Hi.



Received the “Xpress PIC16F18446 Evaluation Board” board this week.
I have read the user guide, but I cannot find any clear info around how
to program the device. The closes is the text on the web page that says:



“Drag-and-Drop Programming:

Programming the MPLAB Xpress PIC16F18446 Evaluation Board is quick and easy.
We've integrated a unique drag-and-drop programmer for compatibility with almost
any USB-connected PC, laptop, or tablet. The MPLAB Xpress Evaluation board connects
to your PC as a USB Flash drive, so no drivers are needed. Programming of the target
device is completed in microseconds, with no waiting. The evaluation board makes it
quick and easy to build a working prototype in a short period of time.”

OK, right. But how? Where to “drop” the file (an hex file?). In the root of the
emulated device? In some directory? With some special file name?



Does the integrated support in MPLAB X handle this automatically?



Have any one got their board running successfully yet?
