debugger. No external programmer/debugger (e.g., ICD4) is required.

Optional Adaptor
The RJ-11 to ICSP Adapter 2 Board has a 0.050" (50 mil) pitch header. This can be used to connect a faster programmer/debugger (e.g., MPLAB® ICD4 or MPLAB Real ICE) to this starter kit.
