PIC24F16KA102, Unknown firmware version [solved] - tyralek - 2010-12-08

Hi,

I'm trying to run ds30 loader on PIC24F16KA102
the firmware on PIC seems to work correctly.

Code:
Searching for bl.

Found PIC24F16KA102 fw ver. 0.9.4

but I have get Error Message in GUI, when I use "Download" button.

Code:
Initiating download...

      Searching for bl .

      Found PIC24F16KA102 fw ver. 0.9.4

      Unknown firmware version

      Tx 1 byte / Rx 3 bytes / 0,1s

but when I change in firmware:

Code:
;------------------------------------------------------------------------------

; Constants, don´t change

;------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        .equ    VERMAJ,        0                                        /*firmware version major*/

        .equ    VERMIN,        9                                        /*fimrware version minor*/

        .equ    VERREV,        3                                        /*firmware version revision*/

I get errors in GUI:

Code:
Initiating download...

      Searching for bl . . . . . . (discarded null byte) .

      Found PIC24F16KA102 fw ver. 0.9.3

      Waiting for bootloader to be ready...ok

      Writing flash...verification error,1 try

      Writing flash...verification error,2 try

      Writing flash...download failed

      Download finished

      Tx 319 bytes / Rx 9 bytes / 3,5s

How can I fix it?
It is problem with firmware on PIC
or with "ds30 loader" program on PC?

Thank You for helping me.

Best regards,
tyralek.

RE: PIC24F16KA102, Unknown firmware version - Mikael Gustavsson - 2010-12-10

Thanks. There's an error in devices.xml. PIC24F devices don't have pages, only rows.
Open bin\devices.xml and search for PIC24F (not PIC24F) then replace
<hasPages>true</hasPages>
with
<hasPages>false</hasPages>

Please let us know if it works after the fix.

Btw, I'll fx 0.9.4 not being recognized to the next version.

RE: PIC24F16KA102, Unknown firmware version - Mikael Gustavsson - 2010-12-13

Please try and disable all fancy features such as watchdog, bor, code protection e.t.c.
Have you tried different chips/boards?
I don't have any PIC24F at hand so I cant do much testing.

RE: PIC24F16KA102, Unknown firmware version - Mikael Gustavsson - 2011-01-17

Hi again,
I got another report about write verification failing.
Could you please tell me what revision of the device you are using.

RE: PIC24F16KA102, Unknown firmware version - Mikael Gustavsson - 2011-01-21

Hello again,
Here's the solution, replace the following code

Code:
        ;----------------------------------------------------------------------        

        ; Erase & write row

        ;----------------------------------------------------------------------        

        ; Erase row

program:tblwtl    WADDR, [WADDR]        ;??? "Set base address of erase block", equivalent to setting nvmadr/u in dsPIC30F?

        mov        #0x4058, W0

        rcall    Write

        ; Load latches

        mov     #ROWSIZEW, WCNT

latlo:    tblwth.b     [WBUFPTR++], [WADDR]     ;upper byte

        tblwtl.b    [WBUFPTR++], [WADDR++]     ;low byte

        tblwtl.b    [WBUFPTR++], [WADDR++]     ;high byte    

        dec     WCNT, WCNT

        bra     nz, latlo

        ; Write row

        mov     #0x4004, W0        

        rcall     Write

Hi,

Today I used Your Fixed PIC24F firmware from download page,
And everything seems to work perfectly.

Thank You for helping me.

Best regards,
tyralek.
