25026 FRM7: Microchip Device Firmware Update Ecosystem (August 2025)
This class will provide an overview of the Microchip Device Firmware Update Ecosystem.
This is a recording of the course "25026 FRM7: Microchip Device Firmware Update Ecosystem" from the 2025 MASTERs Conference.
Embedded system designs frequently require a method for updating microcontroller firmware via standard communication buses such as UART, I2C, SPI, and others. Often, these bootloader methods are considered late in the design process. Fortunately, Microchip has developed a complete firmware update ecosystem including a host and bootloader clients that are easy to integrate with your project. This enables system designers to address bootloader design and implementation in a cohesive and straightforward manner. This class will provide an overview of the Microchip Device Firmware Update Ecosystem. In the hands-on labs you will create a combined bootloader/application project and use the Microchip Device Firmware Update (MDFU) host to update the client processor with a new application.
Prerequisites:
Prior experience with MPLAB X and using C for embedded microcontrollers is beneficial
