The Microchip PIC24FJxxxGA610/GB610 family of Microcontrollers are peripheral rich 16-bit devices that lend themselves to applications that require a large amount of memory.

Of particular note is the Dual Partition Flash with Live Update Capability that allows the MCU to hold two independent software applications (including boot loader). Furthermore this functionality allows the simultaneous programming of one partition while executing application code from the other.
