<p>This repository contains the MPLAB® Harmony 3 Reference Applications
for SAM MCUs.</p>
<p>Reference Applications for SAM MCUs are standalone applications which
demonstrates specific features or capabilities of Microchip SAM MCUs.
These applications are developed on Microchip’s SAM MCU development
boards/kits.</p>
<p>In addition to having the MCU, the SAM MCU development boards/kits
also provide support to exercise the features of MCU through extension
hardware like displays, communication buses, transceivers, sensors,
external memories, etc. The additional hardware features are available
on the SAM MCU development boards/kits or is available as plugin through
interface headers like mikroBUS Click or Xplained Pro extensions.</p>
<p>Following are the typical application types in this repository -
Large feature-rich applications involving integration of several
technologies like USB, TCP/IP, Wireless, Security, Low Power, RTOS, etc.
- Applications demonstrating certain capabilities of the SAM MCUs. For
example: Low Power applications, etc. - Applications demonstrating
capabilities of Microchip SAM MCU development boards/kits (Curiosity,
Nano, etc.) which allows extending hardware capability through mikroBUS
Click or Xplained Pro extensions. - Getting started applications
pertaining to the SAM MCU products. These getting started applications
demonstrates usage of MPLAB Harmony 3 framework with MCC UI by
exercising commonly used peripheral features.</p>
<p>The above application types serve as a reference source to evaluate
solutions for PIC32CM MCUs by developing applications using MPLAB
Harmony 3 software framework.</p>
<h3 id="note">Note:</h3>
<ul>
<li>The application examples in this repository are an alternative
source of reference covering the above types. MPLAB Harmony 3 provides
more product-specific examples on peripherals, drivers and middleware
technologies. More such examples are available in the
product/technology-specific repositories.</li>
<li>Refer the MPLAB Harmony 3 GitHub <a

view the complete list of MPLAB Harmony 3 packages. In each of these
packages refer the underlying “apps” folder for the applications
offering.</li>
