Microchip Multimedia Expansion Board II (manual and schematics) is a flexible development platform, which works with PIC32MZ EC Starter Kit (manual and schematics).

Features of MZ Starter Kit:

  • PIC32MZ microcontroller 200 MHz (MIPS architecture, DSP, 2Mb Flash and 512Kb RAM)
  • HI-speed USB 2.0 port with host/device/dual OTG role
  • USB 2.0 OTG controller with USB and micro-USB connectors
  • Ethernet port 10/100Base-T
  • SMSC LAN8740A PHY daughter board (Alternatives: LAN8720, IP101G, LAN9303)
  • On-board oscillator 24 MHz
  • Three user LEDs
  • Three user buttons
  • Integrated debugger/programmer with mini-USB connector
  • ICSP port
  • 3.3V operating voltage
  • USB powered

Features of MEB-II:

  • Microchip MRF24WG0MA WiFi module
  • Bluetooth transceiver
  • 4.3” touch display
  • 24-bit stereo audio codec
  • mTouch sensing buttons
  • Analog temperature sensor
  • Analog accelerometer
  • VGA camera
  • Micro SD card connector
  • PICtail connector

Memory:

  • 2 Mbytes of program Flash memory
  • 512 kbytes of RAM
  • 160 kbytes of boot Flash memory
  • 4 Mbytes of external SQI Flash on Starter Kit board
  • 2 Mbytes of external EBI SRAM on MEB-II board

A rich set of peripheral functions is available: UART, SPI, I2C, I2S, ADC, timers. Two internal oscillators available: 8 MHz and 32 kHz.

Serial port

For LiteBSD console, I use an external TTL-to-USB adapter wired to three pins of PICtail connector:

USB-to-Serial

4 RA14 U1RX TX
6 RA15 U1TX RX
28 --- GND GND

In case these pins don't work for you for some reason, you can find alternatives on page: PIC32MZ UART pins.
