Post by thread:[PIC] PICC Lite problem under Linux

I have problem to install PICC Lite under Linux (Ubuntu 5.04). I follow the instruction but I was having problem at the last step (picl -setup). Anyone here is using it? "- Run the driver with the -setup option, as root: /usr/hitech/picl_8.05PL2/bin/picl -setup" To start with PIC on Linux, now I will try gputils + Pickit 1 (with 12F629/675). I would also like to try gpsim and Picc Lite. Xiaofan

I tried "sudo /usr/hitech/picl_8.05PL2/bin/picl -setup" firstly. Not working. I then enabled the root user (Ubuntu comes default with root disabled) and run as root. Still not working. I will try again this evening and post the error message later. I am at work now and have no access to my Linux box. Xiaofan {Original Message removed}

Yes I work as a normal user and then use "su" to gain root access. In Ubuntu you not have a root user by default but the first user can issue "sudo" to act as a root. I have to enable the root account first in order to use "su".

Subject: RE: [PIC] PICC Lite problem under Linux Don't forget, if you need to do something as root, you can type "su" and enter your root password, to temporarily get root privileges. You don't need to enable the root user. jon

The error message is as followed. However when I tried to compile a C program, it appears to work normally. Strange. Maybe it is a false alarm. ------------------------------------------------ root@ubuntu:/usr/hitech/picl_8.05PL2/bin/picl -setup HI-TECH PICC Lite COMPILER (Microchip PIC) V8.05PL2 Copyright (C) 1984-2004 HI-TECH SOFTWARE No file arguments (error) ----------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------- mcuee@ubuntu:~/Desktop/PICkit 1/Classic/Lesson 1/c$ picl -12F675 Debounce.c HI-TECH PICC Lite COMPILER (Microchip PIC) V8.05PL2 Copyright (C) 1984-2004 HI-TECH SOFTWARE Debounce.c: Debounce() 115: COUNT = 20.; ^ implicit conversion of float to integer (warning) Memory Usage Map: Program ROM $0000 - $0005 $0006 ( 6) words Program ROM $03C4 - $03FE $003B ( 59) words $0041 ( 65) words total Program ROM Bank 0 RAM $0020 - $0020 $0001 ( 1) bytes total Bank 0 RAM Config Data $2007 - $2007 $0001 ( 1) words total Config Data Program statistics: Total ROM used 65 words (6.4%) Total RAM used 1 bytes (1.6%) ------------------------------------------------ {Original Message removed}

I agree with you. It is good that now I have a working c compiler (PICC Lite), an assembler (gputils) and a USB programmer (Pickit 1) under Linux at least for the 12F629/675 that I will start with.
