DETERMINING DAMAGE
A damaged header will cause MPLAB IDE to report a device ID of 0. However, there
are other issues that can cause the device ID to report as 0. Please consult your debug
tool documentation on troubleshooting to identify the problem. If you believe you have
a damaged header, please contact Microchip technical support at
http://support.microchip.com.
Header Limitations
See the “Limitations” section in your debug tool online Help file for details.
Header Dimensions
The figure below lists the dimensions for the debug header. Dimensions are design
values in inches.
If the length and/or width of the debug header is too large a footprint for the target
board, consider using stand-offs, transition sockets or other extenders in the header
connection socket to raise the header above the target.
