SETTING UP AN EXAMPLE APPLICATION FOR DEBUG
The MPLAB IDE software that is installed on your PC by the starter kit CD-ROM auto-
matically opens an example application that you may use to examine debug features
of the starter kit. To prepare the application for debug:
1. Launch MPLAB IDE. The example application project and related workspace will
2. Select Project>Build All to build the application code. The build’s progress will be

kit debug features (Figure 4-1):
(1) the status bar will show Starter Kits as the debug tool
(2) a Starter Kit debug toolbar will be added
(3) the Debugger menu will change to add Starter Kit debug functions
(4) the Output window will display communication status between MPLAB IDE
and the starter kit on the Starter Kit Debugger tab.
Also, several device resources are used for debug. For details, see

Debug executive code is automatically programmed in the upper program
memory of the starter kit device when the starter kit is selected as a debug-
ger. Debug code must be programmed into the target device to use the
in-circuit debugging capabilities of the starter kit.
