3.5 DEBUGGING THE CODE

The MPLAB ICD 2 In-Circuit Debugger can be used to run, halt, and step the code. A

breakpoint can be set to halt the program after the code has executed the instruction

at the breakpoint. The contents of the RAM and registers can be viewed whenever the

processor has been halted.

The MPLAB ICD 2 In-Circuit Debugger uses the following function keys to access the

main debugging functions:

•<F5> – Halt

•<F6> – Reset

• <F7> – Single Step

•<F9> – Run

In addition to these, there are more functions accessible by right clicking on a line of

source code. The most important of these are “Set Breakpoint” and “Run to Cursor”.
