help with using other debugger tools
PostPosted: Tue Jul 14, 2009 1:55 pm     Reply with quote
How do you use a Microchip debugging tool (real ice, icd 2, etc) with CCS? I found the page on CCS's FAQ and I have downloaded and installed the plugin but I am lost on what to do after that point.

I do have MPLAB installed, version 8.3.
My CCS version is 4.082

You operate the compiler in commandline mode from the MPLAB environment...

Then make sure to add

Code:

#device ICD=TRUE


(and possibly the #fuse DEBUG, but I never use it and it works fine)

and then use the DEBUGGER selected to ICD2.

This is my normal running environment.

MPLAB w/PCWHD and ICD2 and ICD3

Cheers,

-Ben

This thread has detailed instructions for using ICD2 in MPLAB with CCS.
It tells how to step through code and to use a Watch window for variables:
http://www.ccsinfo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=23151
That's for MPLAB and the CCS command line compilers.

Do you want to use the ICD2 from within the CCS IDE ?
If so, see this FAQ article:

Good Links.

Honestly, I never had a problem like so many have seemed to running MPLAB w/CCS and a PICstartPLUS (not a debugger, I know), PICkit2, ICD2 or (now ICD3).

Just read through the docs and learn the environment (and find the bugs! ahhaha) and everything works fine.
