UNI CODEGRIP is a unified solution, designed to perform
programming and debugging tasks on a range of different
microcontroller devices (MCUs) based on both the ARM®
Cortex®-M, RISC-V and PIC®, dsPIC, PIC32 and AVR
architectures from Microchip. By bridging differences
between various MCUs, it allows a huge number of MCUs
from several different MCU vendors to be programmed
and debugged. Although the number of supported MCUs is
absolutely huge, more MCUs might be added in the future,
along with some new functionalities.
Thanks to some advanced and unique features such as
wireless connectivity and USB-C connector, the task of
programming of a huge number of microcontrollers becomes
seamless and effortless, providing users with both the
mobility and the complete control over the microcontroller
programming and debugging process. The USB-C connector
offers improved performance and reliability, compared
to traditionally used USB Type A/B connectors. Wireless
connectivity redefines the way the development board can
be used.
The graphical user interface (GUI) of the CODEGRIP Suite is
clear, intuitive, and easy to learn, offering a very pleasant user
experience. The embedded HELP system provides detailed
guidelines for every aspect of the CODEGRIP Suite.

The CODEGRIP device offers a set of unique and innovative
functionalities, some of which have never been used before
on a similar device. These functionalities include wireless
programming and debugging, power monitoring, advanced
debugging options with the SWO support, and more.
The CODEGRIP device comes in two different types: as a
stand-alone device and an integrated on-board module. This
manual will be focused on the stand-alone CODEGRIP device.
In order to better understand how this device is operated, this
chapter will give you a brief overview of its basic hardware
functions.

2.1 USB connectivity
2.2 WiFi connectivity
The USB-C connector is the latest upgrade of the conventional USB A/B
type connectors, typically found on most personal computers today. The
USB-C connector has many advantages over the USB type A/B connector
such as the completely symmetrical design which reduces the possibility
of the connector misalignment and the damage it might cause, higher
current capability, and more. However, if there is not appropriate USB-C
connector on the host PC, a USB-C cable adapter can be used.
The CODEGRIP device can be linked with the CODEGRIP Suite over the WiFi
network, allowing it to program and debug the target MCU wirelessly. This
is a revolutionary new feature, which allows some unique usage scenarios,
currently not available on any other programming/debugging solution in
the world. The WiFi connectivity option offers a complete autonomy of
the development system. Running a toxic gas sensor application while
debugging the firmware in real time, programming it with a new firmware
during exposure, having sensor responses collected and logged remotely

N O T ETo use the WiFi functionality, a separate registration code is required. It
can be bought from the official Mikroe online store www.mikroe.com
from several different base points, debugging drone firmware while it is in
mid-air… This is just a simple example of what CODEGRIP can offer.
The WiFi module on the CODEGRIP device has an integrated chip antenna,
which allows good WiFi reception. However, if a stronger WiFi signal is
required, the CODEGRIP device offers an SMA connector for an external
WiFi antenna.
The WiFi link can be protected by a password, or by the MAC address
filtering option.

The CODEGRIP device is equipped with the connector used to interface
the device with the target MCU. The connector allows it to perform
programming and debugging operations, to provide the power supply for
the target MCU, and to be used as the power input when the CODEGRIP
device is powered from the connected development board. More detailed
descriptions of connector pinout for every supported architecture can be
found futher in this document.
N O T E When the connected host board provides power to the CODEGRIP
device, CODEGRIP input voltage must be in range 2.5V to 10V.
