tab.

FIGURE 4-9: EMULATOR PROGRAM MEMORY TAB

Here you may allow the emulator to automatically choose the programming ranges

(recommended) or you may select ranges manually.

• The “Memories” section should have “Program” checked, and “EEPROM” and

“ID” unchecked. When using the MPLAB REAL ICE in-circuit emulator as a

debugger, Configuration bits will always be programmed and the “Configuration”

box will be checked and grayed out.

• For the PIC24FJ devices, all memory will be erased each time the chip is

programmed. Therefore, in the “Program Options” section, “Erase all before

Program” will have no effect.

• The “Program Memory” addresses (“Start” and “End” address) set the range of

program memory that will be read, programmed or verified.

When debugging code, you will frequently repeat the edit, rebuild, reprogram and run

sequence. To automate this, there are checkboxes “Program after successful build”

and “Run after successful program”. Leave these unchecked for now.
