Using the ICD-64 in the RapidUSB environment

[NB_CAD]

Is it possible to use the ICD-64 for debugging using the RapidUSB environment?

I find the RapidUSB the great environment for simple USB applications. I also appreciate the bootloader so that my projects can be updated in the field.

The limitation I have is debugging using USB serial. This form of debugging interferes with my project and most importantly when I have USB connection issues.

I've improved the reliability of connecting using the usb_enumerated() command but I still have occurrences when I have connection difficulties or I'm trying to debug the functionality prior to obtaining a USB connection.

a) Is it possible to get the bootloader code so that I can add it to my project and have it included with the code that I program with the ICD?

b) Can I have the ICD loader change only the code in the valid code area still be able to use the ICD to run, use breakpoints and stepping?
