The MPLAB IDE is the host software for the ICEPIC In-Circuit Emulator. It
functions as a sophisticated debugging tool, providing access to RAM, ROM,
EEPROM and a variety of other debug functions.
MPLAB IDE Project Features
Developing and debugging code in the MPLAB IDE is based on projects.
Although emulation can be performed without having a project open, projects
have the following advantages:
Some of the information that is retained with a project is:
Creating a Project
Select Project > New Project to create a project and open the Edit Project
dialog. The project will contain information about your source, object and
other files, as well as a variety of important project settings.
Note:
Note:
• Single or multiple source files can be easily built and maintained.
• Symbolic debugging is available.
• The debugging environment can be saved for later use.
• Development mode and processor
• Source files associated with the project
• Name of the final PICmicro MCU executable file
• Open windows and their sizes and positions
• Named break settings
• Configuration bit setting
If you do not put your source files into a project, the MPLAB IDE
cannot debug properly.
The CONFIG bit set in your source code is not applied to the sys-
tem under emulation. Use the Development Mode dialog (Options
> Development Mode > Configuration Tab) to set them.
