ChipKIT Pi

MX270 at 48MHz

Prototyping board + chipKIT Pi + Pi Zero

The ChipKITPi is a PIC32, MIPS32 based add-on board for the Raspberry Pi Model B.

It is designed to be used with the Multi-Platform Integrated Development Environment but this isn't a requirement.

ICSP is wired internally to the chipKIT Pi and no other wiring is necessary.

Boot loader & LED demo

The boot loader firmware can be updated or programmed into a blank chip using Pickle Microchip PIC ICSP.

The process is documented on the chipkit32 boot loader project page which also contains information about an LED blink demo.
