pickit 3


Microchip PICKit 3 is coming:
Quote:

The MPLAB PICkit 3 allows debugging and programming of PIC® and dsPIC® Flash microcontrollers at a most affordable price point using the powerful graphical user interface of the MPLAB Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The MPLAB PICkit 3 is connected to the design engineer's PC using a full speed USB interface and can be connected to the target via an Microchip debug (RJ-11) connector (compatible with MPLAB ICD 2/ 3 and MPLAB REAL ICE). The connector uses two device I/O pins and the reset line to implement in-circuit debugging and In-Circuit Serial Programming™.

Features

* USB (Full speed 2 Mbits/sinterface to host PC)
* Real-time execution
* MPLAB IDE compatible (free copy included)
* Built-in over voltage/short circuit monitor
* Firmware upgradeable from PC/web download
* Totally enclosed
* Supports low voltage to 2.0 volts (2.0 to 6.0 range)
* Diagnostic LEDs (Power, Busy, Error)
* Read/write program and data memory of microcontroller
* Erase of program memory space with verification
* Freeze-peripherals at breakpoint


More detail is available on this web page:

microchip pickit 3


New processor inside and should be slightly higher performance on debugging.

pickit3 firmware


MPLAB V8.20A is recommended for PICkit 3:
Quote:
MPLAB IDE v8.20a is now released to the web. It addresses a couple of v8.20 issues:

Peripherals not starting after a halt (16-bit devices)
Affects only MPLAB IDE v8.20
Tools – REAL ICE, ICD 3, PICkit 3

A firmware issue has been found where certain peripherals may not restart after a halt has occurred during a debug session.
This affects 16-bit devices (dsPIC33F, PIC24H, and PIC24F). Also, sporadic programming failures were occurring with some PIC24FGA/GB devices.

Programming failure when Software Breakpoints enabled
Affects only MPLAB IDE v8.20, 18F devices
Tools – REAL ICE and ICD 3

A programming problem has been found when Software Breakpoints are enabled and the device is programmed. This happens on 18F products, not 18FJ devices. The failure signature is the Debug Executive will fail to program.

pickit 3 vs icd 3


The PICKit 3 schematic is open to the public, and it is in the PICKIT 3 users manual.

Re: Microchip PICKit 3 is coming:


I downloaded the file but I could not find the PCB and SCH file, only the firmware and some pdfs. Is it right?

Did anyone tested the PicKit 3, does it work?

Thanks.

The wait is over. The latest MPLAB release 8.40 includes PICkit 3 support for Programming OTG (except for PIC32).

That's cool, now both PK2 and PK3 support PTG.
PK2 uses its own PC application, PK3 uses MPLAB. That's interesting.
Let's see how long it will take for PK3 to have a standalone PC GUI just like the PK2.

Thanks.

PK3 is still in the early phase of its product life, so there are lots of bugs reported in the past 10 months.
Also most of the PK3 software design took an approach of ICD2, which makes it less reliable for long term usage.
