Can not start target PIC16F690

[kender]

Colleagues,

I can't start my PIC16F690. I'm getting the following message: "Could not start target: The target was not halted after reset. Check target oscillator and MCLR. Make sure the target clock match the clock fuse and that the target is oscillating. Use View | Valid fuses to find the correct clock fuse."

I've checked the hardware. Vcc is +3.3V. MCLR is pulled up to Vcc and it exibits normal behavior during programming. My external oscillator is oscillating (12.288MHz), and it's connected to pin 2.

Here are the fuses:

Even if you had a modern version of the compiler, and the special -ICD
version of the chip, CCS still doesn't support debugging that PIC at
+3.3v. See the entry for 16F690 on this page:

Take a look at the datasheet for the 16F690...that part does not have a debug module in it. You can serial program it, but that's it.

Here is a clip from the 16F872 datasheet. Notice the third point:

• In-Circuit Serial Programming™ (ICSP™) via two
pins
• Single 5V In-Circuit Serial Programming capability
• In-Circuit Debugging via two pins

Now from the 16F690:

• In-Circuit Serial ProgrammingTM (ICSPTM) via two
pins

Also can be seen in the special features section of the datasheets.

You need to use a smarter PIC if you want the debug function. That chip just recently got me too. I figured that one out after I had already designed it in.

I fell for it aswell.

The dev board Microchip have which offer's the Debug has some strange behaviour's too.

If you can use something else with debug ability do it.
