Running the Demo

## Required Hardware:

To run this project, you will need one of the following sets of hardware:

PIC32MX USB Starter Board (DM320003)

PIC32MX IO Expander Board (DM320002)

SD Card PICTail Plus (AC164122)

Firmware:

To run this project, you will need to load the corresponding firmware into the device.

The source code for this demo is available in the “<Install Directory\sample_code\\usb_sk_msd_device_demo” directory. In this directory you will find all of the user level source and header files as well as project and workspace files. Find the project (*.mcp) or workspace (*.mcw) file. Compile and program the demo code into the hardware platform. For more help on how to compile and program projects, please refer to the MPLAB® IDE help available through the help menu of MPLAB (Help->Topics…->MPLAB IDE).

Running the Demo:

This demo uses the hardware platform as an SD card reader. Connect the hardware platform to a computer through a USB cable.

How to use:

Requires the use of a PIC32 IO Expansion Board and a PICtail(TM) Board for

SD(TM) and MMC Cards (as well as a FAT16/32 formatted SD card for storage).

1. Connect PICtail(TM) card as directed, in first position on PICtail(TM)

expander board (so that pin-1 on Expansion Board receptacle contacts

pin 1 on the PICtail(TM) board.

2. Attach device connection to (Micro-B connector) to host. Device will

enumerate as a Mass Storage Device.

The device should appear as a new drive on the computer named “Removable Drive”.

If no SD Card is inserted in the SD Card PICTail Plus, the following dialog will pop-up.

Once a compatible card is inserted in the card reader, files can be read, deleted, and manipulated like any other drive on the computer.
