I am trying to download my code onto the PIC18F87J11 on the Explorer 2 demoboard. I have setup the board correct according to the userguide. I have it configured to use the USB port and I am using the chip attached to the ICE socket. I can connect to the board using Hyperterminal so I know my connection works, but when I try to program the board in MPLAB using ICD 2 as per the instructions it gives me a warning about disabling the FIFO buffers (which I have done). Then it gives me an errors stating that it can not connect to MPLAB ICD 2 (COM2). I have also tried using some of the tools that came with the MCHPFSUSB v2.4 toolkit but they also state they can not connect. Some of them state that the board needs to be in bootloader mode, but the instructions given (hold S2 and press S1 to restart) don't seem to work with my board. I have tried different combinations of S1, S2, and S3 but no luck.
Does anyone know if this board needs to be in the bootloader mode to be programmed (the user's manual is less than helpful)? If so, how do I put it in said mode? I have been banging my head on this for a day and a half, so I would greatly appreciate any help anyone can give me.
