What is In-Circuit Debugging (ICD) ?

 In Circuit Debugging is a technique where a monitor program runs on the PICmicro® MCU in the application circuit. The ICD board or the PIC Key connects to the MCU and to the PC. From any of our applications it is then possible to set breakpoints on theMCU, run code, single step, examine registers on the real device and change their values. The ICD makes debugging real time applications faster, easier and more accurate than simulation tools available for the MCU. The FED in circuit debugger and the PIC KEY have the following features: ·

  • Supports all PIC16XXX series PIC's (which have internal EEPROM write capability) as well as the 18Fxxx series- examples use PIC16F877 and PIC 18F452.
  • The same unit allows P16F and 18F series devices to be debugged - you no longer need a separate debugger for each device.
  • Allows real hardware to be examined and programs to be debugged in the application and to be run in real time.
  • Low cost board which has only 4 connections to the application circuit (2 Power, data and MCLR).
  • Powered from the application circuit (3.3V to 5V)
  • The FED ICD requires only one data I/O pin on the PICmicro® MCU which can be chosen from any of ports B, C or D.
  • Can program and re-program applications in circuit
  • Up to 3 breakpoints for 16F series and 14 breakpoints for 18F series
  • Full stack display and jump to source from stack capability (18F series only)
  • Run, single step and step over, run to cursor line, set PC to any value in the program
  • Trace execution in the original C or Assembler source files
  • Animate operation to trace variables at breakpoints or watch the program executing
  • Auto Run application if ICD not connected
  • View and change values of MCU special function and general purpose registers, W and the ports.
  • Uses a standard (3 wire) serial interface to a PC
