Bootloader modifications for PIC16F1847 [solved]

[rajbex]

Hi,
I successfully tested the PIC16F bootloader with PIC16F1827 (running at 20MHz external clock) following the suggestions posted by Andrew here:

However, when I recompiled the bootloader for PIC16F1847 (running at 20MHz external clock), the GUI returns the following error.

Searching for bl .
Found PIC16F1513 fw ver. 1.0.2
Wrong pic detected(499)/selected(468), aborting

While recompiling the bootloader for PIC16F1847, the only changes I made is the device select in MPLAB-X, as the hardware setup is same as that for PIC16F1827.

Any suggestion, why the GUI is detecting a wrong PIC.

Thanks,
Raj

Hi,
Please attach the entire modified MPLAB IDE project and the ds30 Loader GUI binary used.

Thanks

Thanks,
Please download the latest package. This has already been fixed some time ago.

May I ask where is the link to your latest package? The one I am using has a time stamp of 121109, and I downloaded it from here:

Or can you attach the fixed one here as a zipped folder?

Thanks,

The file may have been updated without a proper release.

Sorry, I didn't get it properly. So, what is the solution to this problem? Can you help me with this?

[Mikael Gustavsson]

Redownload the latest package and use the firmware in there or copy the new devices_PIC16F.inc file to your current MPLAB project.

[rajbex]

Ok, I will try it and let you know how it goes.

Thanks,

Hi Mikael,
I tried the new devices_PIC16F.inc file and it still didn't work. The GUI shows the same error.

Initiating write...

I have attached the new zipped folder.

Thanks,
Raj

PS: I didn't see any changes in the new deivices_PIC16F.inc file. The time stamp on this file is March 21, which is the same file I used last time. FYI, I am using the download link available on this page:
