[Usbpicprog-technical] Bootloader hexfile format

[David C. <da...@in...>]

I'm trying to burn the bootloader to the PIC18F2550 using a JDM programmer and the picprog software (http://hyvatti.iki.fi/~jaakko/pic/picprog.html ) on Linux, but I am having problems.

Running
	picprog --burn -i Boot.hex -p /dev/ttyS0
I get
	"Boot.hex:146:invalid input line.
	Are you sure this is an 8 or 16 bit intel hex file?"

This is an 32-bit hex format, right? My understanding is that picprog should be able to handle these files. I have tried the Boot.hex file in the latest SVN, as well as recompiling in piklab using the MCC18 libraries. Even though the project builds/compiles succesfully in piklab, I get the same error as above when I try to actually burn the bootloader to the PIC.

I realise this is quite possibly a picprog program rather than a problem with the bootloader, but I thought someone here might be able to offer some input (+ picprog doesn't have a mailing list).

Just to follow up on this ...

It hadn't occured to me that I could use piklab itself to program the PIC. I didn't realise it supported JDM-style programmers. Selecting the "Direct programmer" option and programming, however, it seems to have succeeded (although I haven't verified this yet.)

So, in retrospect, this was slightly off-topic - apologies.

Ok, good news! I was already thinking of a good answer.

Kind regards,
