ICD2 Microchip

Hello,

I have used CCS compiler to write my program and now I need an ICD to debug it. I have the ICD2 of Microchip.

Can I use my ICD2 of Microchip to do it or I have to get CCSs ICD?

Yes you can.

You must integrate CCS into MPLAB, and you can use your ICD2 normally.
You dont have to use the "#DEFINE ICD TRUE" (I dont remember the exact spelling) statement in your source code, but only the checkbox somewhere in the compiler options.

My only connector to the PIC18 is a FCI Female Connector.

Datasheet:
FCI part number 91931-31121

Can I use ICD2 of Microchip through this connector?

Thanks.

I think you'll have to build your own cable, as the ICD2, if I remember, uses an RJ11 cable like the ICDU-40.

You must use your own connector.
If you want a more cheap connector, put on your PCB a pin array male and do an adaptor for ICD2, RJ11 to pin array female...
I do it alwais, is more cheap Smile

Don�t forget put the statement:

#device ICD TRUE on your progam
