Majenko SDXL
This is a clone of the TCHIP010 Fubarino SD 1.5 from Microchip with a PIC32MX795F512H processor and micro SD card slot.
A popular use of this board and the original is to run RetroBSD.
Since this is such a large device I chose to mount it adjacent to a solder-less breadboard rather than acquire a breadboard capable of housing it. This is something to consider before attaching the headers.
It must be pointed out that the PIC32MX795F512H only has a guaranteed cell endurance of 1000 erase/write cycles. It's hard to recommend this device for development work.

Pickle Microchip PIC ICSP
Using Pickle on a Raspberry Pi we may perform ICSP (see either photo).
Configuration
The device configuration will vary depending on what version of a RPi you have, here is an example for my RPi 2B (see bottom photo).
DEVICE=RPI2 SLEEP=2 BITRULES=0x1000 VPP=26 PGC=19 PGD=13 PGM=-1
Program Executive
It is a good idea to fetch the programming executive for this device which is the following.
RIPE_06_000201.hex
See this for more information about installing the PE.
Test
Testing ICSP by querying the device identify will produce something similar to this.

Boot loader
USB boot loader firmware can be built with the MPIDE compiler and the build process is documented here.
Here we program the loader then verify it.

If you program this board without a boot loader you can use the following configuration which is the default used by this device.
