MPLAB ICD 3 In-Circuit Debugger User's Guide

Tutorial5.8 SETTING UP THE DEMO BOARDBefore beginning to debug, make sure the Explorer 16 Demo Board is set up properly.For more information, see the “Explorer 16 Development Board User’s Guide”(DS51589).Settings for this tutorial should be as follows:• PIC24FJ128GA010 PIM (Plug-In Module) plugged into the board.• S2: “PIM” selected; “PIC” selection for devices soldered onto the board.• J7: “PIC24” selected; the debugger will communicate directly with thePIC24FJ128GA010 and not the on-board PIC18LF4550 USB device.• JP2: LEDs have been enabled by connecting Jumper 2.• D1 on: Power being supplied to board.5.9 LOADING PROGRAM CODE FOR DEBUGGINGSelect Debugger>Program to program RITut.hex into the PIC24FJ128GA010 on theExplorer 16 demo board.Note:The debug executive code is automatically programmed in upper programmemory for MPLAB ICD 3 debug functions. Debug code must beprogrammed into the target device to use the in-circuit debuggingcapabilities of the MPLAB ICD 3 in-circuit debugger.During programming, the ICD 3 tab of the Output dialog shows the current phase ofoperation. When programming is complete, the dialog should look similar toFigure 5-10.FIGURE 5-10:OUTPUT WINDOW – MPLAB ® ICD 3 TABNote:If you have trouble programming your device or communicating with thedebugger, unplug the Explorer 16 board and use the self-test board(Section 10.7 “ICD 3 Test Interface Board”) to verify communications.For additional help, see Chapter 6. “Frequently Asked Questions(FAQs)”.© 2008 Microchip Technology Inc.
