  • 3. Curiosity NanoCuriosity Nano is an evaluation platform of small boards with access to most of the microcontrollers I/Os. Theplatform consists of a series of low pin count microcontroller (MCU) boards with on-board debuggers, which areintegrated with Microchip MPLAB® X IDE. Each board is identified in the IDE, and relevant user guides, applicationnotes, data sheets, and example code are easy to find. The on-board debugger features a Virtual COM port (CDC)for serial communication to a host PC, and a Data Gateway Interface (DGI) GPIO logic analyzer pin.

    3.1 On-board DebuggerThe PIC18F47K42 Curiosity Nano contains an on-board debugger for programming and debugging. The on-boarddebugger is a composite USB device of several interfaces: A debugger, a mass storage device, a data gateway, anda Virtual COM port (CDC).

    Together with Microchip MPLAB® X IDE, the on-board debugger can program and debug the PIC18F47K42.

    A Data Gateway Interface (DGI) is available for use with the logic analyzer channels for code instrumentation tovisualize the program flow. DGI GPIOs can be graphed using the Data Visualizer.

    The Virtual COM port (CDC) is connected to a Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) on thePIC18F47K42 and provides an easy way to communicate with the target application through terminal software.

    The on-board debugger controls a Power and Status LED (marked PS) on the PIC18F47K42 Curiosity Nano. Thetable below shows how the LED is controlled in different operation modes.

    Table 3-1. On-Board Debugger LED Control

    Operation Mode Status LED

    Boot Loader mode LED blink at 1 Hz during power-up.

    Power-up LED is ON.

    Normal operation LED is ON.

    Programming Activity indicator: The LED flashes slowly during programming/debugging.

    Fault The LED flashes fast if a power fault is detected.

    Sleep/Off LED is OFF. The on-board debugger is either in Sleep mode or powered down. Thiscan occur if the kit is externally powered.

    3.1.1 Virtual COM Port (CDC)The Virtual COM port (CDC) is a general purpose serial bridge between a host PC and a target device.

    3.1.1.1 OverviewThe on-board debugger implements a composite USB device that includes a standard Communications Device Class(CDC) interface, which appears on the host as a Virtual COM port. The CDC can be used to stream arbitrary data inboth directions between the host and the target: All characters sent from the host will be sent through a UART on theCDC TX pin, and UART characters sent into the CDC RX pin will be sent back to the host through the Virtual COMport.

    On Windows machines, the CDC will enumerate as Curiosity Virtual COM Port and appear in the Ports section of theWindows Device Manager. The COM port number can also be found there.

    On Linux machines, the CDC will enumerate and appear as /dev/ttyACM#.On MAC machines, the CDC will enumerate and appear as /dev/tty.usbmodem#. Depending on which terminalprogram is used, it will appear in the available list of modems as usbmodem#.

    https://www.microchip.com/mplab/avr-support/data-visualizer

  • Info:  On older Windows systems, a USB driver is required for CDC. This driver is included in MPLAB XIDE and Atmel Studio installations.

    3.1.1.2 LimitationsNot all UART features are implemented in the on-board debugger CDC. The constraints are outlined here:

    • Baud rate: Must be in the range 1200 bps to 500 kbps. Any baud rate outside this range will be set to theclosest limit, without warning. Baud rate can be changed on-the-fly.

    • Character format: Only 8-bit characters are supported.• Parity: Can be odd, even, or none.• Hardware flow control: Not supported.• Stop bits: One or two bits are supported.

    3.1.1.3 SignalingDuring USB enumeration, the host OS will start both communication and data pipes of the CDC interface. At thispoint, it is possible to set and read back the baud rate and other UART parameters of the CDC, but data sending andreceiving will not be enabled.

    When a terminal connects on the host, it must assert the DTR signal. This is a virtual control signal implemented onthe USB interface, but not in hardware in the on-board debugger. Asserting DTR from the host will indicate to the on-board debugger that a CDC session is active, will enable its level shifters (if available) and start the CDC data sendand receive mechanisms.

    Deasserting the DTR signal will not disable the level shifters but disable the receiver so no further data will bestreamed to the host. Data packets that are already queued up for sending to the target will continue to be sent out,but no further data will be accepted.

    Remember:  Enable to set up your terminal emulator to assert the DTR signal. Without it, the on-boarddebugger will not send or receive any data through its UART.

    3.1.1.4 Advanced Use

    CDC Override ModeIn normal operation, the on-board debugger is a true UART bridge between the host and the device. However, undercertain use cases, the on-board debugger can override the basic operating mode and use the CDC pins for otherpurposes.

    Dropping a text file (with extension .txt) into the on-board debugger’s mass storage drive can be used to sendcharacters out of the CDC TX pin. The text file must start with the characters:CMD:SEND_UART=

    The maximum message length is 50 characters - all remaining data in the frame are ignored.

    The default baud rate used in this mode is 9600 bps, but if the CDC is already active or has been configured, thebaud rate last used still applies.

    USB-Level Framing ConsiderationsSending data from the host to the CDC can be done byte-wise or in blocks, which will be chunked into 64-byte USBframes. Each such frame will be queued up for sending to the CDC TX pin. Transferring a small amount of data perframe can be inefficient, particularly at low baud rates, since the on-board debugger buffers frames and not bytes. Amaximum of 4 x 64-byte frames can be active at any time. The on-board debugger will throttle the incoming framesaccordingly. Sending full 64-byte frames containing data is the most efficient.

    PIC18F47K42 Curiosity NanoCuriosity Nano

    © 2019 Microchip Technology Inc. User Guide DS50002899B-page 7

  • When receiving data from the target, the on-board debugger will queue up the incoming bytes into 64-byte frames,which are sent to the USB queue for transmission to the host when they are full. Incomplete frames are also pushedto the USB queue at approximately 100 ms intervals, triggered by USB start-of-frame tokens. Up to 8 x 64-byteframes can be active at any time.

    If the host, or the software running on it, fails to receive data fast enough, an overrun will occur. When this happens,the last-filled buffer frame will be recycled instead of being sent to the USB queue, and a full frame of data will belost. To prevent this occurrence, the user must ensure that the CDC data pipe is being read continuously, or theincoming data rate must be reduced.

    3.1.2 Mass Storage DiskA simple way to program the target device is through drag and drop with .hex files.

    3.1.2.1 Mass Storage DeviceThe on-board debugger implements a highly optimized variant of the FAT12 file system that has a number oflimitations, partly due to the nature of FAT12 itself and optimizations made to fulfill its purpose for its embeddedapplication.

    The CURIOSITY drive is USB Chapter 9-compliant as a mass storage device but does not, in any way, fulfill theexpectations of a general purpose mass storage device. This behavior is intentional.

    The on-board debugger enumerates as a Curiosity Nano USB device that can be found in the disk drives section ofthe Windows device manager. The CURIOSITY drive appears in the file manager and claims the next available driveletter in the system.

    The CURIOSITY drive contains approximately one MB of free space. This does not reflect the size of the targetdevice’s Flash in any way. When programming a .hex file, the binary data are encoded in ASCII with metadataproviding a large overhead, so one MB is a trivially chosen value for disk size.

    It is not possible to format the CURIOSITY drive. When programming a file to the target, the filename may appear inthe disk directory listing. This is merely the operating system’s view of the directory, which in reality has not beenupdated. It is not possible to read out the file contents. Removing and replugging the kit will return the file system toits original state, but the target will still contain the application that has been previously programmed.

    To erase the target device, copy a text file starting with “CMD:ERASE” onto the disk.By default, the CURIOSITY drive contains several read-only files for generating icons as well as reporting status andlinking to further information:

    • AUTORUN.ICO - icon file for the Microchip logo• AUTORUN.INF - system file required for Windows Explorer to show the icon file• KIT-INFO.HTM - redirect to the development board website• KIT-INFO.TXT - a text file containing details about the kit firmware, name, serial number, and device• STATUS.TXT - a text file containing the programming status of the board

    Info:  STATUS.TXT is dynamically updated by the on-board debugger, the contents may be cached by theOS and therefore not reflect the correct status.

    3.1.2.2 Configuration Words

    Configuration Words (PIC® MCU Targets)Configuration Word settings included in the project being programmed after program Flash is programmed. Thedebugger will not mask out any bits in the Configuration Words when writing them, but since it uses Low-VoltageProgramming mode, it is unable to clear the LVP Configuration bit. If the incorrect clock source is selected, forexample, and the board does not boot, it is always possible to perform a bulk erase (always done beforeprogramming) and restore the device to its default settings.

    3.3.1 Target RegulatorThe target voltage regulator is a MIC5353 variable output LDO. The on-board debugger can adjust the voltage outputsupplied to the kit target section by manipulating the MIC5353’s feedback voltage. The hardware implementation islimited to an approximate voltage range from 1.7V to 5.1V. Additional output voltage limits are configured in thedebugger firmware to ensure that the output voltage never exceeds the hardware limits of the PIC18F47K42microcontroller. The voltage limits configured in the on-board debugger on PIC18F47K42 Curiosity Nano are2.3-5.1V.

    Info:  The target voltage is set to 3.3V in production. It can be changed through MPLAB X IDE projectproperties. Any change to the target voltage is persistent, even through a power toggle.

    The MIC5353 supports a maximum current load of 500 mA. It is an LDO regulator in a small package, placed on asmall printed circuit board (PCB), and the thermal shutdown condition can be reached at lower loads than 500 mA.The maximum current load depends on the input voltage, the selected output voltage, and the ambient temperature.The figure below shows the safe operating area for the regulator, with an input voltage of 5.1V and an ambienttemperature of 23°C.

  • Figure 3-3. Target Regulator Safe Operation Area

    3.3.2 External SupplyPIC18F47K42 Curiosity Nano can be powered by an external voltage instead of the on-board target regulator. Whenthe Voltage Off (VOFF) pin is shorted to ground (GND) the on-board debugger firmware disables the target regulator,and it is safe to apply an external voltage to the VTG pin.

    WARNINGApplying an external voltage to the VTG pin without shorting VOFF to GND may cause permanent damageto the kit.

    WARNINGAbsolute maximum external voltage is 5.5V for the on-board level shifters, and the standard operatingcondition of the PIC18F47K42 is 2.3-5.5V. Applying a higher voltage may cause permanent damage to thekit.

    Programming, debugging, and data streaming are still possible with an external power supply: The debugger andsignal level shifters will be powered from the USB cable. Both regulators, the debugger, and the level shifters arepowered down when the USB cable is removed.

    3.3.3 VBUS Output PinPIC18F47K42 Curiosity Nano has a VBUS output pin which can be used to power external components that need a5V supply. The VBUS output pin has a PTC fuse to protect the USB against short circuits. A side effect of the PTCfuse is a voltage drop on the VBUS output with higher current loads. The chart below shows the voltage versus thecurrent load of the VBUS output.

  • Info:  The on-board level shifters will draw a small amount of current even when they are not in use. Amaximum of 10 µA can be drawn from the target power net, and an additional 2 µA can be drawn fromeach I/O pin connected to a level shifter for a total of 20 µA. Disconnect the on-board debugger and levelshifters as described in Section 3.5 Disconnecting the On-Board Debugger and keep any I/O pinconnected to a level shifter in tri-state to prevent leakage.

    3.5 Disconnecting the On-Board DebuggerThe block diagram below shows all connections between the debugger and the PIC18F47K42 microcontroller.

    Info:  Peripheral signals shown in the image above such as UART, I2C, SPI, ADC, PWM, and others areshown at specific pins to comply with the Curiosity Nano board standard. These signals can usually berouted to alteriative pins using the Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) feature in the PIC18F47K42.

    4.1.2 Using Pin HeadersThe edge connector footprint on PIC18F47K42 Curiosity Nano has a staggered design where each of the holes isshifted 8 mil (~0.2 mm) off center. The hole shift allows the use of regular 100-mil pin headers on the kit withoutsoldering. Once the pin headers are firmly in place, they can be used in normal applications like pin sockets andprototyping boards without any issues.

  • Tip:  Start at one end of the pin header and gradually insert the header along the length of the board.Once all the pins are in place, use a flat surface to push them all the way in.

    Tip:  For applications where the pin headers will be used permanently, it is still recommended to solderthem in place.

    Important:  Once the pin headers are in place, they are hard to remove by hand. Use a set of pliers andcarefully remove the pin headers to avoid damage to the pin headers and PCB.

    4.2 Peripherals

    4.2.1 LEDThere is one yellow user LED available on the PIC18F47K42 Curiosity Nano kit that can be controlled by either GPIOor PWM. The LED can be activated by driving the connected I/O line to GND.

    RE0 Yellow LED0 Edge connector

    4.2.2 Mechanical SwitchThe PIC18F47K42 Curiosity Nano has one mechanical switch. This is a generic user-configurable switch. When theswitch is pressed, it will drive the I/O line to ground (GND).

    Tip:  There is no externally connected pull-up resistor on the switch. To use the switch, make sure that aninternal pull-up resistor is enabled on pin RE2.

    4.2.3 Crystal

    The PIC18F47K42 Curiosity Nano board has a footprint for a 32.768 kHz crystal.

    The crystal footprint is connected to the PIC18F47K42 by default, but the GPIOs are routed out to the edgeconnector through open solder straps. The two I/O lines routed to the edge connector are disconnected by default toboth reduce the chance of contention to the crystal as well as removing excessive capacitance on the lines whenusing the crystal. To use the pins RC0 and RC1 as GPIO on the edge connector, some hardware modification isneeded. Add a solder blob to the open straps on the bottom side to connect the routing. The crystal should bedisconnected when using the pin as GPIO, as this might harm the crystal.

    4.2.4 On-Board Debugger ImplementationPIC18F47K42 Curiosity Nano features an on-board debugger that can be used to program and debug thePIC18F47K42 using ICSP. The on-board debugger also includes a Virtual COM port (CDC) interface over UART andDGI GPIO. Microchip MPLAB® X IDE can be used as a front-end for the on-board debugger for programming anddebugging. Data Visualizer can be used as a front-end for the CDC and DGI GPIO.

    4.2.4.1 On-Board Debugger ConnectionsThe table below shows the connections between the target and the debugger section. All connections between thetarget and the debugger are tri-stated as long as the debugger is not actively using the interface. Hence, there is littlecontamination of the signals the pins can be configured to anything the user wants.

    For further information on how to use the capabilities of the on-board debugger, see Section 3. Curiosity Nano.

  • 5. Hardware Revision History and Known IssuesThis user guide provides the latest available revision of the kit. This section contains information about known issues,a revision history of older revisions, and how older revisions differ from the latest revision.

    5.1 Identifying Product ID and RevisionThe revision and product identifier of the PIC18F47K42 Curiosity Nano can be found in two ways; either throughMicrochip MPLAB® X IDE or by looking at the sticker on the bottom side of the PCB.

    By connecting a PIC18F47K42 Curiosity Nano to a computer with Microchip MPLAB® X IDE running, an informationwindow will pop up. The first six digits of the serial number, which is listed under kit details, contain the productidentifier and revision.

    The same information can be found on the sticker on the bottom side of the PCB. Most kits will print the identifier andrevision in plain text as A09-nnnn\rr, where “nnnn” is the identifier and “rr” is the revision. The boards with limitedspace have a sticker with only a QR code, containing the product identifier, revision and the serial number.

    The serial number string has the following format:

    "nnnnrrssssssssss"

    n = product identifier

    r = revision

    s = serial number

    The product identifier for PIC18F47K42 Curiosity Nano is A09-3244.

    5.2 Revision 2Revision 2 adds the Target Power strap and staggered the holes along the edge of the PCB for convenient use of pinheaders without soldering.

    5.3 Revision 1Revision 1 is the initially released revision with limited distribution.

    The holes along the edge of revision 1 are not staggered as described in 4.1.2 Using Pin Headers, and requires thatany pin headers must be soldered into the board for use.

    Revision 1 does not have the Target Power strap described in 3.4 Target Current Measurement, instead current canbe measured across the Power Supply strap as described in 3.5 Disconnecting the On-Board Debugger.

  • 7.4 Connecting External DebuggersEven though there is an on-board debugger, external debuggers can be connected directly to the PIC18F47K42Curiosity Nano to program/debug the PIC18F47K42. The on-board debugger keeps all the pins connected to thePIC18F47K42 and board edge in tri-state when not actively used. Therefore, the on-board debugger will not interferewith any external debug tools.

    CAUTIONThe MPLAB PICkit 4 In-circuit Debugger/Programmer is capable of delivering high voltage on the MCLRpin. R110 can be permanently damaged by the high voltage. If R110 is broken, the on-board debugger cannot enter programming mode of the PIC18F47K42, and will typically fail at reading the device ID.

    CAUTIONTo avoid contention between the external debugger and the on-board debugger, do not start anyprogramming/debug operation with the on-board debugger through Microchip MPLAB® X or mass storageprogramming while the external tool is active.

    Microchip Devices Code Protection FeatureNote the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:

    • Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.• Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today,

    when used in the intended manner and under normal conditions.• There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these

    methods, to our knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operatingspecifications contained in Microchip’s Data Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft ofintellectual property.

    • Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.• Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code

    protection does not mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”

    Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protectionfeatures of our products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the DigitalMillennium Copyright Act. If such acts allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, youmay have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
