9.1 Debugger Selection and Switching

Use the Project Properties dialog to select or switch debuggers for a project. To switch you must have more than one MPLAB® ICD 5 In-Circuit Debugger connected to your computer. MPLAB X IDE will differentiate between the two by displaying two different serial numbers.

To select or change the debugger used for a project:

  1. Open the Project Properties dialog by doing one of the following:
    1. Click on the project name in the Projects window and select File>Project Properties.
    2. Right click on the project name in the Projects window and select “Properties.”
  2. Under “Categories,” click on “Conf: [default].”
  3. Under “Hardware Tools,” find “ICD 5” and click on a serial number (SN) to select an debugger for use in the project.
