I knw this is not the right place to discuss but Im desperate to find answer .

I have got ICD2 and Dspic30f3011 and problem is that whenever I connect the Chip to ICD2

it gives me INVALID TARGET DEVICE no matter how i connect . I searched for answers dint find one which solved the problem.

I hear that these chips can be only programmed only placed in circuit ..

any help would be appreciated

go to MPLAB Menu Configure->Select Device and make sure you have the correct device. That should take care of it.



Hope this helps

You could also check that the your chip is correctly powered.



If the chip is not powered, the return code is either FF or 0 and will give a "wrong" chip ID.

Btw, I'm not an ICD2 expert ! (use a bootloader like tinybld, much faster and easier)
