ChipKit Uc32 (410-254)

[Tech110]

Hello

The problem I am experiencing is loading the  chipKIT-uC32-v01000303.hex bootloader into a uc32 board and the Arduino 1.8.15 will not communicate to the board. I compared the downloaded HEX file with a brand new uc32 board using the MPLAB x IDE V5.45 verification tool. The two codes do not match.  Is there an update to the bootloader?

Hi @Tech110,

No, there has not been an update to the bootloader in many years (it was last updated prior to 2014). From your previous description, it sounds like you did everything correctly with using MPLAB IPE and presumably selected PIC32MX340F512H.

The Digilent made uC32 board has been retired for some time though, so I don't have a lot of support to offer. There might be some different bootloaders for it on the chipKIT GitHub here and here, though beyond that I'm not sure what else you could try.

Thanks,
JColvin

Hello J.Colvin,

Thank you for the update. Please send me the bootloader source code or link to the code for this uC32 board. 

Thanks
