On-line help (Help>Topics) is also available for this tool:
· Debuggers>MPLAB ICE 2000
The default location of the Help file is:
· C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPLAB IDE\ICE 2000\hlpMPLABICE2k.chm
Note: MPLAB ICE 2000 is a mature product. As such, many known problems will not be resolved and have been moved to the on-line help Limitations section. Known problems that remain may be fixed or may be retained to highlight the issues.
Please consider the MPLAB REAL ICE™ in-circuit emulator for new designs.
· Windows 7 64-bit USB device drivers are now available for units with a USB converter. Parallel port operation not supported on 64-bit OSs.
· The folder containing 64-bit USB device drivers has been renamed from VistaXP64 to Drivers64. It is a subfolder of the MPLAB IDE folder.
· The folder containing 32-bit USB device drivers has been moved from ICE 2000\Drivers\USB to ICE 2000\USB. ICE 2000 is a subfolder of the MPLAB IDE folder.
· Windows XP and Vista 64-bit USB device drivers are now available for units with a USB converter. Parallel port operation not supported on 64-bit OSs.
Installation and setup instructions are dependent on your operating system. Open the appropriate file for your OS in a web browser and follow the instructions to install the driver(s).

You will need to obtain the Parallel-to-USB Converter, available for purchase separately (ACICE0108). This converter is non-standard and proprietary to Microchip. It allows MPLAB ICE 2000 to communicate with the PC via USB.
Installation and setup instructions are dependent on your operating system. Open the appropriate file for your OS in a web browser and follow the instructions to install the driver(s).
Win 2000/Win XP/Win Vista/Win 7
Note: If you have accidentally installed the Windows OS default driver, the following instructions will direct you to how to "clean" your system first before installing the correct driver(s). If you continue to have problems, see the document “Uninstalling Incorrect USB Device Drivers” (DS51417).
Find detailed instructions at:
C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPLAB IDE\ICE 2000\USB\ddice2k.htm
Basic instructions are as follows:
1. Install MPLAB IDE v7.43 or higher (for Win 2000/XP/Vista) or v8.40 or higher (for Win 7).
2. Connect the USB converter (not plugged into the emulator) to a PC USB port using a USB cable.
3. Follow the “Found New Hardware Wizard” to install the drivers (software):
4. Unplug the USB converted from the USB cable and proceed to set up the emulator hardware for operation. (See the user’s guide or on-line help for details.)
Win XP 64/Win Vista 64/Win 7 64
Note: If you have accidentally installed the Windows OS default driver, please see the document “Uninstalling Incorrect USB Device Drivers” (DS51417).
Find detailed instructions for Win XP 64 at:

or for Win 7 64:
C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPLAB

Basic instructions are as follows:
1. Install MPLAB IDE v 8.14 or higher (for Win XP/Vista 64) or v8.43 or higher (for Win 7 64).
2. Connect the USB converter (not plugged into the emulator) to a PC USB port using a USB cable.
3.
Follow the “Found New Hardware Wizard” to install the drivers (software)
manually.

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.
Note: MPLAB ICE 2000 is a mature product. As such, many known problems will not be resolved and have been moved to the on-line help Limitations section. Known problems that remain may be fixed or are retained to highlight the issues.
The following is a list of known problems. For information on common problems, error messages and limitations, please see the on-line 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.
· When using the "ICE State and Operations Gauge" with Code Coverage enabled, the Code Coverage light on this window will not blink.
· I2K-72: Do not use the debug build mode when using the MPLAB ICE 2000/4000. The Build Configuration should be set to “Release” and not “Debug” when using these emulators. Otherwise registers will unnecessarily be reserved for debugging.
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.
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.

5. Solder the rfPIC12F675x-ds to the target.
6. 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.
7. With the power off, insert the processor module into the MPLAB ICE 2000.
8. Attach the device adapter to the processor module.
9. Insert the eight-lead pin header that came with the device adapter into the device adapter.
10.
Attach leads from the pin header to the test clip in the following
