AVAILABLE DEMO SOFTWARE:
PIC-USB-STK is shipping with pre-programmed Microchip’s USB bootloader
and demo code. The Bootloader allow HEX files to be loaded in the PIC via
USB interface using the free dowloadable software from Microchip’s web:

How to use the bootloader document is available at:
http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/MCHPFSUSB_FW_UG_51679a.pdf
USB bootloader (C source and HEX)
The CP/B2 jumper should be in position B2, the EXT/USB should be in
position USB. If you press and keep pressed the B2 button while apply
power to the board or after Reset the bootloader is activated. If you have
installed the PICDEM FS USB Demo Tool from the link above when you run
it it will detect if the bootloader is activated and will allow you to load HEX
files to the board without need for programmer. Of course if you erase the
chip and the bootloader you will need programmer to load again bootloader
HEX file inside the PIC.
HID Mouse demo (C source and HEX)
This is USB mouse demo, with the four buttons you can move your mouse
cursor.
Mass Storage device (C source and HEX)
The CP/B2 jumper should be in CP position. Plug the USB cable before you
insert MMC card in the SD/MMC connector. Then you have to plug the
card in the connector. Windows will recognize and install the drivers for
Mass Storage device and you will see your card as new drive.
If your card is inserted in the SD-MMC card connector when you plug USB
the board will enter in bootloader mode.
USB RS232 converter (C source and HEX)
This demo code creates Virtual COM port. The drivers are in this folder:
C:\MCHPFSUSB\fw\Cdc\inf\win2k_winxp_winvista32
PIC-USB-STK demo code (C source and HEX)
This demo code is shipping with the board by default. You can read the
trimpot value, control LED3, LED4 with the corresponding buttons. You
should run PICDEM FS USB Demo Tool in demo mode to explore the
capabilities.
Note: in all above examples the bootloader in included i.e. you can enter in
bootloader mode by pressing B2 while in Reset. Be careful when you modify
the codes as you may exclude the bootloader part when you compile the
demo codes and in this case you will lose the bootloader code.
