Debugging the Code

The MPLAB ICD 2 In-Circuit Debugger can be used to run, halt and step the code. A

breakpoint can be set to halt the program after the code has executed the instruction

at the breakpoint. The contents of the RAM and registers can be viewed whenever the

processor has been halted.

The MPLAB ICD 2 In-Circuit Debugger uses the following function keys to access the

main debugging functions:

<F5>

Halt

<F6>

Reset

<F7>

Single Step

<F9>

Run

In addition, there are more functions available by right clicking on a line of source code.

These functions include the ability to set simple and advanced breakpoints.

SUMMARY

This chapter has provided a suggested process for using the dsPICDEM™ 2

Development Board to jump start your own application. If you have reviewed this

process, you should be able to:

• Configure the dsPICDEM™ 2 Development Board for the dsPIC30F device you

select for your application.

• Set up MPLAB IDE to use the MPLAB ICD 2 In-Circuit Debugger.

• Locate the sample application for your dsPIC30F device.

• Program the chip with the MPLAB ICD 2.

• View the code execution in program memory and source code.

• Reset, Run, Halt and Single-Step the code.
