The Microchip PIC32 processor is a 32-bit embedded-system controller chip based on the MIPS processor, the RISC architecture treated by many textbooks on computer architecture. The easiest way to experiment with this device is to obtain a PIC32 Starter Kit.
Check our list of projects that explore the use of the PIC32 processor in a university environment.
PIC32 Starter KitInside the kit is
The CD includes the MPLAB IDE (integrated develoment environment) and MPLAB C32 C Compiler. |
Development BoardOn the board is:
|
The mechanics of using the MPLAB IDE are described in a tutorial.
