Identify your hardware
Record kit ordering code, PCB revision and fitted device. Obtain the matching user guide, schematic and bill of supplied accessories.
Microchip Technology / Boards & kits
Development kits
Representative Microchip platforms for logic, RISC-V software and interface evaluation.
Evaluation hardware: identify the kit code and board revision, then verify fitted devices, connector voltages, power and supplied accessories.
EVALUATION & INTEGRATION
Board identity & bring-up
Check before power-on
Confirm supply polarity/rating, jumper settings, connector voltages and boot mode from the board guide. Disconnect unverified peripherals.
Establish a reproducible baseline
Run the documented example with its specified tool release. Save the configuration, logs and observed result before changing interfaces or firmware.

What to confirm before selection
Record the exact revision and resolve these requirements against its documentation.
- Use the vendor-native logic, memory and DSP definitions; unlike resource units are not directly equivalent.
- Confirm package pinout, I/O bank voltages, configuration method and the supported tool release before layout.
- Review power sequencing, decoupling, BGA escape routing and programming access with the complete ordering number.
- Check the core, flash/RAM, peripherals, pin multiplexing and safety/security requirements together.
- Confirm debugger, IDE/compiler version, bootloader and in-circuit programming access for production.

PRACTICAL QUESTIONS
Development kits selection questions
Which product or release should I specify?
Use the exact product name and revision, together with the target device and intended workflow. Representative Microchip platforms for logic, RISC-V software and interface evaluation.
How do I check device support?
Use the manufacturer support matrix, release notes or board documentation for the exact revision. Record the exact target device and version; a shared manufacturer alone does not prove compatibility.
What should be checked before integration?
Confirm the board or module revision, fitted device, carrier interface, supply, cooling, connectors, accessories and reference software.
What should I include in a project request?
Describe the application, exact product or revision, target hardware, quantities and delivery requirements. State which components, board manufacturing, programming and test work you need reviewed.
