TYPICAL DEVELOPMENT BOARD CONFIGURATIONS
The typical connections to use the development board as shipped from the factory are
shown in Figure 1-4. To run the pre-programmed demo application:
1. Connect the Truly 3.2” Display Board display into Display Connector V1 (depend-
ing on the development board kit ordered, this may or may not be included with
the development board)
2. Plug a 9V power supply into J1
To program the board for application development, use one of the two programming
ports provided:
? J10, a 6-wire RJ-11 jack (for use with MPLAB ICD 3 and MPLAB REAL ICE
programmers)
? J9, a 6-pin riser (for use with the PICkit 3 programmer)
See Section 4.3.5 “Programming and Debugging Interface” for additional details
on the programming ports.

DEVELOPMENT BOARD DEMONSTRATION PROGRAMS
The development board is pre-programmed with a demo application designed for the
Truly 3.2” Display Board. The application automatically runs when power is applied to
the board, and shows various Microchip Application Libraries integrated into a single
The application can be reconfigured to run on other display panels. To do this, the
board must be reprogrammed with the proper HEX file. For directions on reprogram-
Additional demonstration programs are provided with the Microchip Graphics Library,
discussed in the following section. Refer to the Graphics Library Help file for details on
how to download and run the additional demo applications.
