8.2.1 Memories to Program
Select the memories to be programmed into the target. The table below shows
all the possible options. However, only those options available for your selected device
will be displayed in MPLAB X
IDE.
Note: If Erase All Before Program is
selected, as shown in section Program, then all device memory will be erased before
programming.
| Auto select memories and ranges | Allow ICD 4 to Select Memories - The debugger
uses your selected device and default settings to determine what to
program.
Manually select memories and ranges - You select the type and range of memory to program (see below). |
| Configuration Memory | Check to include Configuration Memory in the areas(s) to be programmed. This is always programmed in Debug mode. |
| Boot Flash | Check to include Boot Flash memory in the area)s) to be programmed. This is always programmed in Debug mode. |
| EEPROM | Check to include EEPROM memory in the area(s) to be programmed. |
| ID | Check to program the user ID. |
| Program Memory | Check to program the target program memory range specified below. |
| Program Memory Range(s) (hex) | The range(s) of program memory to be programmed. These
are the starting and ending hex address range(s) in program memory for
programming, reading, or verification. Each range must be two hex
numbers (the start and end addresses of the range) separated by a dash.
Multiple ranges must be separated by a comma (for example, 0-ff,
200-2ff). Ranges must be aligned on a 0x800 address boundary. Note: The address range
does not apply to the Erase function. The Erase function will erase
all data on the device. |
| Preserve Program Memory | Check to not set the target program memory range specified below. Ensure that code is NOT code protected. |
| Preserve Program Memory Range(s) (hex) | The starting and ending hex address range(s) in target program memory to preserve when programming, reading, or verifying. This memory is read from the target and overlaid with existing MPLAB X IDE memory. |
| Preserve Memory | Check to preserve Memory for reprogramming, where Memory is the type of memory. Types include: EEPROM, ID, Boot Flash, and Auxiliary. Ensure that code is NOT code protected. |
| Preserve Memory Range(s) (hex)* | The starting and ending hex address range in target Memory to preserve when programming, reading, or verifying. Memory is the type of memory, which includes EEPROM, ID, Boot Flash, and Auxiliary. This memory is read from the target and overlaid onto the existing MPLAB X IDE memory. Ensure that code is NOT code protected. |
| * If you receive a programming error due to an incorrect range, ensure the range does not exceed available/remaining device memory. | |
