To use ICD, an external system that supports ICD must load a debugger executive program into the microcontroller. This is automatically handled by many debugger tools, such as the MPLAB IDE. For PIC32MX devices, the program is loaded into the last page of the Boot Flash memory space. When not debugging, the application is free to use the last page of Boot Flash Memory. The document in question has some information on the debug registers. There is no very much but that could be a start. The part that is installed into the processor for programming is called Programming Executive (PE) You can find the document about programming on Microchip's web site. pic32prog does use the PE https://code.google.com/p/pic32prog/ Michel -- For Linux Software visit http://home.comcast.net/~mcatudal _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
