16.14.1 PORTx

PORTx Register

Important:

Writes to PORTx are actually written to the corresponding LATx register. Reads from PORTx register return actual I/O pin values.
The PORT bit associated with the MCLR pin is read-only and will read ‘1’ when the MCLR function is enabled (LVP = 1 or (LVP = 0 and MCLRE = 1))
Refer to the “Pin Allocation Table” for details about MCLR pin and pin availability per port
Unimplemented bits will read back as ‘0’
Bits RB6 and RB7 read ‘1’ while in Debug mode
