Application wont start

[Northeastdiver]

Hi,

I am trying to use the DS30 bootloader on a PIC18F46K20. I have modified the settings file as best as I could understand it and downloaded it to the PIC with a PICKIT2.

If I click on Check for BL I get, Found PIC18F46K20 fw ver. 3.0.2 every time, so I assume this is right so far.

Next I downloaded my application using the GUI and all was successful.

Initiating write...
Reseting device...ok
Searching for bl .
Found PIC18F46K20 fw ver. 3.0.2
Waiting for the boot loader to be ready...ok
Hex file successfully parsed
Writing flash....ok
Tx 56.3kB / Rx 1.5kB / 115.2s
Write successfully completed

However the problem I have is that the application doesn't start up.

There is nothing ticked in the advanced settings tab

The application is written in Flowcode, im not sure if I need to do anything in the application to make it start up after the bootloader has finished running.

Can you help me out ?

Im using version 1.5.7 of the GUI and Version 3.0.2 of the bootloader firmware.

Hi,
Please zip and attach the application hex file. Do you use the config bits from the application also in the boot loader?

Hi,

Attached is my application in .Hex

I am using the same config in the bootloader as I am using in the application.

Hi,
I don't see any problem with your hex file. Please post the boot loader project.

Here is the bootloader

The configuration bits are not identical. Please correct that first.

Hi,

Im not sure how to, I have looked and they both seem the same to me.

Can you see which parts are not the same??

Hi,
Sorry for the late reply. I've been on vacation.

I imported the application and the boot loader files in MPLAB IDE and compared the values in the configuration bits window.
