    I'm trying to get my SNAP debugger/programmer to work with MPLAB X IDE/IPE v 5.45 on a desktop Ubuntu/linux OS. I have also tried the SNAP on a desktop Windows 10 OS. Cant get the SNAP operational. Does anyone have any clue? I can give more info once I have someones attention. Thanks..

    It appears you have posted into the correct forum.
    However, as this is one of your first two posts, which has to be approived by a moderator, that moderator may have moved this post from somewhere else. There's no way for us to tell.

    That's not how forums work. Please post the information, then if someone has an idea, they will respond.

    Thanks to the Moderator for directions:
    I am trying to debug my approach to utilization of the Microchip SNAP debugger/programmer. I am using MPLAB X IDE/IPE v.5.30 connected to a desktop with the Ubuntu 20.04 OS via a High Speed USB cable. The microcontroller I am using on my target board is a AVRmega328P. After I load my code and compile, I use the 'DEBUG' function which provides a list of functions to perform. I select 'Run Debugger/Programmer Self Test'. From the list of tools that is presented I see the Snap tool but it has a yellow caution (!) with 'Self Test not Supported-SN:BUR18307849" message. At least the IDE has seen my Snap as that is the correct Serial Number.
    I tried doing this without the target board and the adapter cable and I get the same result.
    This is the adapter cable wiring that I am using to connect the Snap to my target board:
    Snap J4 connector pin                       Target board ICSP connector
         1-MCLR* -------------------------------   5-RST*
         2-Vdd    --------------------------------   2-5v0
         3-GND   --------------------------------   6-GND
         4-PGD   --------------------------------   1-MISO
         5-PGC   --------------------------------   3-SCK
         6- (N.U.)                                            4- (N.U.)
         7- (N.U)
         8- (N.U.)
     
    I am not at all sure about the wiring adapter connections to the target board so I would appreciate a critique on that as well. I intend to use this for Debugging and programming.
    Thanks

    The SNAP product page on the Microchip website is at
    https://www.microchip.com/developmenttools/ProductDetails/PartNO/PG164100
    Looking on page 38 of the user guide, it appears you also need to connect MOSI to pin#7 of the SNAP.
     
    I think that message is telling you there is no self test capability for the SNAP, you just have to try connecting to a real device.
     
    n.b. this is guesswork from the datasheet, I've never used a SNAP with an AVR device.

    Thank you Ric and Jim , I tried using support.microchip.com but am not familiar with that route. It is a little difficult to understand , will have to spend more time on it. In the mean time, I will update my connection adapter to include the MOSI connection.  Thanks,
