1.2 STARTER KIT FUNCTIONALITY AND FEATURES
1.2.1 Development Board
Representations of the layout of the development board included in the PIC32MZ
Embedded Connectivity (EC) Starter Kit are shown in Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2.
The top assembly of the board includes these key features, as indicated in Figure 1-1:
1. PIC32MZ2048ECH144-I/PH or PIC32MZ2048ECM144-I/PH (Crypto Engine)
32-bit microcontroller.
2. Green power indicator LED.
3. On-board crystal or oscillator for precision microcontroller clocking (24 MHz).
4. USB connectivity for on-board debugger communications.
5. Green debug indicator LED.
6. Three push button switches for user-defined inputs.
7. Three user-defined indicator LEDs.
8. USB Type A receptacle connectivity for PIC32 host-based applications.
9. HOST mode power jumper.
10. Daughter board connectors for flexible Ethernet PHY options.
11. 32 kHz oscillator for RTCC and Timer1 (optional).
12. External 4 GB SQI memory for expanded memory applications.
13. Jumper for using or disconnecting the on-board debugger.
For more information on key features, refer to Chapter 2. “Hardware”.

Note: When running self-powered USB device applications, open the jumper JP1
to prevent possibly back-feeding voltage onto the V
BUS from one port on
the host to another (or from one host to another).
