Microchip Technology MPLAB REAL ICE In-Circuit Emulator Setup

Brand: Microchip Technology

Model: MPLAB REAL ICE In-Circuit Emulator

Type: Setup

2. Connect the PIC32MX Trace Interface hardware (AC244006 – sold

separately) as shown on the back of these instructions. Your PIC32MX

PIM must contain a device that supports trace in order to use trace. See

the device data sheet for details.

3. Power the target board.

Note: The emulator cannot power the target.

Software Setup

1. Launch MPLAB IDE.

2. Find currently-supported devices in the release notes:

Help>Release

Notes>MPLAB REAL ICE Emulator Release Notes.

3. Select your device:

Configure>Select Device.

4. Select the MPLAB REAL ICE in-circuit emulator as a debugger

(

Debugger>Select Tool>REAL ICE) or as a programmer

(

Programmer >Select Programmer>REAL ICE).

5. When using the emulator as a debugger, select “Debug” on the

toolbar:

Emulator Usage

1. You can enable trace through Debugger/Programmer>Settings,

Trace tab, check “Enable Trace”. However, other debug functions may

be impacted. For more information, please see the “MPLAB

REAL

ICE™ In-Circuit Emulator User’s Guide” (DS51616) or on-line help (from

MPLAB IDE select

Help>Topics>Debuggers>MPLAB REAL ICE).

2. To verify that the emulator is functioning properly, use the loop-back test

described on the back of these instructions.

Driver and Software Installation

CAUTION:

Do not connect the hardware before installing the software. See

instructions below.

1. Install the MPLAB

IDE v8.00 or later software application on your PC

from either the CD-ROM or Microchip web site. This and later versions

include support for PIC32MX devices on the MPLAB REAL ICE™ in-

circuit emulator system .

2. Insert a driver board into the emulator pod, but do not connect to a target

board. Connect the emulator pod to your PC via a USB cable. Follow the

“Found New Hardware Wizard” to install the drivers (software)

automatically. For more information, detailed driver installation

instructions are available in the MPLAB IDE installation directory in:

REAL ICE\Drivers\ddri.htm

Hardware Setup

CAUTION:

If you need to change the driver board, remove power (USB

connection) from the pod first

1. Connect the emulator pod to your unpowered target as shown in one of

the two communication diagrams on the back of these instructions.

Loop-Back Test

To verify that the emulator is function-

ing properly, use the loop-back test

board. Disconnect the emulator from

the target and PC, plug in the stan-

dard driver board and loop-back test

board as shown, reconnect the emu-

lator to the PC, and select the emula-

tor as in “Software Setup”, Step 3, on

the front of these instructions to

automatically run the loop-back test.
