Hi. I want to ask for new device support, especialy newer 18F XLP 3,3V devices. Or if it is enough to write new .H and .TDF files, because my quick looking around revealed that I don't know how to set chip FLASH and RAM size. So simple copy and edit would not be possible. Maybe this thing must be for device in the "system" already. My first candidate is 18F25J11, for my GSM module

Thanks, Jaero

We are in the process of adding a lot of new devices, the 18F25J11 happens to already be first on the list.

Will make this available as soon as its done.

Here is a link to some new header files and TDF files: http://www.sourceboost.com/CommonDown..._21-11-2009.zip

PIC18F24J11, PIC18F24J50, PIC18F25J11, PIC18F25J50, PIC18F26J11, PIC18F26J50, PIC18F44J11, PIC18F44J50, PIC18F45J11, PIC18F45J50, PIC18F46J11, PIC18F46J50, PIC18LF24J11, PIC18LF24J50, PIC18LF25J11, PIC18LF25J50, PIC18LF26J11, PIC18LF26J50, PIC18LF44J11, PIC18LF44J50, PIC18LF45J11, PIC18LF45J50, PIC18LF46J11, PIC18LF46J50

These are really hot off the press, so currently lack any target configuration options.

Works ok for me, even on different PCs in different locations.

even on windows and with iexplorer, no go from my location. I don't have any proxies or filters in the path... Can you please send it to my profile e-mail? I'll be very thankful! I want to try the 25j11 support...

Send me you email address and I'll send it onto you. I would post it on the forum but it's too big.

It seems to be a problem with the case of the URL.

http://www.sourceboost.com/CommonDownload/..._21-11-2009.zip

works here.

Right. That one worked with me. I already have the files from Dave and here are some observations: CONFIG defines are missing in the header files. Also CVRCON (voltage reference) definition is missing for 18f25j11 (maybe for others). Anyway, these are details and I am very thankful for the files!

Thank you for the new part definitions! I'm using the PIC18F24J11 in my product design, and I was able to get the support working with BoostC (using MPLAB IDE) (6.97 beta 2) and everything was working great until I tried to use the PPS port remapping feature.

I'm using the 2nd EUSART on pins RB3 (RX) and RB2 (TX). The transmitter works, but I can't get the receiver to operate. BoostC appears to be making the correct assembler output to do the port locking function. I've tried both C and inline asm (they produce essentially the same output anyway) to set up the PPS module and am now totally stumped. Many dozens of PIC designs under my belt, I feel completely stumped by this one.

If anyone has any ideas it would be great. It's the very last peripheral I need to get going before I can finish this thing....

Thanks!

Andrew

Check pin directions for selected RPx. I'm using 25j11 with two usarts and both are working fine. Here is relevant piece from my source (RB3=RX, RB2=TX):

CODE

portb = 0xff; trisb = 0xf9;
asm {
    MOVLB 0x0E
    MOVLW 0x55
    MOVWF _eecon2, 0
    MOVLW 0xAA
    MOVWF _eecon2, 0
    BCF _ppscon, IOLOCK, 1

    MOVLW 6
    MOVWF _rpinr16, 1
    MOVLW 5
    MOVWF _rpor5, 1

    MOVLW 0x55
    MOVWF _eecon2, 0
    MOVLW 0xAA
    MOVWF _eecon2, 0
    BSF _ppscon, IOLOCK, 1
}

Dave, I mentioned earlier - missing CVRCON definition for some devices. I found that it was an error in Microchip header files and it is now in the errata (found it for 18f25j11). Is it possible for such additions to get it to your definitions? And still missing configuration defs, as they are no more at locations near 0x300000, but at end of program flash... Maybe they are missing in Microchip header files too.

Microchip supplied data is the primary source of data for our header and TDF files, so if the error is in there we will reproduce the same error unless we notice that its wrong or missing which considering the amount of data is less likely.

On the configuration front we are adopting a new style (as per Microchips new configuration style):

#pragma CONFIG WDT = ON

This work is nearly complete, so should be included in the next release.

Dave
