MPLAB Starter Kit for Serial Memory Products 3.0

MPLAB Starter Kit for Serial Memory Products is a companion software package that streamlines evaluation, prototyping, and basic programming of serial memory devices within the MPLAB ecosystem. Designed for engineers and educators, it provides an intuitive workflow to interact with common serial memory protocols, helping you validate parts, exercise read/write operations, and accelerate bring-up without writing low-level test code.

Key features:

• Interactive GUI for issuing read, write, erase, and verify operations
• Support for widely used serial memory interfaces (such as I2C and SPI)
• Import/export of data in common formats (for example, HEX and binary)
• Device detection and basic identification to simplify part selection
• Operation logs and status messages for quick troubleshooting
• Sample projects and reference material to jump-start integration with MPLAB tools

Typical uses:

• Rapid evaluation of serial EEPROM and Flash devices
• Lab bring-up and regression checks during hardware development
• Educational demonstrations of serial memory concepts

This software helps reduce setup time, lowers the barrier to testing serial memories, and complements the broader MPLAB toolchain used across embedded development workflows.
