As MPASM no longer supports the new Microchip PICs there was a need to create a new solution that uses the Microchip PIC-AS compiler.

This mega task has been completed - Microchip have helped as there were many issues with using PIC-AS including case sensitive, priorities of calculation, new register.bit naming and HEF/SAF memory.

After many months of work I have completed the project and I will now provide new bootloaders using PIC-AS (rather than MPASM). This year I will move the production of bootloaders to a website to make it very easy.

I have used the 16F17126 as the example but as the process of coding is structured the code will work on any PIC supported by PIC-AS.

Please contact me for bootloaders.

This is report from the process. This shows the PROGMEM usage and show that the new bootloader is less than 100 words.
