Starting MPLAB IDE
After installing the MPLAB IDE and ICEPIC In-Circuit Emulator software,
invoke the MPLAB IDE by executing the file mplab.exe. For more
information on using the MPLAB IDE software, refer to the MPLAB IDE User’s
Guide (DS51205) and the included readme.lab file in the MPLAB directory.

Use the Development Mode dialog to select and setup the ICEPIC In-Circuit
Emulator for use with the MPLAB IDE software.
1. Select Options > Development Mode.
2. At the Tools tab, select ICEPIC and the processor you are going to use.
3. Click on the Ports tab. Select the desired COM port (COM1, COM2,
4. Select the Configuration tab to enable or disable the watchdog timer.
5. Click OK.
Setting Up a Project
Create a new project by selecting Project > New Project. Find or create a
directory for the new project and then name the project (e.g., newproj.pjt).
For more information on creating and using projects, refer to the MPLAB IDE
User’s Guide (DS51025).
Set Up Problems
If you have difficulty starting the MPLAB IDE or setting up a new project, refer

COM3 or COM4) and baud rate settings for ICEPIC Communication.
No hardware jumpers or switch modifications are necessary. The system
is auto-baud capable. In most cases, a baud rate of 38.4K is reliable. If
serial I/O errors are reported, try reducing the baud rate to 19.2.
Select the Break Options tab to choose only the breakpoint options you
wish to use while working with the selected processor.
If the MPLAB IDE cannot find the ICEPIC In-Circuit Emulator, check your
hardware connections (Section 1.7) and then go to step 1. If you still can-
not connect, refer to Chapter 5: Troubleshooting.
