- hmry 3y agoSeems the MPFS025T is not supported on the silver license unfortunately
- sheepshear 3y agoThe product table says that MPFS025 works with the free Silver license. Only the -S (security) versions require a paid license. Meaning, the MPFS025T has a free license, but the other MPFS025TS would not. When searching for hardware part numbers, you should first omit the letters at the end, and then read carefully about what they mean.
- rcxdude 3y agoNot only that, but you can flash an MPF*S with a non-S version. You only lose the "security" features (read: anti-tampering and debug prevention)
- hmry 3y agoThe product table I saw says "MPF100 (non 'S' devices)", and then I checked their MPF100 family comparison page and saw that no "MPFS*" devices were listed there. Is there a more informative product table on some page? Or how is one expected to know that MPFS025 is a "MPF100 non S" device? Genuine question, I am curious

Then click on the link "Libero license selector guide" to download the Excel spreadsheet. Filter or search for MPFS025. Microchip does Excel spreadsheet selector guides for everything. As a general guideline when dealing with hardware components, don't trust anything you read on a web page.
- hmry 3y agoAh, thank you!
