Title: REAL ICE support in MPLAB IDE 8
Post by: motox on February 24, 2017, 10:12:44 22:12
Anyone knows what is the latest MPLAB IDE 8.xx version that supports the REAL ICE Emulator?

I've the latest version 8.92 and it doesn't support.

Here you have all the MPLAB versions. You can install from v8.92 downwards and find the version you are searching for.

The purpose of my question is precisely to avoid doing that.

The REAL ICE has been supported in MPLAB for as long as I can remember, including v8.92. 

Support is device specific for full emulation particularly on low pin count devices, where they provide a range of header boards.

I thought that too, even the help file still says it supports. But the truth is that there are a lot of missing programmers/debuggers on the menu lists.

What is your source of MPLAB and what kind of OS are you using? I did a test with the file from Reply #1 and it from what I can see MPLAB Real ICE should be installed by default. And the MPLAB Real ICE show up in the debugger list. Have you tried a custom install and made sure that your debugger is selected (should be by default)

Stupid me. I installed this a long time ago that I completely forgot we need to choose the support list during install.
I ran the installer, selected REAL ICE and bob's your uncle.
