I learned that rev 3 is needed to debug EP chips.
I have rev2 according to the silk screen.
1) How do you upgrade rev2 to rev3?
2)If you do upgrade is it backwards compatible...will the upgrade impact the functionality of rev 2 in a negative way?

I just had one of mine upgraded.
It costs $25 and you have to send it back to CCS to be upgraded.
Call them for an RMA number before you ship! _________________ Google and Forum Search are some of your best tools!!!!

Do they simply swap the board? My Rev 3 board has more components than my Rev 2.

So can we assume the rev 3 upgrade will program and debug any chip rev2 can program and debug plus rev3 has support for EP chips.
How long is the turn around for CCS to do the $25 upgrade?

The rev 3 upgrade appears to be backward compatible. I have used it on
PIC33/PIC30/PIC24EP/24FJ/24HJ/PIC18 and PIC16 and it has worked with no
problems for every chip I have tried including the enhanced 16 series..
It only took them about two working days to perform the upgrade.
The biggest issue I encountered was that I shipped the unit by US First Class
mail with Delivery Confirmation and it arrived there within 3 days but they
shipped it back UPS and it took over a week and cost almost twice as much. _________________ Google and Forum Search are some of your best tools!!!!
