Post by thread:[PIC]: MPLAB set prg end address

Is there any way I can get the Picstart plus and MPLAB to program say 0000-07FF (25% of the memory) by default ? Would be nice not to haveto wait while it programs 3 empty pages... I found out I can go in the menu: Picstartplus -> program/verify and change end address but as soon as that window is closed the setting goes away. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.

I agree that delay between changing some code and seeing it run is annoying. But I hear it used to be *much* worse. I'm using MPLAB 5.30 and using a ``ICD'' board (``Options | Development Mode | MPLAB ICD Debugger'') to program and single-step debug the PIC on my board. By carefully watching the Status messages after I hit the ``Program'' button, I see that the address of the location being programmed ``skips over'' my empty pages. ( Someone told me this only happens when I enable ``[Y] Erase All before Program'' ). Looks like those Microchip people are way ahead of us. -- David Cary -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways. See http://www.piclist.com/#archives for details.
