ICD4 will not program PIC if memory preserved.

MPLABX v5.05
PIC16F15313
MPasm v5.81
The ICD4 will program the PIC ok when no memory is preserved. See (a) and (b).
 
When I attempt to program with some memory preserved, it fails to program. See (c) and (d). The ICD4 clicks at the start then clicks again after it gets to the Device ID Revision line and stops. Any clues?
 
The reason for preserving the memory is to store long term data.

    Shouldn't the "Program memory" range to be 0-6FF since you want to preserve the 700 to 7FF?

    Thanks MBedder. I tried this but get the following message:
    The range(s) of program memory to be preserved. Each range must be two hex numbers, representing the start and end addresses of the range, separated by a dash. Ranges must be separated by a comma (e.g. 0-ff, 200-2ff). Areas are reserved by reading them into MPLAB and then programming them back down when a program operation occurs. Thus the preserved areas must lie within a memory range that will be programmed. Ranges must be aligned on a 0x20 address boundary.

    When in "Let ICD4 select ..." mode, the option to preserve memory seems to be available as well. Did you already try this?

    The problem appears to be that if there are software breakpoints set while programming a debug program the  verifying fails. With no breakpoints set it will program ok.

    Now tell me the software breakpoint was in the reserved memory section  :)

    Software breakpoints require that the code be modified to add the software breakpoint opcode, it is then replaced with the original to execute after the breakpoint is reached and then reprogrammed with the SWBP opcode.
     
    You can't have a SWBP in reserved memory as the IDE does not change that since you requested it to be reserved.
