Development Tools Installation for the Microchip WFI32E01 Certified Module

Install Software Required for the Host Computer

Microchip MPLAB X tool chain for embedded code development on 32-bit architecture MCU/MPU platforms (made up of 3 major components)
- MPLAB X IDE (when prompted, enable the installation of the MPLAB IPE too)
  
  NOTE: This demonstration project was last tested successfully with MPLAB X v6.05. If a previous version of the IDE is needed, download it from the MPLAB Development Ecosystem Downloads Archive (to fall back to the version Microchip successfully tested prior to release).
- MPLAB XC32 Compiler
  
  NOTE: This demonstration project was tested successfully with XC32 v4.10, and in general should work with later versions of the compiler as they become available. If you encounter issues building the project with a newer version of the compiler, it is recommended to download the compiler version that was last tested successfully from the MPLAB Development Ecosystem Downloads Archive (to fall back to the version Microchip successfully tested prior to release).
- MPLAB Harmony Software Framework
Git (a free and open source distributed version control system)

Download/install the latest version of Git for Windows, macOS, or Linux
Verify working operation of the Git Bash prompt (e.g. for Windows: click Start > type Git Bash)

Any Terminal Emulator program of your choice

Additional Hardware Requirements for the PIC32 WFI32E Curiosity Board

If using the PIC32 WFI32E Curiosity board, a USB-to-UART converter needs to be connected to the U1RX & U1TX pins of the GPIO Header (J207)

NOTE: In order to enable the on-board analog temperature sensor, the jumper J209 (TEMP SENSE) must be shorted
