Overview

The chipKIT PGM is a simple, low cost, module that supports in-system programming and debugging of

applications written for Microchip® PIC-based microcontroller boards such as the chipKIT and Cerebot™ boards.

The chipKIT PGM is designed to work with the MPLAB® and MPLAB X development environments available from

Microchip. This allows the chipKIT boards, for example, to be used as a more traditional microcontroller

development platform using the professional tools available from Microchip.

The chipKIT PGM can also be used from within the MPLAB or MPLAB-X development environments to enable in-

system debugging of sketches developed using the Arduino® compatible MPIDE development environment.
