Tiny Multi Bootloader+ / Discussion / Ask for Help: 16f1829: Tiny & Great Cow basic -- Hex file for PIC18F, PIC family mismatch.

First: Edorul & Dan THANK you for a great product!

Using the latest version of tiny v081

Edorul & Dan: See my offer below for some sample PCBs below!

Fixed it.

I should of looked closer at word #4 3fff,
had this in the code:
;#option bootloader 2

; is not a comment in GCB
only ' -- single quote is -- dooh!

This is really cool because now I can program TBL into a pic and hand a student a $2 usb to ttlRS232 and not need a PICKIT2 or 3 to load code into a chip -- that's is really awesome thanks guys for all your effort.

changed the 1823 to 1829

    ; change these lines accordingly to your application

Thanks

I know it will clobber the Tiny on the upload.

That is my next question:
How you tell GCB to make room and to LIMIT the total size.

16f1829 [@ 0000 = 339F] then the rest is @ at the top 1FA0 [8k-100]
So now how do I tell the gcb compiler to compile with that?

Will tiny prevent you from over writing itself? [if you use check file?]

It will be awesome to not use a pickit for most work.

Hello,

"Error: Hex file for PIC18F, PIC family mismatch." appears because there is a bug in the "check file" procedure in TinyBootloader+ (thanks for the the report).
But, don't worry, the program transfert will be the same with or without "Check file" option. In fact, "Check file" option is just used to avoid errors like: put a PIC16 firmware in a PIC18 device and wonder why the application doesn't work.

For Great Cow Basic, you don't have to bother with something like "16f1829 [@ 0000 = 339F]". You just have to write programs sufficiently small to stay in [Max_Mem - 100words].

Yes, TinyBootloader+ will tell you if it attempts to write itself (no need to check the "check file" option). If it's the case, it won't try to write your program in the PIC.

Best regards,
Edorul

Edorul: Thank YOU so very much for your great work.

So very glad I could stumble upon an error :)

Unfortunately, after loading a GCB .hex tinybootloader no longer gets executed.

Anyone here have a clue on how do I compile in a command to tell gcb to run tiny, which will then return to gcb if no answer from the host.

Hello,ofuzzy1

Checkpoints.

After writing the user program, please check the following:

①Code of bootloader area (0x1FA0 ~ 0x1FFF) has not been changed after writing.

②Code of 0x0000 ~ 0002 address is similar to the one below after writing.

0000:301F movlw 0x1F
0001:008A movwf PCLATH
0002:2FA0 goto IntrareBootloader

There is a possibility that the reset is not applied correctly these is successful.

Dan

Dan, Thanks for the reply.

If you want I can send you and Edorul a couple pcbs --

You can pm your snail addresses, Edorul I know you're outside the US.

Here's the 16f1829 memory read. [.hex]

Yes, the code up top of memory looked unchanged 
And the first three were as you posted:

Code of 0x0000 ~ 0002 address is similar to the one below after writing.

0000:301F movlw 0x1F
0001:008A movwf PCLATH
0002:2FA0 goto IntrareBootloader

here's the first $20
301F    008A    2FA0    3FFF    0009    2378    2340    238A

018E    3007    0091    0192    3007    0093    0194    0023

I did unplug the power, just using the PGM-ISP to power the board for now.
in TBL changed delay to 2500 and tries to 100, still no luck.

Fixed it.

I should of looked closed at word #4 3fff,
had this in the code:
;#option bootloader 2

Hello,

Thanks for posting the solution!

But, I'm not sure to understand. In order to get your program working did you add "#option bootloader 2" line or did you erase it?

Edorul

  I removed it.
  Then it worked.
  
  I assUmed the ; [semicolon]was a comment line.
  It's not, only ' [single_quote]
