4.16 OTHER TRACE METHODS – PIC32 INSTRUCTION TRACE

PIC32 Instruction Trace is only available for PIC32MX MCU devices, and it is the only

type of trace available for these devices. Also, only some PIC32MX MCU devices have

the trace feature. Consult the device data sheet for details.

For example code and additional supporting hardware, refer to the Microchip website

(www.microchip.com).

To use this trace, you will need:

• PIC32MX Plug-In Module (PIM) containing a device that supports trace and a

trace port

• PIC32MX Trace Interface Kit (AC244006) containing a 12-inch trace cable and a

trace adapter board

The PIC32MX360F512L PIM (MA320001) will plug into an Explorer 16 board. Follow

the instructions specified in Section 8.3.2 “Setting Up and Using Trace”.

Once the hardware is connected, you enable trace through the Debugger>Settings

Trace tab (Figure 4-24). Trace data will appear in the Trace window (Figure 4-25).

For more information, see Section 8.3 “PIC32 Instruction Trace”.
