MPLAB ICD 4 Help

Communication Hardware

Note: For header support, see the Release Notes for MPLAB ICD 4 in MPLAB X IDE v5.25 or greater.

For standard debugger communication with a target (“Debugger to Target Communication”), use an adapter with the RJ-11 connector.

•	Connecting an RJ-11 Type Cable to an RJ-45 Jack on the Debugger

•	Standard Communication

•	Modular Cable and Connector

To use this type of communication with a header board, you may need a device-specific Processor Pak, which includes an 8-pin connector header board that contains the desired ICE/ICD device and a standard adapter board.

Note: Older header boards used a 6-pin (RJ-11) connector instead of an 8-pin connector, so these headers may be connected directly to the debugger.

For more on available header boards, see the “Processor Extension Pak and Header Specification” (DS51292).
