Microchip Technology MPLAB REAL ICE In-Circuit Emulator Manual

2. Connect the PIC32MX Trace Interface hardware (AC244006 – sold
separately) as shown on the back of these instructions. Your PIC32MX
PIM must contain a device that supports trace in order to use trace. See
the device data sheet for details.
3. Power the target board.
Note: The emulator cannot power the target.
Software Setup
1. Launch MPLAB IDE.
2. Find currently-supported devices in the release notes: Help>Release
Notes>MPLAB REAL ICE Emulator Release Notes.
3. Select your device: Configure>Select Device.
4. Select the MPLAB REAL ICE in-circuit emulator as a debugger
(Debugger>Select Tool>REAL ICE) or as a programmer
(Programmer >Select Programmer>REAL ICE).
5. When using the emulator as a debugger, select “Debug” on the
toolbar:
Emulator Usage
1. You can enable trace through Debugger/Programmer>Settings,
Trace tab, check “Enable Trace”. However, other debug functions may
be impacted. For more information, please see the “MPLAB®REAL
ICE™In-Circuit Emulator User’s Guide” (DS51616) or on-line help (from
MPLAB IDE select
Help>Topics>Debuggers>MPLAB REAL ICE).
2. To verify that the emulator is functioning properly, use the loop-back test
described on the back of these instructions.

MPLAB®REAL ICE™ In-Circuit Emulator Setup
Driver and Software Installation
CAUTION: Do not connect the hardware before installing the software. See
instructions below.
1. Install the MPLAB®IDE v8.00 or later software application on your PC
from either the CD-ROM or Microchip web site. This and later versions
include support for PIC32MX devices on the MPLAB REAL ICE™ in-
circuit emulator system .
2. Insert a driver board into the emulator pod, but do not connect to a target
board. Connect the emulator pod to your PC via a USB cable. Follow the
“Found New Hardware Wizard” to install the drivers (software)
automatically. For more information, detailed driver installation
instructions are available in the MPLAB IDE installation directory in:
REAL ICE\Drivers\ddri.htm
Hardware Setup
CAUTION: If you need to change the driver board, remove power (USB
connection) from the pod first
.
1. Connect the emulator pod to your unpowered target as shown in one of
the two communication diagrams on the back of these instructions.

Loop-Back Test
To verify that the emulator is function-
ing properly, use the loop-back test
board. Disconnect the emulator from
the target and PC, plug in the stan-
dard driver board and loop-back test
board as shown, reconnect the emu-
lator to the PC, and select the emula-
tor as in “Software Setup”, Step 3, on
the front of these instructions to
automatically run the loop-back test.
