Step Into F7
Single step through program code.
For assembly code, this command executes one instruction (single or multiple cycle
instructions) and then halts. After execution of one instruction, all the windows are
updated.
For C code, this command executes one line of C code, which may mean the execution
of one or more assembly instruction, and then halts. After execution, all the windows
are updated.
Step Over F8
Execute the instruction at the current program counter location. At a CALL instruction,
Step Over executes the called subroutine and halts at the address following the CALL.
If the Step Over is too long or appears to “hang”, click Halt.
Step Out
Not available.
Reset F6
Issue a Reset sequence to the target processor. This issues a MCLR
to reset the
program counter to the Reset vector.
Breakpoints
Open the Breakpoint dialog (see Section 11.3.1 Breakpoints Dialog”). Set multiple
breakpoints in this dialog.
Triggers
Set up real-time data capture triggers (see Section 11.3.7 “Triggers Dialog”).
Program
Download your code to the target device.
Read
Read target memory. Information uploaded to MPLAB IDE.
Erase Flash Device
Erase all Flash memory.
Abort Operation
Abort any programming operation (e.g., program, read, etc.) Terminating an operation
will leave the device in an unknown state.
Reconnect
Attempt to re-establish communications between the PC and the MPLAB REAL ICE
in-circuit emulator. The progress of this connection is shown on the REAL ICE tab of
the Output dialog.
Settings
Open the Programmer dialog (see Section 11.5 Settings Dialog”). Set up program
and firmware options.
Note: Do not step into a SLEEP instruction.
Note: You may also right click or double click on a line of code to set a simple
