ICD-U64 debug support covers all targets that have debug mode when used in conjunction with CCS IDE Compilers. The unit also provides in-circuit serial programming (ICSP) support for all Flash chips.

The ICD-U64 connects to your PC via a USB port and can power your target board.

The ICD is powered from:

The USB Bus
Power a board at 5.0V by closing the jumper near the ICD jack inside the unit (the unit must be opened)

The new and improved CCSLOAD programmer control software supports the ICD-U64 and offers many new key features including; powerful command line options in Windows/Linux, extensive diagnostics, easy to use production interface, and enhanced security options.

ICD-U64 can be paired with Tag-Connect, a cost saving production ICSP Programming cable that eliminate the need for a ICSP connector on your product. Tag Connect provides a direct pin-to-circuit connection, saving space on your PCB. The modular end works with existing ICD programmers as well as the ICD-U64.

The CCS ICD units work with the CCS PCW Debugger or CCS's stand-alone ICD control software. The CCS PCW Debugger is a very robust debugger integrated with the PCW Professional Compiiler and provides very detailed debugging information at the C level. The stand-alone control software allows you to quickly program target chips using the ICD's ICSP. The control software also lets you update the ICD unit firmware without having to remove the chip from the ICD unit. (Using these software tools requires you to have loaded the CCS ICD firmware onto the ICD unit, which is loaded by default). The ICD control software comes with an ICD unit and allows for programming of the supported flash parts. For debugging support you will need the PCW Professional Compiler, the PCWH Professional Compiler or the PCWHD Professional Compiler as the debugger is integrated into the IDE.
