24.7 MPLAB ICE 2000
High-Performance
In-Circuit Emulator
The MPLAB ICE 2000 In-Circuit Emulator is intended
to provide the product development engineer with a
complete microcontroller design tool set for PIC
microcontrollers. Software control of the MPLAB ICE
2000 In-Circuit Emulator is advanced by the MPLAB
Integrated Development Environment, which allows
editing, building, downloading and source debugging
from a single environment.
The MPLAB ICE 2000 is a full-featured emulator
system with enhanced trace, trigger and data
monitoring features. Interchangeable processor
modules allow the system to be easily reconfigured for
emulation of different processors. The architecture of
the MPLAB ICE 2000 In-Circuit Emulator allows
expansion to support new PIC microcontrollers.
The MPLAB ICE 2000 In-Circuit Emulator system has
been designed as a real-time emulation system with
advanced features that are typically found on more
expensive development tools. The PC platform and
Microsoft
®
Windows
®
32-bit operating system were
chosen to best make these features available in a
simple, unified application.
24.8 MPLAB REAL ICE In-Circuit
Emulator System
MPLAB REAL ICE In-Circuit Emulator System is
Microchip’s next generation high-speed emulator for
Microchip Flash DSC and MCU devices. It debugs and
programs PIC
®
Flash MCUs and dsPIC
®
Flash DSCs
with the easy-to-use, powerful graphical user interface of
the MPLAB Integrated Development Environment (IDE),
included with each kit.
The MPLAB REAL ICE probe is connected to the design
engineer’s PC using a high-speed USB 2.0 interface and
is connected to the target with either a connector
compatible with the popular MPLAB ICD 2 system
(RJ11) or with the new high-speed, noise tolerant,
Low-Voltage Differential Signal (LVDS) interconnection
(CAT5).
MPLAB REAL ICE is field upgradeable through future
firmware downloads in MPLAB IDE. In upcoming
releases of MPLAB IDE, new devices will be
supported, and new features will be added, such as
software breakpoints and assembly code trace.
MPLAB REAL ICE offers significant advantages over
competitive emulators including low-cost, full-speed
emulation, real-time variable watches, trace analysis,
complex breakpoints, a ruggedized probe interface and
long (up to three meters) interconnection cables.
24.9 MPLAB ICD 2 In-Circuit Debugger
Microchip’s In-Circuit Debugger, MPLAB ICD 2, is a
powerful, low-cost, run-time development tool,
connecting to the host PC via an RS-232 or high-speed
USB interface. This tool is based on the Flash PIC
MCUs and can be used to develop for these and other
PIC MCUs and dsPIC DSCs. The MPLAB ICD 2 utilizes
the in-circuit debugging capability built into the Flash
devices. This feature, along with Microchip’s In-Circuit
Serial Programming
TM
(ICSP
TM
) protocol, offers
cost-effective, in-circuit Flash debugging from the
graphical user interface of the MPLAB Integrated
Development Environment. This enables a designer to
develop and debug source code by setting breakpoints,
single stepping and watching variables, and CPU
status and peripheral registers. Running at full speed
enables testing hardware and applications in real
time. MPLAB ICD 2 also serves as a development
programmer for selected PIC devices.
24.10 MPLAB PM3 Device Programmer
The MPLAB PM3 Device Programmer is a universal,
CE compliant device programmer with programmable
voltage verification at V
DDMIN and VDDMAX for
maximum reliability. It features a large LCD display
(128 x 64) for menus and error messages and a
modular, detachable socket assembly to support
various package types. The ICSP cable assembly is
included as a standard item. In Stand-Alone mode, the
MPLAB PM3 Device Programmer can read, verify and
program PIC devices without a PC connection. It can
also set code protection in this mode. The MPLAB PM3
connects to the host PC via an RS-232 or USB cable.
The MPLAB PM3 has high-speed communications and
optimized algorithms for quick programming of large
memory devices and incorporates an SD/MMC card for
file storage and secure data applications.
