PIC32MZ Flowcode Hardware Debugging - Flowkit?

Post by ronaldlijs »

Hi guys,

I am starting to program on PIC32MZ devices and was wondering what product should I buy from you that supports debugging Flowcode programs for PIC32MZ1024EFE064 live on hardware?

Is Flowkit v2 the product I need to achieve this? And is this linked to Ghost technology and will I need an additional license for it? Also, will I need any extra pins to be exposed from the PIC32MZ for debugging?

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

I've used Flowcode for many years, but never debugged live on hardware, so eager to get this done for PIC32MZ devices if possible.

Cheers,
R

Hello,

The Flowkit 2 will give you Flowcode based ICD support and also ICT based data logging, these two together is what we have branded as Ghost technology.

ICD allows you to step through your program, pause, step, hit breakpoints, read and write variables in Flowcode. For the ICD connection you need two free pins on your microcontroller that need to be connected to the flowkit ICD pins.

ICT monitors the state of your pins in either analogue or digital and presents the signals via the data recorder window in Flowcode. For each pin you want to monitor you will need to connect that pin to the flowkit.

Thanks Ben,

Fantastic! That's very clear now and the Flowkit v2 is what I need ;-) In Circuit Debugging from Flowcode, that's amazing!!

Cheers!
