You must have a formatted
FAT32-compatible microSDHC card inserted correctly into theMPLAB PICkit
4 in order to use the
Programmer-To-Go feature.Figure 5-2. Inserting the MicroSDHC Card Correctly
Devices Supported: Check the MPLAB PICkit
4 Release Notes (Readme) for
device support information.
In Programmer-To-Go mode, if the
target board is powering the PICkit 4 it must be capable of providing 350 mA of
power for the PICkit 4 tool to operate properly. If the target board cannot
provide enough power, you will need to provide power directly to the PICkit 4
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.
When using PTG in HV programming
mode and target power, a 100-ohm resistor is required in series with NMCLR if
the PICkit 4 will be powered from the target. Or, follow the procedure described
in ETN-37 MPLAB PICkit 4 VPP Overshoot Modification document found on the MPLAB
PICkit 4 product web page (www.microchip.com/Developmenttools/ProductDetails/PG164140).
Target Voltage is limited to 5.0V maximum.
