Due to simplicity, there will be some
restrictions...
|
The target (the PIC you want to debug) and the ICD
have to be powered with same voltage (+5V)
|
|
The target power can't be switch on/off by the
ICD
|
|
If MCLR pin is weak-pulled up to Vdd at the target,
this resistor has to be removed when the ICD is connected since our
ICD isn't able to pull this pin to ground.

No blinking status LEDs :-(

|
No USB support :-(

I think a PCB is not needed for this
circuit. Soldering the components to a *drilled hole board* should be good
enough. Additionally, an external power supply providing the
programming voltage Vpp (about +13V) is needed.
