Command Line Program For Olimex Pic-mt-usb?

[jsobell 0]

Hi,

I'm struggling to work out how I can program my in-circuit PIC18 from the command line via the Olimex ICD2 compatible board.

It works fine with MPLAB, but is there any info around on integration with SourceBoost IDE?

Am I missing something in the RTFM department?

 

Cheers,

Jason

I am having the same problem. I would like to use SourceBoost instead of MPLab to program my PIC devices however I cannot find a stand-alone program to point to in the "Settings->Options...->Tools->Programmer" setting.

 

Did you ever find a solution?

Use MPLAB and Import the Hex file when you program with the ICD or ICD2

is what i do.

 

There is also ICDPROG which

i have been meaning to try in windows, but i have my doubts as it is

VERY OLD.

 

... hmm maybe i'll give it a spin right now and see... if it does work it will

be trivial to add programming support for it in SourceBoost.

Well ICDPROG does work ... just not with a plain hex generated by SourceBoost+BoostC.

 

The hex file generated is missing the config word, this means you need to use an extra

flag and manually set the config word for your device.

 

So it is user beware, i will play around with it a bit more now and see what i can do.

emte,

Add

#pragma DATA _CONFIG, xxx

to the source code.

Yeah, i was looking at that and trying to determine the effect of distilling

#pragma DATA _CONFIG1H, xxx
.
.
.
#pragma DATA _CONFIG7H, xxx

 

into the single one. i am suspecting i will have to remove the large block...

Well i have hit a snag ... i am not sure what ICDPROG is looking for ...

AKA i have yet to figure out why it is complaining about a missing config word.

 

I am trying to compile something in MPLAB for the 18F4620 and see what it generates

for the ICD config word.

AHA ... i need to read more next time ... as it stands ICDPROG only works

for 16F series devices.

 

i am going to see if i can figure out how to modify it for 18f ... as soon as i get some time.

 

The changes look trivial to add more chip support, but it is based on series/families ...

 

If i can figure out how to make mingw32 behave ...
