I do not speak English and have to work with translation software, so sorry for the possibly erroneous translation.
If I'm looking for a boot loader that can not only be operated via command line, I came across its s30 loader GUI. The downloaded software ds30loadergui.exe can indeed be started and the user interface is built up but then no further operation is possible. All entries are roughened and the tabs can not be selected. Any operation of the program is impossible. Where is the problem? I use Win7 64 and 4.5 is installed, the anti-virus program classifies the software as dangerous, manually there was an exception set, but that does not change the fact that nothing can be operated.]]>

I'm trying to use ds30 gui loader to flash a firmware developed for PIC18F67K22 controller. I'm getting "some part of your firmware will overwrite the bootloader section" and I can see that the fw will be written on top of the bootloader at the bar on the right. 
I tried using the code-offset function of the XC8 compiler to bypass this overwrite, and I was able to move the program ahead but now I'm getting another message "There is no GOTO at location 0x00". 

Anyone can please help how I can modify my firmware to contain the GOTO function? I assumed the compiler should've done anyway.


Thanks]]>

I have not visited in a while, but my 2012-vintage ds30Loader has worked flawlessly since.  I grabbed the latest I could find here (8-17-2014) just to get an update.

Congrats on turning this into a full-time commercial business -- and a big thank you for keeping a free version available!

A small FTDI USB to TTL dongle can be plugged in for configuration.  It's used to translate DMX-512A light show information from the S4 Light-O-Rama program for Christmas Lights.  The lights are re-purposed 2010 Olympic Ring Lights.

ORing Light Demo

On my WIN-7 system I can use the ds30Loader Free version to update the firmware over the USB to TTL interface.

The PC I've dedicated to running the LOR software is an older WIN-XP 32 bit system.  I've installed .net 4.0 but as soon as I run the loader I get a dialog with the following message:

"Unable to find a version of the runtime to run this application."
The title bar of the dialog is
"ds30 Loader GUI.exe - .NET Framework Initialization Error"

The version of the loader is dated from 2010.

What am I missing?  I can't find a .NET 2.0 from Microsoft for WIN-XP.

Best Regards,

PS: It turns out the issue with Microchip drivers is now solved. You could consider my request void!

I was not able to reset the uC via RTS signal because I had configured MCP2200 with "Enable CTS/RTS pins" option. This option actually makes CTS/RTS lines controlled by hardware (quite confusing!!!) and it is not possible to toggle RTS from software (i.e. ds30 Loader).

Now with CTS/RTS pins "not enabled" everything works like a charm and flash programming with ds30 Loader is stunningly fast and easy! Mike, thank you for the great product you share with us!]]>

We loaded code into a product using a dspic30F5011 with version 1.5.1 of GUI loader. We had no issues with it. We then sent the product overseas to the UK for testing purposes. A bug was found in the code and a new hex file was sent to them to boot-load into the product (which they have done to earlier revision designs without issue). I have added a screen shot of the error message, but what it states is that the GUI detected the wrong pic (PIC24HJ128GP502), not the dspic30F5011. With no errors found on my end, I decided to make sure that we both had the same software so both parties downloaded the latest version, 1.5.7. I then got the same exact error that they did. Researching the forum, I saw someone a long time ago fix a similar error by changing the settings to default. Once I did this the 1.5.7 version worked every time for my setup. The people in the UK have done the same reset to the same GUI version and still get the same error. Has anyone seen this problem and have a fix for it. Thanks in advance.
