The Microchip PIC32MZxxxxEF Embedded Connectivity Starter Kit is a development platform for the PIC32MZxxxxEF family of Microcontrollers. The board provides users the necessary hardware to test USB and Ethernet applications. This version of the board (DM320007-C) features a MCU with a Crypto Engine.

Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Touchscreen, Audio and Capacitive Touch technologies can also be explored by combining the Starter Kit with Microchip’s Multimedia Expansion Board II (DM320005-2), available separately.

The featured PIC32MZxxxxEF family are high-performance 32-bit devices based upon the powerful MIPS32® M-Class Core. These second-generation PIC32MZ devices incorporate hardware Floating-Point Unit (FPU) to add high performance and lower latency for applications requiring single or double precision maths operations. The FPU combined with an extensive set of on-board peripherals make these MCUs ideal candidates for process-intensive, high-speed applications.

The MPLAB® Harmony Integrated Software Framework is Microchip’s development platform for PIC32 MCUs. This IDE is an integrated single platform that combines different drivers and libraries together, simplifying development that allows for faster time-to-market.
