pbp 3 and MPLAB X

[Ioannis]

My theory is keep it simple. So I use what Melabs gives with PBP3, the MCSX. When I was using ICD3 as a programmer, I just loaded the hex file in MPLAB8.xx and programed the chip.

Now I find Pickit2 or 3 much more easy to use, specially with the stand alone program.

Out of curiosity, I wonder what MPLABX can offer more as na IDE. Please elaborate on this if you have the time.

well, because I have these three products, I just want to know if they must work or if actually there are a lot of compatibility problems.

PBP3 says it works with MPLABX
MPLABX says it works with ICD3

These three parts works togheter or not ?

Marcick,
I'm afraid I can't help much. I tried to get PBP3 integrated in MPLABX but couldn't even manage to get that working. But anyway, have you seen this page? There's a topic about installing the ICD3. Unfortunately the page doesn't exist but perhaps you can find some other pointers as to where the problem might be.

Ioannis,

Out of curiosity, I wonder what MPLABX can offer more as na IDE.

Well, compared to MCSX, here are three things that I personally would like to have (and that MPLABX offers).

* Source level debugging
* Code folding
* Version control

But, as I said, I couldn't even manage to integrate PBP into the thing so until someone more intelligent than me writes a step by step guide I'll stick with MCSX.

Source level debuging would be nice, but is it valid for a higher level lanquage like PBP or is it possible only for ASM or C?

If this works for PBP, I want it and may do the experiments

Hi,
PBP source level debugging works with MPLAB 8 so it should work with MPLABX as well.

Henrik, I think you are refering to an example of Bruce about this?

I am trying to locate this. Any help appreciated.
