detach is detected (and similarly re-open the serial port automatically, if a plug and
play MCP2221A attachment event is detected). Example code demonstrating how
this can be accomplished is included in the Microchip "USB_Serial_Terminal"
application in the MLA (http://www.microchip.com/mla).
Using the PICkit™ On Board (PKOB) Programming/Debug Tool
The PICkit On Board circuit implements a basic USB programmer/debugger
capability, but with limited target device support and "low voltage" only (VDD level on
MLCR during ICSP™ mode entry) programming/debug capability.
Upon connecting the PKOB circuit to a standard USB host computer (via micro-B
USB connector J18) running Windows/Mac/Linux operating systems, the PKOB
circuit should promptly enumerate as a generic Human Interface Device (HID) class
USB device. The circuit uses the standard HID class USB drivers provided by
modern Windows/Mac/Linux operating systems, and no custom or manual driver
installation procedures should be necessary.
After the initial enumeration process is complete, the PKOB circuit should become
visible and selectable as a programming/debug tool within the MPLAB Integrated
Development Environment (IDE). Within the MPLAB X IDE, the PKOB should appear
as a selectable "Starter Kits (PKOB)" device, in the Project properties/Hardware Tool
menu:
If the device does not appear within the Hardware Tool list, make sure that the
selected target microcontroller in the project exactly matches the part number of the
microcontroller on the PIM, and that the PKOB supports the target selected, as
indicated by a green or yellow circular icon next to the "Starter Kits (PKOB)" line in
the Hardware Tool menu.
