ICD and code protection bit problem

[hayee]

Hi Everyone;
i am using pic16f870 and ccs c compiler (version 4.020).
when i enable ICD=true and set "protect" in fuses like(#fuses PROTECT,NOLVP,WDT) and program it through ICD, it program the IC but the IC is not code protected
But when i disable ICD=true and set "protect" in fuses like(#fuses PROTECT,NOLVP,WDT) and program the IC with programmer then the IC is code protected.
i wanna know that where is the problem occurs.
Thanks.

You can use the ICD as a debugger or as a programmer. You only have to set ICD=TRUE when using the ICD as a debugger.

A debugger does not work when the PROTECT fuse is set, that's why the fuse is disabled by the compiler.

i am using ICD as a programmer not as a debuger.so why this error is happening.

Since you are using the ICD as a programmer, do you have the
ICD=True in the code, or do you have it commented out?

my configuration is like that

My guess is that when you have
ICD=TRUE then the compilers thinks
In Circuit Debugger = TRUE; eg: your using the debugger.

Then it says.. Ohh he is using the debugger, so I can't set the protect fuse.

When you comment out the ICD=TRUE then everything works.
