MPLAB® IPE Memory Settings
Memory Settings
To view and change the Memory Settings in MPLAB® Integrated Programming Environment (IPE), you must first log in to the Advanced Mode. From the Advanced Mode dialog, click on Memory on the left to display the available settings.
You can control the memory address and other parameters related to a programming operation. Some of the options in this window are also available on the main screen, for viewing and to provide easy access to these settings.
You'll notice that the Allow Tool to select memories and ranges box is checked by default, meaning the programmer tool sets the memory types and ranges. In addition, the Program Memory, Configuration Memory, and Program Memory Range fields are disabled.
If you uncheck the Allow select memories and ranges option, the Program Memory, Configuration Memory, and Program Memory Range fields become available.
The Settings Table describes each Memory Setting in detail.
