PROGRAMMING THE DEBUGGED APPLICATION
CREATING OTHER APPLICATIONS
DETERMINING DEVICE SUPPORT AND RESERVED RESOURCES
DEBUG VERSION INFORMATION
When the program is successfully debugged and running, the next step is to program
the device for stand-alone operation in the finished design. When doing this, the
resources reserved for debug are released for use by the application. To program the
application, use the following steps:
1. Disable starter kits as a debug tool by selecting Debugger>Select Tool>None.
2. Select starter kits as the programmer in the Programmer>Select Programmer
3. Select Programmer>Program.
Now the starter kit will run independently.
This starter kit is just one way to use Microchip PIC24F microcontrollers in an
application. Other tools and resources exist to support these devices.
• PIC24 Demo Boards: Several boards, such as the Explorer 16 Starter Kit, are
• MPLAB C30 C Compiler, Full Version: More optimization options than the student
• Application Notes: Libraries and example applications with source code for using
For more information on demo boards on application notes, see the design center at
the Microchip web site (www.microchip.com). For additional information on the full
version of the MPLAB C30 Compiler, go to http://www.microchip.com/c30.
Due to the built-in in-circuit debugging capability of ICD devices and the In-Circuit Serial
Programming™ (ICSP™) function offered by the debugger, the starter kit uses some
on-chip resources when debugging. It also uses program memory and file register
locations in the target device during debugging. These locations are not available for
use by user code. In the MPLAB IDE, registers marked with an “R” in register displays
represent reserved registers.
For information on device resources that are needed for in-circuit debugging, please
refer to the MPLAB ICD 2 Help, found in the MPLAB IDE under Help>Topics. The
device reserved resource information found under “Resources Used By MPLAB ICD 2”
is the same for the starter kit.
Selecting either Debugger>Settings or Programmer Settings from the menu bar opens
the Starter Kit Settings dialog. Currently, there is only one (Info) tab on this dialog,
displaying the following information:
• Firmware Version: The version of firmware on the starter kit board.
• Debug Exec Version: The version of the debug executive that is loaded into the
