Chapter 1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a Microchip Technology PIC32MZ Embedded Connectivity

with Floating Point Unit (EF) Family Starter Kit. This starter kit provides a low-cost,

modular development system for Microchip’s line of 32-bit microcontrollers.

There are two versions of the starter kit available:

• PIC32MZ EF Starter Kit (P/N: DM320007)

• PIC32MZ EF Starter Kit w/Crypto Engine (P/N: DM320007-C)

Both versions of the starter kit come preloaded with demonstration software that can

be used to explore the new features of the PIC32MZ EF family of devices. It is also

expandable through a modular expansion interface, which allows the user to extend its

functionality. The starter kit also supplies on-board circuitry for full debug and

programming capabilities.

This chapter covers the following topics:

• Kit Contents

• Starter Kit Functionality and Features

The preprogrammed example code on the PIC32MZ EF family MCU is available for

have been included so that the code may be used directly to restore the PIC32MZ EF

family MCU on the starter kit to its original state (i.e., if the sample device has been

reprogrammed with another program) or so you can use the tutorial code as a platform

for further experimentation.

KIT CONTENTS

The PIC32MZ EF Family Starter Kit contains the following items:

• One development board

• One LAN8740A Ethernet PHY Daughter Board

• Two USB mini-B to full-sized A cables (one cable for debug purposes and to power

the development board and one cable for USB-to-UART communication)

• One USB micro-B to full-sized A cable (to communicate with the PIC32 USB port)

• One RJ-45 CAT5 Ethernet cable (to communicate with the PIC32 Ethernet port)
