3.3.2 Debugger Adapter Board

For legacy connections, the Debugger Adapter Board (AC102015) is available.

The MPLAB PICkit 5 can be connected to the Debugger Adapter Board as shown in the sections below. Then the various connections on the adapter board can be used to connect to specific targets (see the following topic).

Using the 8-pin Inline Connector

Using the Single In-Line (SIL) connector, the tool is connected directly to the adapter board (ensure pin 1 on the tool lines up with pin 1 on the adapter board). If a 6-pin SIL header is used, connections 7 (TMS) and 8 (TDI) will not be available.

Using the 8-pin Modular Connector

For the MPLAB PICkit 5 it is recommended that you use the 8-pin inline connector described above.

Using the AC164110 - RJ-11 to ICSP Adapter, the debugger can be connected to the modular connector using a 6-pin modular cable resulting in the loss of connection to pins 8 (TMS) and 1 (TDI) at the adapter board.
