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.

Hi,

As You want, I run:
Code:
ds30LoaderConsole.exe --file=project.hex --port=com1 --device=pic24f16ka102 --baudrate=9600 --write-program -l

for original firmware 0.9.4:
Code:
Initiating download...
    Opening port com1@9600
    Searching for bl .
    Found PIC24F16KA102 fw ver. 0.9.4
    Unknown firmware version
    Closing port
    Tx 1 byte / Rx 3 bytes / 0,1s

After changing fw version to 0.9.3 (only constant change in ds30loader.s)

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.

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.

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
