Description

This is a class on creating advanced PIC32 embedded applications using MPLAB® Harmony. Some of the slides may not be easily understood because they are intended to be presented by an instructor.

Class Abstract

MPLAB Harmony is a modular framework that provides interoperable firmware libraries for PIC32 application development. These libraries include drivers, system services, and middleware.

In this class, you will learn how to control two PIC32 peripherals (SPI) using one Harmony Driver (multi-instance driver). You will also learn how easy it is to use Harmony to add an RTOS to a bare metal (non-RTOS) application.

For exercises, you will use the Curiosity PIC32MZEF Development Board and two MikroElektronika Click boards™:

• Ferroelectric Random Access Memory (FRAM) Click board (part number MIKROE-1486)
• Humidity, Pressure, and Temperature (Weather) Click board (part number MIKROE-1978)

The three labs are have been created to be used in the same order. In Lab 1, you will read the temperature from the Weather Click board and send the value to a terminal emulator over USB. In Lab 2, you will store the temperature value in the FRAM Click board. In Lab 3, you will add an RTOS (FreeRTOS) to the project.

The lab manual provides step-by-step instructions for the following:

• Lab 1: Create an MPLAB Harmony application using an SPI Driver, USB console and Timer System Service.
• Lab 2: Control two PIC32 SPI Peripherals using one driver.
• Lab 3: Add an RTOS to the application created in Lab 2.
