INTRODUCTION
HIGHLIGHTS
STARTING AND STOPPING EMULATION
MPLAB ICE 4000 provides a wide variety of tools to emulate and debug an application.
MPLAB ICE 4000 offers a basic set of in-circuit debugging tools, including the ability to
run, halt, reset and single step the processor, plus additional tools for advanced
debugging techniques.
Several basic MPLAB ICE 4000 emulator features are built-in to the MPLAB IDE
software. A general description of these features is provided here, but for more detailed
information, consult the MPLAB IDE documentation.
Other basic tools appear when MPLAB ICE 4000 is selected as the debug tool.
MPLAB ICE 4000 basic features include the following:
• Starting and Stopping Emulation
• Viewing Processor Memory and Files
• Using Software Breakpoints
• Using Hardware Breakpoints
• Using Trigger In/Out Settings
• Using a Real-Time Watch
• Using the Stopwatch
• Monitoring Emulator States and Operations
To debug an application in MPLAB IDE, you must either build your source code into an
executable file using projects and work spaces (see MPLAB IDE on-line help for more
information) or you must import an existing executable file using File>Import. Once you
have your application in executable form, you may run, halt, step through or reset your
code.
• To run your code, select either Debugger>Run or Run from the Debug toolbar.
• To halt your code, select either Debugger>Halt or Halt from the Debug toolbar.
• To step through your code, select either Debugger>Step Into or Step Into from
• To step over a line of code, select either Debugger>Step Over or Step Over from
• To repeatedly step through your code, select either Debugger>Animate or
the Debug toolbar. Be careful not to step into a Sleep instruction or you will have
to perform a processor reset to resume emulation.
