Curiosity Nano Quick Start

Follow these steps to explore 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 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
®
Vista , Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10. The drivers for the kit are included with MPLAB X IDE.
After 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 populate relevant information like data sheets and kit
documentation in the kit window. The SAMD21G17D device is programmed and debugged by the On-Board Nano
Debugger, hence external programmer or debugger tool is not required.
