Set up MPLAB® X IDE to use an emulation header. Emulation header functionality is supported on MPLAB X IDE, but not on MPLAB IDE v8. Please use debug headers if you are still using MPLAB IDE v8.
1
Set Up Emulation Header Hardware First
Set up the emulation header as specified inEmulation Header Hardware Setup.
2
Create a Project
Begin creating a project for a device supported by your emulation header using the Projects wizard (File>New Project). See MPLAB X IDE documentation for more on Projects.
3
Create a Project: Specify Header Product Number
In one step of the wizard you will have an opportunity to specify the emulation header product number (AC######).
4
Create a Project: Specify Debug Tool
In another step you will specify the hardware (debug) tool to which your emulation header is attached.
5
Develop Project Code
Once the wizard is complete, write code for your project.
6
Debug Your Code
SelectDebug>Debug Project to run and debug your code.
Note: An emulation header can only be used to debug (Debug menu), not to program (Run menu). SeeEmulation Header Additional Information.
