I have 8.73 installed; my PicKit 2 lists both versions of the '1825, but MPLAB IDE tells me the device is not supported by the PK2 and disconnects it.. Spent the morning digging in the 8.87 release notes (see below) trying to determine if IDE supports the '1825 the PK2, with no luck. "Devices Supported.htm" seems to be the current disinformation. And, it's wrong about the PK2 / '1825... http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=3DSS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=3D= 1406&dDocName=3Den019469&part=3DSW007002 In your 8.86 implementation, w2hen you click through : "Configure -> Select Device -> PIC..." does it show a PICF1825 and/or PIC16LF1825? If you select it, does the dialog box indicate the PK2 supports the device? I'm trying to avoid installing 8.87, just to find out it does'nt support PK2 + PIC16(L)F1825... Thanks for your help.
