Hi All, I'm trying to upload the bootloader for the 16F877A in TMB+, but the TMB program keeps reporting that it can't find a 16F877A. I'm using the PicKit3 program in TMB and the settings look OK, but I'm only offered the 16F877 and not the 'A' version. Is this the problem and is there a solution please?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Hi Anobium, I was trying to input the bootloader that is offered in the 'Firmwares' menu of TMB. Here is a screen grab of my settings. Perhaps this does not work?

Not sure I understand.
You have programmed the 887A with a TBL+ bootloader.
When using the TBL+ application is not recognising the chip?
Or,
You have a TBL+ bootloader, and, the PICKit is not recognising the chip?

I have not tested that personally, I know it works. But, just use the PK2 Windows GUI Application to resolve.
OK, but where do I find the TMB bootloader hex file for the 16F877A?
Many thanks for your support - the bootloader is now working well!
Excellent!!!
