MPLAB ICD 2 power configuration

[RossJ]

Does anyone know how to set the MPLAB ICD 2 power options? My target system uses the PIC18LF2620 + ENC280J60 combination and thus runs at 3.3V. So I must make sure the ICD 2 is NOT set to provide power (5V) to the target system. I have not found an option to control this, so I don't even know what the default is.

One unrelated question... When the #device debug=true option is added, are the reserved resources the same for CCS's ICD and MPLAB ICD 2? If not, how can the compiler tell which resources to reserve? I had to remove a #reserve directive since it was incompatible with the debug=true option. So at least there is a partial overlap.

/Cheers, Ross.

Under my mplab 7.40 it is under
programmer/settings/power/ power target checkbox

It may run at 3.3V but check if the chip is programmable at 3.3V. or MUST it be 5V
then check if 5V on vpp/mclr will feed into a 3.3V area

This may help

Does anyone have first hand experience with this setup?

Thanks treitmey for your response. I am already using the ICD2 under the MPLAB IDE and the debugger/programmer is fine. And yes, the settings you describe are the ones I have configured to control the target power.

I am now trying to use the recently added ICD2 support under the CCS C IDE. It is in this IDE that I cannot see how to control such things as target power. I could go to MPLAB and adjust the settings there and come back to CCS IDE, but I assume the debugger settings are stored in the MPLAB project files and not on a global basis. So this probably wouldn't work.

I put this question to CCS and received the following response.
