MPLAB ICE 4000 DEFINED
HOW MPLAB ICE 4000 HELPS YOU
An overview of the MPLAB ICE 4000 system is given.
This chapter discusses:
• MPLAB ICE 4000 Defined
• How MPLAB ICE 4000 Helps You
• MPLAB ICE 4000 Kit Components
MPLAB ICE 4000 is an In-Circuit Emulator (ICE) designed to emulate PIC18X
microcontroller (MCU) devices and dsPIC digital signal controller (DSC) devices. It
uses the latest emulation processors to provide full-speed emulation and visibility into
both the instruction and the data paths during execution.
MPLAB ICE 4000 performs basic functions such as run, halt, single step, and software
breakpoints, plus advanced features such as instruction address data monitoring,
instruction data trace, complex triggering and code coverage, and extended memory
access.
MPLAB ICE 4000 support is integrated into MPLAB IDE v6.xx, Microchip’s 32-bit
Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The MPLAB IDE desktop provides an
environment for developing and debugging your application.
This document covers the basic setup and operation of the MPLAB ICE 4000 emulator,
but it does not cover all functions of MPLAB IDE. Refer to the MPLAB IDE v6.xx Quick
Start (DS51281) and the on-line help for MPLAB IDE v6.xx to get a full understanding
of the features and debug capabilities of the MPLAB IDE.
MPLAB ICE 4000 allows you to:
• Debug your application on your own hardware in real time.
• Debug with both hardware and software breakpoints.
• Measure timing between events using the stopwatch or complex trigger.
• Set breakpoints based on internal and/or external signals.
• Monitor internal file registers.
• Emulate full speed (depending on the device).
• Select the oscillator source in software.
• Program the application clock speed.
• Trace data bus activity and time stamp events.
• Set complex triggers based on program and data bus events, and external inputs.
