PIC32MZ Embedded Connectivity with FPU Starter Kit
PIC32MZ-EF.png

The | PIC32MZ Embedded Connectivity with Floating Point Unit (EF) Family Starter Kit provides a low-cost method for the development and testing of USB and Ethernet-based applications with PIC32MZ EF 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. 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 Connectivity with FPU (EF) Starter Kit uses PIC32MZ2048EFH144.
  • The PIC32MZ Embedded Connectivity with FPU (EF) Starter Kit with Crypto Engine uses PIC32MZ2048EFM144
​

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.
