B.8 LIMITATIONS
B.8.1 General Limitations
• View the “Readme for MPLAB PM3.txt” file for a list of currently supported
devices.
• Program memory ranges that are not code-protected may only be changed from a
‘1’ to a ‘0’. Most devices need to be erased before they can be reprogrammed.
DataEE does not need to be erased before it is programmed; however, it is
programmed one location at a time. For more information, consult the specific
programming specification for your device.
• Some devices program multiple locations at once. MPLAB PM3 therefore inhibits
programming ranges not aligned to these bounds. See individual programming
specifications for more information.
B.8.2 Device-Specific Limitations
In addition to the general limitations listed above, some PICmicro MCUs may have
device-specific limitations. Select the device family limitations listed below, or search
for your device in the index.
B.8.2.1 MPLAB PM3 LIMITATIONS FOR PIC18C601/801
• Your own memory read/write routines must be used for these ROMless devices.
B.8.2.2 MPLAB PM3 LIMITATIONS FOR ALL DEVICES
• For ICSP you must connect the AV
DD and AVSS pins in addition to the VDD and
V
SS pins for the device to program.
