Hi
I have rhydolabs 18F4550 Development board
This one
http://www.rhydolabz.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=99_101&products_id=297
It has RJ45 port mentioned in data sheet as ICD port.
Now I want to learn in-circuit debugging using MPLAB IDE and ccsc.
I have no idea how to connect this port to PC. I mean with which cable?
Please guide how to start with learning in-circuit debugging in pic. |

You can't connect the ICD port directly to a PC, you need a programming/debugging adapter.
The 6-pin modular (RJ12) connector has been defined by Microchip, it connects directly to an Microchip ICD 2 or ICD 3,
or e.g. a CCS ICD. The most economic Microchip in-circuit-debugger is a PICkit 2 or 3, but it uses a different connector,
you have to make an adapter cable to connect it to the ICD modular connector. |

And if I may cry specifics, neither jack is an RJ-anything.
A common misnomer is to use the RJ specification when that's really a telecom term because is specifies both the jack (more commonly referred to as modular) and the type of connections that are made to it.
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Registered_Jack
When someone says (RJ11) to me, I think of a PHONE jack. For Telephones which INCLUDES how the phone lines get wired.
When they say 6pin (or 6p4c or 6p2c) modular, then we get into the "ok, what are you hooking up to it."
The Microchip programming header is a 6p6c modular connector.
I'm just trying to break bad habits. (including mine from the past before I worked in telecom).
Cheers,
-Ben
