Overview
The chipKIT PGM is a simple, low cost, module that supports in-system programming and debugging of
applications written for Microchip PIC based microcontroller boards such as the chipKIT™ and Cerebot boards.
The chipKIT PGM is designed to work with the MPLAB
®
and MPLAB
®
X development environments available from
Microchip. This allows the chipKIT boards, for example, to be used as a more traditional microcontroller
development platform using the professional tools available from Microchip.
The chipKIT PGM can also be used from within the MPLAB or MPLAB-X development environments to enable in-
system debugging of sketches developed using the Arduino™ compatible MPIDE development environment.
