Chapter 2. Tutorial - PIC16CXXX
2.1 Introduction
After installing the MPLAB ICE hardware and MPLAB software, you may wish
to try this tutorial to get you started.
2.2 Highlights
This tutorial covers:
• Reviewing the Hardware
• Running MPLAB
• Setting Up the Development Mode
• Creating a Project
• Building a Project
• Using Software Break Points
• Using Named Software Break Points
• Using Hardware Break Points
• Using the Complex Trigger
• Using Code Coverage
• Going Forward
2.3 Reviewing the Hardware
The hardware setup used for this tutorial is listed below:
• PC LPT Port: LPT1, Bidirectional mode
• MPLAB ICE pod: MPLAB ICE 2000
• MPLAB ICE processor module: PCM16XE1
Although you may use an LPT port other than LPT1, it is preferable to use this
port if possible. Also, bi-directional mode is the preferred mode of operation,
although compatibility mode will work but will be slower.
The processor module for many mid-range PICmicro MCU’s is used in this
tutorial. The PIC16C74B is used as the example processor. However, other
PIC16CXXX processors could be used with minor modifications.
