 MPLAB® XPRESS EVALUATION
BOARD USER’S GUIDE
Chapter 1. Introduction to the MPLAB® Xpress Evaluation Board

The MPLAB® Xpress Evaluation Board is a development tool designed to work in

conjunction with the cloud-based MPLAB® Xpress Integrated Development
Environment (IDE). The combination of the IDE and the Xpress Evaluation Board
allows for quick experimentation and code development without having to download
the IDE or compilers. There are three variants of Xpress Evaluation Boards:
1. General Purpose MPLAB Xpress Evaluation Board
2. Device Specific MPLAB Xpress Evaluation Board (20-pin variant)
3. Device Specific MPLAB Xpress Evaluation Board (40-pin variant)
The General Purpose Xpress board contains a built-in programmer and includes an
8-bit PIC16F18855 microcontroller, allowing for easy programming without additional
programming tools. It also contains a set of four indication LEDs, a potentiometer, a
push button switch and a mikroBUS™ socket to accommodate a variety of plug-in
MikroElektronika click boards that can be used in application development.
The Device Specific Xpress boards contain a specific PIC16 or PIC18 device the board
is targeted towards in addition to the built-in programmer. They are available in 20-pin
and 40-pin variants based on the device.
All the Xpress boards contain two sections: the programmer section and the application
section. The programmer section contains the circuitry necessary for programming,
while the application section contains the circuitry that is used by the microcontroller
application.

1.3 POWER SOURCES

The MPLAB Xpress Evaluation Boards can be powered in one of two ways, depending
on its usage. It should be noted that only one power source should be connected at a
time.

1.3.1 USB Connector

The USB connector will power the entire Xpress Evaluation Board. With USB power
connected to J2, Status LED will always be green to indicate that +3.3V is available on
the board.

1.3.2 2.7V-16V External Power Supply (General Purpose Xpress

Board Only)
The external power supply (Figure 1-2) option is available on the General Purpose
Xpress Board only. It will also power the entire Xpress Evaluation Board. The external
power supply is connected to a Low Dropout (LDO) voltage regulator, configured to
deliver 3.3V to the Xpress board. The external power supply range is from 2.7V to 16V,
allowing use with two to six primary cells, 9V alkaline batteries, or one or two-cell Li-Ion
batteries. LED D1 will illuminate green when the external power supply is active and
supplying sufficient voltage.

BOARD USER’S GUIDE

Chapter 2. Getting Started

The Xpress Evaluation Boards are designed to work with the MPLAB® Xpress IDE, but
can also be used with MPLAB® X IDE. MPLAB Xpress IDE does not require any
downloads and can be accessed by visiting mplabxpress.microchip.com.
The Xpress Evaluation Boards allow for rapid development of custom applications
without the need to download the IDE or compilers to a computer and allows the
storage of a project in the cloud. This allows a user the ability to access their project
from virtually anywhere (requires Internet connection) and from any computer.
Microchip also provides code examples to help get you started.

2.1 PROGRAMMING THE MPLAB Xpress EVALUATION BOARD

Programming the Xpress board is accomplished by connecting a micro USB cable to
the on-board USB connector, creating the .hex file, and dragging and dropping the
.hex file into the Xpress board.
To begin, connect a micro USB cable to the on-board USB connector. Next, open the
MPLAB Xpress IDE.
The procedure to create a new project or open an existing MPLAB Xpress project is the
same as within MPLAB X IDE. Navigate to the File tab, select Project Properties > Con-
figuration > Hardware Tool > Hardware Tools and select ‘Simulator/Xpress Board’ (see
Figure 2-1). This ensures that the Xpress board is chosen as the development tool.
Once selected, the ‘Simulator/Xpress Board’ selection will appear under the ‘Debug
Tool’ section in the Dashboard window (see Figure 2-2). Once the project is open and
ready to program into the target device, simply click on the Make and Program Device
button (see Figure 2-3). MPLAB Xpress will build and compile the project, and once
completed, will open or save the .hex file that was created. Under the Save button,
you can either hit Save and the .hex file will be stored in your downloads folder, or you
can hit Save as and choose the location for the .hex file. It is important to remember
where the file is stored since the .hex file is what will be programmed into the target
PIC® device.

 Getting Started
The Xpress Evaluation Board will show as a mass storage device on the computer (see
Figure 2-4). To program the device, simply drag and drop the .hex file image into the
Xpress drive. The process is the same for Windows, Linux or OS X.

FIGURE 2-4: MPLAB® Xpress BOARD AS MASS STORAGE

2.2 PROGRAMMING XPRESS BOARD USING MPLAB® X

Xpress Boards can be programmed using MPLAB X by following the same steps as
described in Section 2.1 “Programming the MPLAB Xpress Evaluation Board” for
MPLAB Xpress. In addition to drag-and-drop, MPLAB X can run a post-build script to
perform this action automatically. To set this up, right click on Project Name > Proper-
ties > Building and check the Execute this line after build. In the text box below it,
type:
cp ${ImagePath} <Path to XPRESS>

Replace <Path to XPRESS> with the actual location where XPRESS board is mounted.
For example, on Windows, if the XPRESS board is mounted at D:\, the script would
look like:
cp ${ImagePath} D:\

For Mac OS X, if the XPRESS board is mounted at /Volumes/XPRESS, the script would
look like:
cp ${ImagePath} /Volumes/XPRESS

 2016-2017 Microchip Technology Inc. DS50002479B-page 21

MPLAB® Xpress Evaluation Board User’s Guide
For Linux, if the XPRESS board is mounted at /media/XPRESS, the script would look
like:
cp ${ImagePath} /media/XPRESS

FIGURE 2-5: PROGRAMMING SETTINGS ON MPLAB® X

Click on Apply and OK. Next time when the Make and Program Device button is
clicked, the .hex file will be copied over to the Xpress board automatically.

2.3 NAVIGATING XPRESS EXAMPLES

MPLAB Xpress comes with many examples that demonstrate how to use different
peripherals for different devices. In order to navigate to the examples, on the top menu
bar, click on the "Examples" link.
