It is possible the error was a one-time event. Try the operation
again.
There may be a problem programming in general. As a test, switch to
Run mode using the
icon and program the target with the simplest application possible (for example, a
program to blink an LED). If the program will not run, then you know that something is
wrong with the target setup.
It is possible that the target device has been damaged in some way
(for example, over current). Development environments are notoriously hostile to
components. Consider trying another target board. Microchip Technology Inc. offers
demonstration boards to support most of its microcontrollers. Consider using one of
these applications, which are known to work, to verify correct MPLAB® Snap In-Circuit Debugger
functionality.
Review debugger setup to ensure proper application setup. For more
information, see Operation.
Your program speed may be set too high
for your circuit. In MPLAB X
IDE, go to File >
Project Properties, select Snap in
Categories, then Program Options, Program Speed and select a
slower speed from the drop-down menu. The default is Normal. In MPLAB IPE, the
Program Speed option can be found in the Advanced Mode, Settings tab.
There may be certain situations where
the debugger is not operating properly, a newer tool pack may need to be used, or the
debugger needs to be reprogrammed. See the following sections to determine additional
actions.
