Limitations of ICD2 with CCS

Hello everyone,

Is there any limitation in debugging CCS code, using ICD2 from Microchip ?

Thanks,
Gabriel.-

Thanks PCM for replying.

I need to run the ICD for using an 16F88.
And what would like to know, if with both ICD's I will be able to watch variables, RAM, ROM, etc, when the program runs.
Also, don�t know if Microchip's and CCS's already come with a 18pin adapter included.

I would apreciate any information.

PCM,

Thanks a lot for this information.
As seen from the connections from the ICD2 to the circuit, you connect via 6 pins to the target board, in wich YOU HAVE NOT TO TAKE OUT THE PIC MICRO FROM THE BOARD, isn't it ?
Two of the ICD2 pins that are used are PGM and PGD, wich go directly to T1OSI and T1OSO. So, I won�t be able to use TIMER1 via an external 32,768 cristal when using the ICD2, isn�t it ?

Well PCM, this is the last question I will ask about this. Thank you very much, and hope not to bother.

There are also little RJ11 to pin-header adapter boards available.
I don't have the link to that thread right now, but I know Mark
mentioned them on the thread, and I also found links to commercially
available adapters. Maybe I can search for that thread tomorrow.
The method you're proposing to use may be the best for your
application, but I want to make you aware of all options.

Here's the thread where I posted four links to companies
that sell ICD2 adapters that convert from the RJ11 to a 10-pin
header connector.
http://www.ccsinfo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=20828

I use the 6-pin header that I described in my post earlier
in this thread, but I wanted to let you know about the other adapters.

For anybody that ends up viewing this thread, it looks like the Digikey A9031 part listed above has been replaced by the ROHS compliant part A31422-ND (which is also listed as a 5555165-1 (one more "5" than the part listed in the above posts)). They show it as $0.93 each or $0.81 each for 10 pcs as of 28-Dec-2012).
