Firmware_manual Rev / DEV_MODE [solved] - kalain - 2011-03-26
Hi,
1/ ds30loader_110111.exe file has an obsolete ds30_loader_firmware_manual.pdf. This comes with a rev K documentation!!
rev M file is available on line !
ds30loader_110111!.exe should get latest documentation file ?
2/In Firmware manual documentation file (rev M) it's writen in page 7 :
2. Customize settings.inc
All lines commented with xxx needs to verified/changed.
DEV_MODE
Used during development, delete or comment this line.
If you comment/delete this line (DEV_MODE), you got an build error from MPLAB !
Here is what you can find in line 286 of ds30_loader.asm file (18F firmware)
ifndef DEV_MODE
error Do you need to configura uart pins to be digital? If not, remove this line
endif
DEV_MODE variable is used in asm file !
So, rather to delete/comment this line in Settings.inc file, DEV_MODE variable should be better set at 0 ?

Hi,
It should actually be removed and you should follow the instructions in the error.
Maybe I should rephrase the error to something like this:
"Configure uart pins to be digital if needed, then remove this line"
RE: Firmware_manual Rev / DEV_MODE - kalain - 2011-03-26
Well, I'm not sure to understand correctly what has to be done when this line is removed.
Because Build failed under MPLab !
RE: Firmware_manual Rev / DEV_MODE - Mikael Gustavsson - 2011-03-26
It is supposed to fail and your are supposed to read the line and take appropriate action.
Which device are you using?

Oups! Sorry to forgot.
18F4685.
Thanks

UART pins are not co-located with analog pins so you don't need to configure the a/d.
