MPLAB 6.30 - ICD2 - CCS 1.667

Aryldo G Russo Jr · Guest

Hi all,

I'm getting the following error:

Connecting to MPLAB ICD 2
...Connected
Setting Vdd source to MPLAB ICD 2
Target Device PIC18F248 found, revision = 0x4
...Reading ICD Product ID
Running ICD Self Test

Verifying...
...Program Memory

...Programming Configuration Bits
.. Config Memory
ICD0083: Target not in debug mode, unable to perform operation
MPLAB ICD 2 Ready

I can not put my processor in debug mode (I'm using a PIC18F248).

I have checked the power supply, and the other things in help file but it's still not working.

I tried a dumb ASM program, and worked OK. does anyone know anything about it?

Thanks

Aryldo

<font face="Courier New" size=-1>Look in MPLAB under "build options" in the Program menu, and you'll go to project. There under the compiler options" there's a checkbox for "compile for use with ICD" check it! and recompile.

You can also add DEBUG to your list in the #fuses statement in your C code</font>

Hi,

I have already done it but still didn't work. I tried to create a dumb program in C, like

#include <18F248.h>

main()
{

}

and didn't work as well

thanks
Aryldo

Check in Pcw IDE under Options > file formats > Debug file and make sure you check the appropriate option. In Mplab same thing make sure in; Projects > Build options > Project > Ccs C Compiler > debug you have the correct option checked.

I've got an ICD2 sitting on my lab bench that
won't reset to address 0. You shouldn't throw
out the possibility of having a bad unit.

You are not alone...
I have been experiencing the same problem with MPLAB 6.30-ICD2-CCS PCM 3.169, 20Mhz 16F877.
ICD2 will program OK. Debugging is the problem.
I suspect it to be hardware related.
-On a 4Mhz RC osc ICD demo board it works, debugging either both a simple C and Assembler programs.
-On my target 20mhz board, debugging would not work at all, kept getting the message ICD0083: Target not in debug mode, unable to perform operation.
-Changed the 20mhz xtal to 4mhz. It looks like it's going to work... no error mnessages... but debug still not right. Will run to a breakpoint, but with no breakpoint a steady "Run" just hangs.
Could this be an issue relating to the start up time of the xtal being too long for ICD2's liking??
With my original ICD and MPLAB 5.7 debugging works fine.

I had what seemed to be a similar problem. To solve it I changed the ICD into programmer mode erased the device then started again with the debugger.

I can finally get the icd2 to work properly.

if it will program the device,
check if the crystal is running.
check vdd vss on the chip itself. there may be a bad connection.
is the powersupply dropping out.

if all tests ok the problem may be too much capacitance on your board, like a proto board will cause this. it is really fussy about this. i now modified my icds -20 with a socket for the crystal to change it slow it down and then it works. CCS and Microchip are trying to get maximum performance out of there debuggers, that they should have the option to slow it down, when in envoroments when warrant this. it would make solve the icd not in debug mode a lot less frequent.

I battled with this problem all day, until I finally decided to shorten the phone cable from the ICD2 hockey puck to the board. It was originally 7 feet long, now it is 6 inches. This seems to have solved the problem, although I still can't figure out why the XTAL bits keep switching to RC from HS.
