Can I program an Serial Quick Turn Programming (SQTP℠) device with a PICkit™ 3 debugger?
Yes, you can program an SQTP℠ device with a PICkit™ 3 debugger. The process follows the basic steps as of the other development tools such as MPLAB® ICD4 In-Circuit Debugger, MPLAB REAL-ICE™ In-Circuit Emulator, or the MPLAB PM3.
Using MPLAB-IPE (Integrated Programming Environment):
- Go to Advanced Mode and enter the password microchip
- Go to the 'SQTP' tab, click the settings for your application then press Generate.
- Save this generated SQTP file to your destination directory.
- Go to the 'Operate' Tab.
- Click File > Import > SQTP.
- Pick the SQTP file you generated from the step above.
- The output screen should say, "SQTP file loaded successfully".
- After this you should be able to program your PIC® device with SQTP and the Output window should give information about the serial number it generated.
Note: The PICkit 3 is for development purposes only. For a complete factory programmer setup, please consider using an MPLAB ICD4 In-Circuit Debugger, MPLAB REAL-ICE In-Circuit Emulator, or the MPLAB PM3.
