demo projects that include flash programming are created to run on supported
Microchip Demo Boards and development hardware. Pre-generated hex files are
available on the "Precompiled Demos" sub-directory found in the demo
directory. These hex files are generated using the alternative hardware
profiles found in the sub-directory named "Alternative
Configurations". Use the "<a

Compatibility Matrix</a>" when running pre-generated hex files appropriate
for your hardware. </span></p>
