How to install the MPLAB REAL ICE in-circuit emulator system is discussed.
• Installing the Software
• Installing the USB Device Drivers
• Selecting Target Communications
• Connecting the Logic Probes
• Connecting and Powering the Emulator
• Connecting and Powering the Target
To install the MPLAB IDE software, first acquire the latest MPLAB IDE installation
executable (MPxxxxx.exe, where xxxxx represents the version of MPLAB IDE) from
either the Microchip web site (www.microchip.com) or the MPLAB IDE CD-ROM
(DS51123). Then run the executable and follow the screens to install MPLAB IDE.
MPLAB REAL ICE in-circuit emulator USB device drivers must be installed before the
emulator can use USB communications. Follow the html instructions found at the
location below to install the drivers:
MPLAB IDE installation directory\REAL ICE\Drivers\ddri.htm
If you have not already done so, insert the desired driver board into the emulator pod
and attach the cables. To change a driver board, unplug the USB and target power,
remove the board, insert the other board, plug in the USB and power the target.
A driver board is inserted into the pod to select the type of communication with the
target, either standard (for header boards and many demo boards) or high speed (for
target boards over six inches away from the emulator). See Section 2.4 “System
Configurations” for more details.
Neither the emulator nor target should be powered when inserting or removing a
driver board or damage to the driver board could result.
Note:
Note:
MPLAB IDE v7.43 or greater is required for MPLAB REAL ICE in-circuit
emulator functionality.
If you change USB ports/hubs, you will need to reinstall the drivers.
