You must have a formatted
FAT32-compatible microSDHC card inserted correctly into the MPLAB PICkit 5 in order to use the
Programmer-To-Go feature.Figure 5-2. Inserting the
MicroSDHC Card Correctly
Devices Supported: Check the MPLAB PICkit 5 Release Notes (Readme) for
device support information.
In Programmer-To-Go mode, if the
target board is powering the PICkit 5 it must be
capable of providing 350 mA of power for the PICkit 5 tool to operate properly. If the target board cannot provide enough
power, you will need to provide power directly to the PICkit 5 through its USB port with either a power supply, computer, or
USB power bank. See Power Requirements for Programmer-To-Go for suggested power sources.
If high voltage (HV) programming
is not required, it is recommended to use low voltage programming (LVP) if the
device supports it.
