Building a Serial Communications Link 6.1 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this chapter is to demonstrate how to build the serial communications link that has been used throughout this document between an MPLAB Xpress Evaluation Board and a host computer. This communication is enabled by a second MCU with USB capabilities that populates the board along with the target MCU. This second MCU with USB performs the following USB tasks: • USB Mass Storage Device (MSD) Class: Receives .hex files from the host PC and then programs the target device using Microchip's In-Circuit Serial Programming™ (ICSP™) technology. Note: Hardware debugging is not available. • USB Communications Device Class (USB CDC): Translates EUSART data transmissions from the target MCU and transmits over the USB connection to the host PC Using the latter CDC configuration enables the target MCU to send and receive information through the second MCU with USB capabilities to an available USB port on a host computer. Terminal emulation software (see links in Chapter 2. “Equipment Used”) running on the host computer connected to the associated COM Port can then be used to display information from the target MCU or allow the user to send commands back to the microcontroller. 2018 Microchip Technology Inc.

Open a terminal emulator program (see Section 2.3 “Software”) on the host computer and select the COM port associated with the MPLAB Xpress board. 2. Open the Connection>Options dialog and configure the serial port at the 9600 baud rate that was configured earlier in the project when configuring the EUSART in MCC. 3. Inside the terminal window, click on the button to establish connection with the Xpress board. Once communication is established, the terminal window should display the character added to the EUSART_Write() earlier in the project. 2018 Microchip Technology Inc.

MPLAB® Xpress Evaluation Boards A.1 INTRODUCTION MPLAB Xpress Evaluation Boards have been designed to work in conjunction with the cloud-based MPLAB Xpress Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The combination of the IDE and the MPLAB Xpress Evaluation Board provide a platform for rapid development of applications without having to download or update the IDE or compilers. All MPLAB Xpress boards contain two sections: 1. The programmer section, which contains the circuitry necessary to serve as a dedicated drag-and-drop programmer for the target device using Microchip Technology's proprietary In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP) protocol. In this way, no additional hardware is needed to program the target device other than a simple USB connection to a host computer. 2. The application section, which contains the circuitry that is used by the microcontroller application. Additionally, MPLAB Xpress Evaluation Boards feature a Communications Device Class (CDC) interface to facilitate serial communication between the target device and a host computer. There are three variants of MPLAB Xpress Evaluation Boards: 1. General Purpose MPLAB Xpress Evaluation Board 2. Device Specific MPLAB Xpress Evaluation Board (20-pin variant) 3. Device Specific MPLAB Xpress Evaluation Board (40-pin variant) A.2 POWERING THE BOARDS The MPLAB Xpress Evaluation Boards can be powered in one of two ways, depending on its usage. It should be noted that only one power source should be connected at a time. A.2.1 USB Connector The USB connector will power the entire MPLAB Xpress Evaluation Board. With USB power connected, the power LED will always be on (green) to indicate that +3.3V is available on the board. A.2.2 2.7V-16V External Power Supply (General Purpose MPLAB Xpress Board Only) The external power supply option is available on the General Purpose MPLAB Xpress Board only. It will also power the entire MPLAB Xpress Evaluation Board. The external power supply is connected to a Low Dropout (LDO) voltage regulator, configured to deliver 3.3V to the board. The external power supply range is from 2.7V to 16V, allowing use with two to six primary cells, 9V alkaline batteries, or one or two-cell Li-Ion batteries. LED D1 will illuminate green when the external power supply is active and supplying sufficient voltage. 2018 Microchip Technology Inc. DS50002710A-page 43 Using 8-bit MCUs with MPLAB® Xpress A.3 GENERAL PURPOSE EVALUATION BOARD The MPLAB Xpress General Purpose Evaluation Board features an 8-bit PIC16F18855 microcontroller. This board differs from other variants in that it also features basic interface components to the target device such as LEDs, potentiometer, switch and more. 1. PIC16F18855 target microcontroller 2. Connection header corresponding to target microcontroller pins 3. mikroBUS™ socket to accommodate a variety of plug-in MikroElektronika Click Boards that can be used in application development 4. Four user LEDs 5. Potentiometer 6. EMC1001 temperature sensor 7. Push button switch 8. Master RESET switch 9. Power LED: a) Green: power to target b) Flashing Red: target being programmed 10. 2.7V-16V Battery/External power connection DS50002710A-page 44 2018 Microchip Technology Inc. MPLAB® Xpress Evaluation Boards A.4 DEVICE-SPECIFIC EVALUATION BOARDS The MPLAB Xpress Device Specific Evaluation Boards contain a specific PIC16 or PIC18 device the board is targeted towards in addition to the built-in programmer. They are available in 20-pin and 40-pin variants based on the device. 1. 2. 3. 4. Target microcontroller Connection header corresponding to target microcontroller pins Master RESET switch Power LED: a) Green: power to target b) Flashing Red: target being programmed 5.
