Chapter 1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Microchip Technology PIC32MZ EF Curiosity Development
Board.
The PIC32MZ EF Curiosity Development Board includes an integrated
programmer/debugger and requires no additional hardware to get started. Users
can expand functionality through MikroElectronika mikroBUS™ Click™ adapter
boards, add Ethernet connectivity with the Microchip LAN8720A PHY Daughter
Board, add Wi-Fi™ connectivity using the Microchip MRF24WN0MA on-board Wi-Fi
module, and add audio input/output capability with Microchip audio daughter
boards.
With or without expansion boards, the PIC32MZ EF Curiosity Development Board
provides the freedom to develop for a variety of applications, including Internet of
Things (IoT), robotics development, and proof-of-concept designs.
