Curiosity Nano Quick Start

Follow these steps to exploring the Curiosity Nano platform:
1. Download MPLAB X IDE.
2. Launch MPLAB X IDE.
3. Connect a USB cable (Standard-A to Micro-B or Micro-AB) between the PC and the debug USB port on the
kit.
When the Curiosity Nano kit is connected to the user computer for the first time, the operating system will perform a
driver software installation. The driver file supports both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Microsoft
®
Windows Vista , Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10. The drivers for the kit are included with MPLAB X IDE.
Once the Curiosity Nano board is powered, the green status LED will be lit and MPLAB X IDE will auto-detect which
Curiosity Nano board is connected. MPLAB X IDE will present relevant information, such as data sheets and kit
documentation. The SAME51J20A device is programmed and debugged by the on-board debugger, therefore no
external programmer or debugger tool is required.
