Getting
Started Application on PIC32CM JH01 Curiosity Nano+ Touch Evaluation
Kit
Description:
This application demonstrates an LED (LED0) toggle on timeout basis
and print the LED toggling rate on the serial terminal. The periodicity
of the timeout will change from 500 milliseconds to one second, two
seconds, four seconds and back to 500 milliseconds every time you press
the switch SW0 on the PIC32CM JH01 Curiosity Nano+ Touch Evaluation
Kit.
Modules/Technology Used:
- Peripheral Modules
- EIC
- RTC
- GPIO
- DMAC
- SERCOM (USART)
Hardware Used:
This project has been verified to work with
the following versions of software tools:
Refer Project
Manifest present in harmony-manifest-success.yml under the project
folder firmware/src/config/pic32cm_jh01_cnano
- Refer the Release Notes to
know the MPLAB X IDE and MCC Plugin
version. Alternatively, Click
Here. - Any Serial Terminal application like Tera Term/PuTTY
terminal application.
Because Microchip regularly update tools,
occasionally issue(s) could be discovered while using the newer versions
of the tools. If the project doesn’t seem to work and version
incompatibility is suspected, It is recommended to double-check and use
the same versions that the project was tested with. To download
original version of MPLAB Harmony v3 packages, refer to document How
to Use the MPLAB Harmony v3 Project Manifest Feature
Setup:
Programming hex file:
The pre-built hex file can be programmed by following the below
steps.
Steps to program the hex
file
- Open MPLAB X IDE
- Close all existing projects in IDE, if any project is opened.
- Go to File -> Import -> Hex/ELF File
- In the “Import Image File” window, Step 1 - Create Prebuilt Project,
Click the “Browse” button to select the prebuilt hex file.
- Select Device has “PIC32CM5164JH01048”
- Ensure the proper tool is selected under “Hardware Tool”
- Click on Next button
- In the “Import Image File” window, Step 2 - Select Project Name and
Folder, select appropriate project name and folder
- Click on Finish button
- In MPLAB X IDE, click on “Make and Program Device” Button. The
device gets programmed in sometime
- Follow the steps in “Running the Demo” section below
Programming/Debugging
Application Project:
- Open the project (pic32cm_jh01_cnano_getting_started_jh01_cnano.X)
in MPLAB X IDE
- Ensure “PIC32CM JH01 Curiosity Nano” is selected as hardware tool to
program/debug the application
- Build the code and program the device by clicking on the “make and
program” button in MPLAB X IDE tool bar
- Follow the steps in “Running the Demo” section below
Running the Demo:
- Open the Tera Term/PuTTY terminal application on your PC (from the
Windows® Start menu by pressing the Start button)
- Set the baud rate to 115200
- An LED (LED0) on the PIC32CM JH01 Curiosity Nano+ Touch Evaluation
Kit toggles on every timeout basis and the default periodicity of the
timeout is 500 milliseconds
- And also, the LED toggling rate is displayed on the serial
terminal
- Press the switch SW0 on the PIC32CM JH01 Curiosity Nano+ Touch
Evaluation Kit to change the default periodicity of the timeout to one
second
- Every subsequent pressing of the switch SW0 on the PIC32CM JH01
Curiosity Nano+ Touch Evaluation Kit changes the periodicity of the
timeout to 2 seconds, 4 seconds, 500 milliseconds, and back to 1 second
in cyclic order

Started with Harmony v3 Peripheral Libraries on SAMC2x MCUs
- This application demo builds and works out of box by following the
instructions above in “Running the Demo” section. If you need to
enhance/customize this application demo, you need to use the MPLAB
Harmony v3 Software framework. Refer links below to setup and build your
applications using MPLAB Harmony.
