In Circut Debug (ICD) buttons palet is disable for 18F2620

You know, I'd been meaning to bring this up myself.

I am using a Pickit2. But my knowledge / experience with MPLAB is very sketchy, at best. Every time I get tempted to learn using MPLAB as an IDE, but always find it very daunting. I know there's a page on the MeLabs page on how to go about it, but still..

What I want to understand is, if I do use the Pickit2 ICD under MPLAB, would the variables in my PBP code show up as well? Like they do in the MCSP ICD? Or would I see just the registers? And would I be able to singlestep thru' my basic program, like what MCSP allows?

Is there a page that talks about PBP-MPLAB-ICD combo? I've googled to find this, unsuceesfully.

All information on this topic would be highly appreciated!

Regards,

Anand

As far as I know, nope... but MPLAB user manual and PICKIT 2 lessons should give some hints?

One thing for sure, you need to use an older version of MPLAB for now. 8.15 is still recommended and available from Melabs Website.
