Starting and Stopping Debugging

Note: Refer to the MPLAB X IDE Help for information on menu option icons.

To debug an application in MPLAB X IDE, you must create a project that contains your source code so that the code may be built, programmed into your device, and executed as specified below:

•	To run your code, select either Debug>Debug Main Project or from the Run toolbar.

•	To halt your code, select either Debug>Pause or from the Debug toolbar.

•	To run your code again, select either Debug>Continue or from the Debug toolbar.

•	To step through your code, select either Debug>Step Into or from the Debug toolbar. Be careful not to step into a Sleep instruction or you will have to perform a processor Reset to resume emulation.

•	To step over a line of code, select Debug>Step Over from the Debug toolbar.

•	To end code execution, select either Debug>Finish Debugger Session or from the Debug toolbar.

•	To perform a processor Reset on your code, select Debug>Reset from the Debug toolbar. Additional Resets, such as POR/BOR, MCLR, and System, may be available, depending on the device. Refer to the product data sheet for more information.
