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.
 

I can give more info once I have someones attention.

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
