SPI EEPROM write read
This example application demonstrates how to use the SPI peripheral to write and read from the SPI serial EEPROM memory.
Description
This example uses the SPI peripheral library to write an array of values to the SPI Serial EEPROM and verify the value written by reading the values back and comparing it to the value written. The example application performs the EEPROM writing only once after a power on reset.

Setting up Curiosity PIC32MX470 Development Board
- To run the application, following additional hardware are required:
- Connect mini USB cable to the ‘Debug USB’ connector(J3) on the board to the computer
- Plug the EEPROM 4 Click board into the MikroBus socket J10 of the development board
- Note: Ensure that the series resistors on the mikroBUS headers are of value 0 Ohms
Setting up PIC32MX274 XLP Starter Kit
- To run the application, following additional hardware are required:
- Connect micro USB cable to the ‘Debug USB’ connector(J9) on the board to the computer.
- Plug the EEPROM 4 Click board into the MikroBus socket J5 of the development board
Running the Application
- Build and program the application using its IDE
- LED indicates the success or failure:
- LED is turned ON when the value read from the EEPROM matched with the written value
- LED is turned OFF when the value read from the EEPROM did not match with the written value
Following table provides LED names:
| Board | LED Name |
|---|---|
| Curiosity PIC32MX470 Development Board | LED1 |
| PIC32MX274 XLP Starter Kit | LED1 (RED) |
