Chapter 3. Developing an Application
The MPLAB Starter Kit for PIC18F may be used with MPLAB
development environment available on Microchip’s web site. MPLAB IDE allows the
starter kit to be used as an in-circuit debugger, as well as a programmer, for the
featured device.
In-circuit debugging allows you to run, examine and modify your program for the device
embedded in the starter kit hardware. This greatly assists you in debugging your
firmware and hardware together.
Special starter kit software interacts with the MPLAB IDE application to run, stop and
single step through programs. Breakpoints can be set and the processor can be reset.
Once the processor is stopped, the register’s contents can be examined and modified.
