How to setup pbp3 with MPLABX?

[richard]

Last time I tried it source level debugging was just about useless.

I agree , i'm heading back to mikro C for new projects . their latest update enables source level debugging for some of the newer chips ,finally!

So if I understand correctly, there is absolutely no advantage (debugging) to going through a massive ordeal to attempt to get PBP3 to work in the new MPLABX over the MicroStudio?!?

Hmm, source level debugging seems a distant dream for PBP.

But to be fair, the language syntax of PBP is much more straight forward than C so it is easier to debug and correct errors.

Still, debugging is on top of my wish list.

not if you include usercommands and asm code blocks .
and that's the only thing that keeps pbp3 viable for me

wrong [again] its almost if nobody wants anyone to be able to use 8 bit pic chips any longer .

the chips can be now compiled for and programmed but that's it , no icd support.

pic16f1619 is a no go for icd

It's not entirely clear, but you might need the AC244066 Emulation Extension Pak to debug the 16F1619.

Only if you got MPLAB REAL ICE...

Looking at it again I think you're right. I was looking in the datasheet and didn't see anything about debug support.

According to mplabx 4 the 16F1619 should be supported by PK3 and ICD3.

Which MPLABX in turn does not support PBP3...

Back to square 1.
