3.2.1 USB Default Connection

The default connection between the PC and MPLAB ICD 5 unit is USB using a USB Type-C cable. It is recommended that you use the cable that comes with the kit to avoid communication issues.

Note: Only USB communications can be used for trace.

Note: MPLAB Data Visualizer, whether as an MPLAB X IDE included plugin or as a stand-alone application, can only detect the debugger when it is using USB communications.

If you have problems with the other types of communications, return to USB and then use the Manage Network Tools (MNT) dialog to switch to Ethernet again.
