ICD 2, how to use it as DEBUGGER

[mrcube_ns]

I bought ICD2 LE.

It works nice as programmer .

Is there any manual or instructions how to use it as debugger, to see values of variables in code, with breakpoints and similar.


Thanks in advance.

From MPLAB choose the Debug/ICD2 tool. You can VIEW watch variables and double click to set a breakpoint.

Also, if you're working with C some compiler should be set to use ICD debugging feature, usually this is a check that you've to set into the compiler option. Attached a screen shot example for the Hi-Tech PICC compiler, you've to set the flag in order to debug correctly the code, for production simply remove the flag and rebuild the project.
