Debugger for PIC24EP512GU814

[anboli]

Hi,

I'm using PICKIT3 Programmer tool for my Controller. Whether i can use as a debugger tool for this controller? if yes means tell me how to configure or else suggest me for some other debugger tool. Kindly help me. Thank you.

Yes, both Microchip MPLAB, MPLAB X and available documentation indicate the PICkit 3 can be used to debug the PIC24EP512GU814.

Simply select the PICkit 3 as a debugger instead of a programmer, assuming there are no conflicting connections to the required lines.

Ensure the project is configured as Debug, not release, and recompile.

Once debugging mode has been entered, breakpoints should be able to be set, storage added to the watch windows, step through the code, etc.

When i tried to debug using pic kit 3 in MPLAB ide 8.92, it throws the below errors:

Resetting...
PK3Err0040: The target device is not ready for debugging.
Please check your configuration bit settings and program
the device before proceeding.

I have the configuration bits as follows...
