Switch from JTAG to Non-JTAG Hardware

Non-JTAG Communication Hardware Includes:

  • Standard/ICSP communication hardware
  • High-Speed/LVDS communication hardware (Performance Pak)
  • Performance Pak, plus the Isolator Unit

To Switch the Hardware:

The target device does not need to be erased before switching from JTAG to non-JTAG.

1

Device memory does not need to be erased in this case.

2

Power down the target board.

3

Disconnect the JTAG ribbon cable from the target, disconnect the USB cable from the emulator, and unplug the JTAG adapter board from the emulator.

4

Connect one end of the standard communications cable to the connector on the standard driver board and insert the board into the emulator driver board slot.

5

Connect the other end of the modular cable to the connector on a target board, such as the Microchip Explorer 16 development board.

6

Connect the USB cable to the emulator and power the target board.

To Set Up MPLAB X IDE for Non-JTAG Operation:

1

Select File > Project Properties. In the Project Properties dialog, click on your desired configuration, e.g., Conf: [default].

2

Click the down arrow on the Supported Plugin Board drop-down box and select None. Click OK to accept the setup.
