Functional Description

The chipKIT Pro MX7 is designed for embedded control and network communications applications as well as
general microprocessor experimentation. Firmware suitable for many applications can be downloaded to the
chipKIT Pro MX7's programmable PIC32 microcontroller.
The chipKIT Pro MX7 has a number of input/output connection options, and is designed to work with the Digilent
line of Pmods that provide various input and output functions. For more information, visit www.digilentinc.com. In
addition to the Pmod ports, the board provides three push buttons and four LEDs for user I/O, as well as providing
2
connections for two I C busses. A serial EEPROM is provided on one of the I
The chipKIT Pro MX7 features a flexible power supply system with a number of options for powering the board as
well as powering peripheral devices connected to the board. It can be USB powered via the debug USB port, the
USB UART serial port, or the USB device port. It can also be powered from an external 5V power supply.

Programming Tools

The chipKIT Pro MX7 can be used with either the Microchip MPLAB development environment or the chipKIT
MPIDE development environment. When used with the MPLAB
firmware running on the PIC32MX795 microcontroller is supported using an on-board programming/debugging
circuit licensed from Microchip.
The chipKIT Pro MX7 is immediately useable with either the MPLAB IDE or the MPIDE. No additional hardware is
required to use the board with the Microchip MPLAB tools.
