PIC32CM JH01 Curiosity Nano+ Touch Evaluation Kit

Overview

The PIC32CM JH01 Curiosity Nano+ Touch Evaluation Kit (EV29G58A) is a hardware platform that contains a PIC32CM5164JH01048 microcontroller (MCU). The Curiosity Nano+ Touch Evaluation Kit provides easy access to the MCU features and can develop custom applications.

Hardware

  • PIC32CM5164JH01048 MCU

  • Arm® Cortex®-M0+ based MCU

  • One yellow user LED

  • One mechanical user switch

  • One user touch button

  • CAN interface

  • LIN interface

  • USB for debugger

    • Can be used for powering the board

    • Must be used to program, or debug, the board

  • On-board nano debugger (nEDBG)

    • One green power/status LED

    • Programming and debugging

    • Communications Device Class (CDC) virtual COM port

    • One logic analyzer DGI GPIO

    • The target device is programmed and debugged by the on-board Nano debugger; no external programmer, or debugging tool, is required

  • Adjustable target voltage

    • MIC5353 LDO regulator controlled by the on-board debugger

    • 1.7V to 3.6V output voltage

    • 500-mA maximum output current (limited by ambient temperature and output voltage)

Programming & Debugging

The pic32cm_jh01_cnano board supports the runners and associated west commands listed below.

flash debug rtt debugserver attach
pyocd ✅ (default) ✅ (default) ✅ ✅ ✅

Setting Up the Debug Interface

PyOCD Setup

  1. Install Device Pack

    • Add support for the PIC32CM family devices using the following command:

      pyocd pack install pic32cm

  2. Verify Device Support

    • Confirm that the target is recognized:

      pyocd list --targets

    • You should see an entry similar to:

      pic32cm5164jh01048        Microchip                PIC32CM5164JH01048           PIC32CM-JH   pack

  3. Connect the Board

    • Connect the DEBUG USB(J18) port on the board to your host machine.

    • This connection power up the board and provides access to the on-board Embedded Debugger (EDBG), which enables programming and debugging of the target microcontroller through PyOCD.

Building and Flashing the Application

  1. Build the Application

    You can build a sample Zephyr application, such as Blinky, using the west tool. Run the following commands from your Zephyr workspace:

    west build -b pic32cm_jh01_cnano -p -s samples/basic/blinky

    This will build the Blinky application for the pic32cm_jh01_cnano board.

  2. Flash the Device

    Once the build completes, flash the firmware using:

    west flash

  3. Observe the Result

    After flashing, LED1 on the board should start blinking, indicating that the application is running successfully.
