This repository contains the MPLAB® Harmony 3 Reference Applications for SAM MPUs.
Reference Applications for SAM MPUs are standalone applications which demonstrates specific features or capabilities of Microchip SAM MPUs. These applications are developed on Microchip's SAM MPU development boards/kits.
In addition to having the MPU, the SAM MPU development boards/kits also provide support to exercise the features of MPU through extension hardware like displays, communication buses, transceivers, sensors, external memories, etc. The additional hardware features are available on the SAM MPU development boards/kits or is available as plugin through interface headers like mikroBUS Click or Xplained Pro extensions.
Following are the typical application types in this repository
- Large feature-rich applications involving integration of several technologies like USB, TCP/IP, Wireless, Security, Low Power, RTOS, etc.
- Applications demonstrating certain capabilities of the SAM MPUs. For example: Low Power applications, etc.
- Applications demonstrating capabilities of Microchip SAM MPU development boards/kits (Curiosity, Nano, etc.) which allows extending hardware capability through mikroBUS Click or Xplained Pro extensions.
- Getting started applications pertaining to the SAM MPU products. These getting started applications demonstrates usage of MPLAB Harmony 3 framework with MCC UI by exercising commonly used peripheral features.
The above application types serve as a reference source to evaluate solutions for SAM MPUs by developing applications using MPLAB Harmony 3 software framework.
Note: The application examples in this repository are an alternative source of reference covering the above types. MPLAB Harmony 3 provides more product-specific examples on peripherals, drivers and middleware technologies. More such examples are available in the product/technology-specific repositories.
Repository and demo application support:
