1.2.2 Standard Debug Features
For information on standard debug features, see the user’s guide or online help file for
your hardware debug tool:
• PICkit 3™ in-circuit debugger
• MPLAB ICD 3 in-circuit debugger
• MPLAB REAL ICE™ in-circuit emulator
Also see the Processor Extension Pak and Debug Header Specification (DS51292).
1.3 PROGRAMMING NOTES
The emulation header is designed to be used with the in-circuit emulator in debugger
mode, D
ebug>Debug Project (not in programmer mode, Run>Run Project) in MPLAB
X IDE. Any programming of the special -ME2 device on the header is for debug pur-
poses.
To program production (non-special) devices with your debug tool, use the Universal
Programming Module (AC162049) or design a modular interface connector on the
target. See the appropriate specification for connections. For the most up-to-date
device programming specifications, see the Microchip website www.microchip.com
.
Also, production devices can be programmed with the following tools:
• MPLAB PM3 device programmer
• PICkit 3 development programmer
• MPLAB ICD 3 in-circuit debugger (select as a programmer)
• MPLAB REAL ICE in-circuit emulator (select as a programmer)
