5.2.3. In-Circuit Debuggers
An ICD is hardware that is connected between a PC and the target microcontroller test system and is used to debug real-time applications quickly and easily. With in-circuit debugging, a monitor program runs in the PIC microcontroller in the test circuit. The programmer can set breakpoints on the PIC, run code, single-step the program, examine variables and registers on the real device, and change their values if required. An ICD uses some memory and I/O pins of the target PIC microcontroller during the debugging operations. With some ICDs, only the assembly language programs can be debugged. Some more powerful debuggers enable high-level language programs to be debugged.
