18F25K22 Support [solved]

[moonshadow]

@moonshadow
Fuse configurations are manually defined in settings.inc - the attached firmware will work on your Amicus18 board with an 18F25K22 installed

[Edit] Reverted the firmware version back to 2.0.3 so that it functions with the GUI/Console correctly.

Sorry for the delay, I have been having a 'blank' period. I tried this and it does work, but I ran into issues. I am not sure if I generated them with my own incompetence, but decided to post them here just in case. Incidentally I am not using the Amicus board, but the one for the Children's project. I am using the Amicus compiler.

1. The first is that the above procedures* were written for the 18F25K20 chip, but also appear to apply to the 18F25K22 chip.

2. Most of the issues found with the DS30 concerned the operation of the drop down DOS window.

3. If the target board is not powered during a download, the bootloader search is bypassed and the DOS screen closes giving no time to read any warnings.

4. If the download cable is not plugged in during a download, the bootloader search is bypassed and the DOS screen closes giving no time to read any warnings.

5. During a normal download, it was found that very often the bootloader search was bypassed, or prematurely ended. This was of major concern because the DOS screen disappears so fast, it is impossible to read the warnings at the bottom of the window. The end result is that one thinks that there has been a download, when there hasn't. Again, the DOS screen closes down too fast to read any warnings.

6. If, in the settings box, the download cable is not plugged in, it obviously will not show. If it is then plugged in, one has to exit and then re-enter the box in order to detect the cable.

7. It may very well be that the above conditions were caused by my own incompetence.
