    Chapter 2. Operation INTRODUCTION A simplified theory of operation of the MPLAB ICD 4 In-Circuit Debugger system is provided here. It is intended to provide enough information so that a target board can be designed that is compatible with the debugger for both debugging and programming operations.

  • Page 18: Debugger To Target Communication

    The debugger is connected to the target application for communication and data collection. Refer to Section B.5.1 “Connecting an RJ-11 Type Cable to an RJ-45 Socket on MPLAB ICD 4 In-Circuit Debugger” for pinout information. The power supply (not included) is connected either to the target application (preferred method) or the debugger to provide power to the target.

  • Page 20: Target Communication Connections

    2.3.1 Standard Communication Target Connection Using the RJ-11 connector, the MPLAB ICD 4 In-Circuit Debugger is connected to the target device with the modular interface (six conductor) cable. The pin numbering for the connector is shown from the bottom of the target PCB in Figure 2-3.
  • Page 21 EXTERNALLY POWERED THROUGH DEBUGGER An alternative method of powering the target device is an external power supply connected directly to the MPLAB ICD 4. Be aware that you must also select power from the MPLAB ICD 4 debugger via MPLAB X IDE.

  • Page 22: Debugging

    DEBUGGING There are two steps to using the MPLAB ICD 4 In-Circuit Debugger system as a debugger. The first requires that an application is programmed into the target device (MPLAB ICD 4 can be used for this). The second uses the internal in-circuit debug hardware of the target Flash device to run and test the application program.

    3. Connect power to target or debugger. Note: In MPLAB X IDE, you can select the source from which to power the target. In order to power the target from the MPLAB ICD 4 debugger, the power supply must be connected to the debugger.

  • Page 30: Setting Up The Target Board

    An external power supply, Part Number AC002014, can be purchased from Microchip Direct (www.microchipdirect.com). If you have not already done so, connect the MPLAB ICD 4 to the target board using the appropriate cables (see Section 3.6 “Connecting the Target Board”).
