ICD2 & PIC Start Plus Problem

[Code Warrior]

When I connect ICD2. MPLAB gives error messages like below.


Connecting to MPLAB ICD2
...Connected
ICDWarn0030: MPLAB ICD2 about to download a new operating system. If MPLAB IDE is just starting, it will appear to "hang" at the splash screen. Please be patient.
Downloading Operating System
ICD0152: Failed to read all of requested bytes (0x0 of 0x8)

ICD0082: Failed MPLAB ICD2 operation
ICD0082: Failed MPLAB ICD2 operation
ICD0082: Failed MPLAB ICD2 operation
MPLAB ICD2 ready for next operation

So is there hardware problem in ICD2 or firmware problem in ICD2. Can I do some thing my self. Please explain.






And when I connect PIC Start Plus programmer am getting this message.

This device requires firmware version 4.50.05 or higher.
This may require purchasing a PICSTART Plus upgrade kit.

I want to know full hardware change require or just bootloader. Exactly what?

Is the ICD2 successfully recognized before the system download begins?

It is difficult to say exactly what the issue is here, you may want to try powering the ICD2 externally rather than rely on the USB port for its power.

Earlier versions of the PIC Start Plus require a hardware upgrade to support later versions of the firmware and therefore be able to program more recent PICs.

PICSTART® Plus Flash Upgrade Module

This PICSTART Plus Flash Upgrade Module is a printed circuit board assembly containing a PIC18F6720 device. It permanently replaces the PIC17C44 inside the PICSTART Plus. Once installed, the firmware is upgradeable using MPLAB IDE. All future upgrades will no longer require the opening of the enclosure to upgrade the PICSTART Plus firmware.

IMPORTANT: PICSTART Plus units with hardware revision of R20 or later already have this feature and do not require this kit.

This upgrade kit supersedes UK003007 and UK003006.

Before You Begin

You can only use this upgrade with MPLAB IDE v6.40 or later, PICSTART Plus hardware revision must be Rev 5 or later. MPLAB IDE is downloadable from this web site. The hardware revision of the PICSTART Plus is the last digit(s), immediately following "-R", of the serial number on the bottom of the plastic product enclosure port.
