Win Vista
Follow these instructions to install USB device drivers for Windows Vista:
If you have any problems getting these drivers to work with the emulator, do the following:
1. Go to Start>Control Panel>System>Device Manager.
2. In the Device Manager window, click on the "+" next to "Microchip Tools".
3. Right-click on the "Microchip MPLAB ICE 2000" entry and select "Uninstall".
4. On the Uninstall dialog, check the "Delete the driver software for this device" checkbox.
5. Unplug the emulator USB connector, and then reconnect it.
6. Once the drivers are uninstalled, follow the driver installation instructions in the first part of this section to install the correct drivers.
When a stack full condition is met, a warning box (if enabled) will pop up, informing the user that a stack full has occurred. This box will pop up after every single step or run operation thereafter until the user either 1) performs an ICE hardware re-initialization or 2) manually writes to the STKPTR register (location 0xFFC for PIC18XXX devices), clearing the error bits. This behavior follows the device spec sheet.
Likewise with the stack underflow, a warning box (if enabled) will pop up, informing the user that a stack underflow has occurred. This box will pop up after every single step or run operation thereafter until the user either 1) performs an ICE hardware re-initialization or 2) manually writes to the STKPTR register (location 0xFFC for PIC18XXX devices), clearing the error bits. This behavior follows the device spec sheet.
NOTE: Some stack overflow/underflow conditions occur whenever the emulator chip in the PCM looses its clock. This is a known issue with stack over/underflow reporting that comes from the debugger and may not be related to your code.
The following is a list of known problems. For information on common problems, error messages and limitations, please see Troubleshooting in the online help file for MPLAB ICE 2000 (hlpMPLABICE2k.chm).
· Single stepping may be very slow when using a debugger if your selected device has EEPROM data and (1) you have a programmer enabled or (2) you have the EEPROM window open, either of which will attempt to access the data on each step. To improve speed, disable the programmer or close/minimize the EEPROM window.
· If you cannot set a breakpoint, check the length of your path. In MPLAB IDE, there is a COD file limitation on path/filename length. See on-line help for MPLAB IDE for this limitation.
· If you use the USB Converter for communications between the ICE and your PC, you will not be able to use Verify.
SSR 5511: Windows 2000: MPLAB ICE 2000 does not work with the Compatibility Mode LPT port setting. To change the port setting in your PC's BIOS, enter the BIOS setup when you power on your computer. Follow the instructions on your screen to find the advanced or communications settings. Set the compatibility mode for the MPLAB ICE 2000 LPT port to ECP or bidirectional.
SSR 26822: Windows 98 SE: Trace to Source window does not show source.
SSR 24010: For COD file only generation - code coverage report incorrectly identifies 2nd word of a two-word instruction as a table access. Work-around is to generate a COFF file.
SSR 27097: Self-test (Verify) does not work when using Parallel-to-USB converter.
I2K-44: After a Verify, you may receive the message: MPLAB ICE 2000 Trigger - Data memory address symbol not found or may be out-of-scope. This is caused by the complex triggers not being cleared. To keep this message from appearing, bring up the complex trigger dialog box and do a Clear All first (and then OK) before performing a Verify.
SSR 16091: PCM16XS1, PIC16F76/77 - Common RAM not correct; there may be a firmware issue with the processor module. This only affects the emulation of the PICF16F77/F76 devices. Specifically, the register file map on these devices will reflect the PIC16F74/F73 register file map. Therefore, RAM will not exist in locations 0x110 to 0x120 and locations 0x190 to 0x1A0. Also, locations 0x120 to 0x17F and 0x1A0 to 0x1FF will mirror locations 0x20 to 0x7F and 0xA0 to 0xFF, respectively. In addition, F0 to FF will be GPR and will not access 70 to 7F.
If you experience these problems, contact your local field rep or corporate support for a replacement (SAR).
SSR 18648: PCM16XWO - Program memory reads don’t work.
SSR 19722: PCM16XS2 port B interrupt on change may not be emulated correctly. If a change occurs on a non-interrupt Port B pin 86 to 100 ns before a Port B interrupt on change occurs, the interrupt may not happen.
SSR 24938: PCM16XA0, PIC16F505 - EC mode is not supported.
SSR 22664: PCM18XE1 - Emulator chip always in microprocessor mode. This means CCP2 pin capture on RB3, not RE7, and PSP not available. Contact your local field rep or corporate support for a replacement (SAR).
SSR 22812: PCM18XK0 - If you have set "Freeze peripherals on halt" and then attempt to step through code, the RG5 pin will not toggle in I/O mode and the MCLR pin will not reset in MCLR mode. The pins function when the program is running. This is an emulator-only issue.
SSR 27835: PCM18XN0/Q0/S0 - Clearing memory location 0xCE in any bank will clear TMR1H. For PCM18XP0: Clearing memory location 0xCE in banks 3, 7, and B will clear TMR1H.
SSR 29528: PCM18XL0 - Fails self test.
The rfPIC12F675F/H/K devices contain a PIC12F675 die bonded to a UHF ASK/FSK transmitter. In order to emulate these devices, Microchip provides a two-part solution.
Solder a special chip containing only the RF portion of the rfPIC12F675x onto the target board. This allows the RF component to remain attach to the board’s existing traces, thus eliminating attenuation that would be caused by other solutions. Then attach a modified test clip to this part. Using short wires, attach the test clip to the emulator’s device adapter.
Below are the tables of the parts needed.

*Select one test clip.
1. Solder the rfPIC12F675x-ds to the target.
2. Attach the test clip onto the chip to be emulated. It is recommended that all pins except those listed in the table in step f be isolated from the target chip. This is especially important for ANT1 and ANT2.
3. With the power off, insert the processor module into the MPLAB ICE 2000.
4. Attach the device adapter to the processor module.
5. Insert the eight-lead pin header that came with the device adapter into the device adapter.
6.
Attach leads from the pin header to the test clip in the following
