Learn Harmony for PIC32MZ

By Bill Petrick

The purpose of this book is to help new Harmony users climb the steep learning curve so they can use the MPLAB Harmony development environment to develop reliable and reproducible applications using Microchip devices. The "learn-by-doing" method used in the book provides a deep understanding of the underlying structures and architecture of Harmony which can be applied to the PIC32MZ (EF) starter kit and/or custom boards. Microchip provides a wide variety of hardware products supported by a comprehensive suite of software development tools. For newbies, however, choosing which tools and products can be overwhelming. The Microchip starter kits can be used to demonstrate the hardware and software capabilities, but the learning curve can be daunting. Even though Microchip provides wikidot tutorials and thousands of pages of documentation, there is little or no guidance to explain the "how and why" when developing Harmony applications. My first book, "Harmony for PIC32MX Applications", is based on the Ethernet Starter Kit II (MX chip) and targets the new-to-Harmony user. This book is also for a new Harmony user, but it addresses functionality available with the more powerful MZ chip and includes features that are of interest to the intermediate-level developer. I have added new sections to this book that: (a) use the Pin Manager to connect the board peripherals to the application code, and (b) added an entire chapter that addresses how Harmony can be used in conjunction with the real-time operating system, FreeRTOS.
