Post by thread:[PICLIST] MPLAB programming hex file

I am still having problems programming a hex file using MPLAB and Microchip ICD. If I create a C project and assemble it and program.. it works fine. I followed the following procedure 1) select PIC16F876 from "development mode" menu 2) set platform as ICD debugger 3) open "Program Memory" 4) Clear Program memory 5) Import hex file to memory 6) connect to ICD 7) Program Any help appreciated from someone who has programmed hex file only using ICD.

I only once programmed a hex file with ICD and that was to upgrade the firmware. Worked first time. I followed the instructions (PDF) that I got from Microchip's web page to update the ICD firmware. Try that, might help with the steps involved. Quentin -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList .....piclist-unsubscribe-requestKILLspam@spam@mitvma.mit.edu

You show connecting the ICD in step 6. I only say this because if it doesn't fail where I'd expect it to, then maybe it didn't go into ICD mode like you think it did. What does "doesn't work" mean? Seems to program but program doesn't work? Barry -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList piclist-unsubscribe-requestKILLspammitvma.mit.edu
