* These devices require a header board to be able to debug the device.  See the Header Board Specification (DS51292) for more information. This document is available in the “Downloads” section of the PICkit 2 web page.
NOTE: To connect PICkit 2 to a debug header board requires the AC164110 RJ-11 to ICSP Adapter.

+ These devices have an optional debug header which is currently NOT supported by PICkit 2.

2         Operating System Support List

This tool has been tested under the following operating systems:

Windows® 2000 SP4, Windows XP SP2, and Windows Vista™ (32-Bit)* OSs

* Only initial testing has been performed on 32-bit Vista for this release. 64-bit Vista is not supported at this time.

NOTE: Windows NT® and Windows 98/ME OSs are NOT supported.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Beginning with MPLAB IDE v7.51, MPLAB IDE and PICkit 2 will no longer be tested on Windows 98, Windows ME, or Windows NT® OSs. MPLAB IDE and PICkit 2 may continue to work under these operating systems, but their operation will no longer be verified through testing.

4         Known Problems

The following is a list of known problems. For more information on operation, please see the online help file for the PICkit 2 (hlpPICkit2.chm). Bolded prefix represents internal tracking numbers.

·         To use the PICkit 2 as a debugger, two 4.7KW pull-down resistors are needed on pins ICSPDAT and ICSPCLK for units with a black pushbutton.  Units with a red pushbutton have the pull-down resistors already internal to the unit.

PK2-10:  Output to Debug File - An error message is displayed when an attempt is made to use this option.
