MB 4.50 beta : 96k bootloader ?

[Kalain]

Hi,

Please do not forget 96k bootloader for PIC like 18F4685.

Thanks

[Kalain]

MB 4.60 is out but no 96k bootloader provided !!!
(Advertise says "Bootloader for all 16/18 Mcu....)

Is there someone which can tell me how to use one provided bootloader for 18F4685 ?

Thanks.

I use this bootloader for PIC18 dsPIC both versions the UART or CAN
however mostly the CAN,

You need to modify nothing in mikro Compiler just compile the Boot loader of you choice program the
device with the boot loader and from now on just compile your mikro code as normal and boot load the device
hope this helps you

@Peter
The CAN - Bootloader: how does he function?
I need a PC with RS232 and a processor, with RS232 and CAN?
But if I have several controllers with CAN, I want programmimg the 11. Controllers CAN-Node over the CAN-Bus.
How does this go, must the 11. Controller having RS232?

If one addresses somebody directly:

No answer is impolite. Is it arrogance?

Or if was the question of a beginner too silly to answer?



Has found just the Microchip software Maestro.

With this tool i can edit the CAN-Bus boot loader: AN247 as well.

Does somebody have experiences with it?

Is this a good tool?

Best regards Orga

Hi Peter,

I'm ready to implement bootloader on my device. (18F4685 96k)
I just received today my USB UART Board from ME.

I use this bootloader for PIC18 dsPIC both versions the UART or CAN
however mostly the CAN,

You need to modify nothing in mikro Compiler just compile the Boot loader of you choice

Which (ds30loader) file has to be compiled ?

I expected to find in ds30loader folders an .hex fil (which would be boot loader compiled program), same as you can find in ...\mikroBasic PRO for PIC 4.60\Examples\Other\Bootloader\P18\64K folder.

Thanks for your time.

Regards

Dear Orga
I humbly appologise I did not see your question regarding the Boot loader until today,
I did not post offen in the Basic forum the last 2 - 3 months and dit not even look at the beta Forum
I am very sorry about this it has nothing to do with a beginner I myself is a beginner in many aspects


Dont use the microchip CAN bootloader it is not easy to use

The CAN - Bootloader: how does he function?
I need a PC with RS232 and a processor, with RS232 and CAN?
But if I have several controllers with CAN, I want programmimg the 11. Controllers CAN-Node over the CAN-Bus.

To use the CAN bootloader you need a PC and a CAN interface Dongle from one of the following companies
(1) PeakCAN
(2) IAXXT
(3) Kvaser
(4) Vector informatik
The cheapest and best one is the PeakCAN,
then you compile the supplied File from ds30 and program the device with the hex file after that you use the ds30 Downloader Tool to program your own hex files
over CAN .(your device connects to your PC through the CAN dongle and the loader Program connects to the Dongle )

The cheapest to use is the UART bootloader as you need only a serial port or VSM virtual seriel port

When you install the package from ds30 ,it installs folders for the different devices PIC18 ,dsPIC ect
in the PIC18 you find a MPLAB project with all the needed files ,you need only to set a couple of things in this file
as explained in the Documentation such as the baurd rate and the USART to use 1 or 2 then you compile the project
and you will find in the folder a .hex file which you program into the device with a programmer.
also in the instalation is ds30 Downloader you use this ds30 downloader to program the device with your own hex files using the Bootloader

All the documentaion is also installed when you install the ds30 package
it is easy to use and works well with the mikroE compiler generated code as you do not have to modify the startup code as with other bootloader

Hope this helps you

Peter,

Thanks for explanations but still experience some trouble with 18F4685!

I will move to ds30loader forum for this.

On the other hand, I also try to modify ME 128k bootloader code in 96k bootloader.

Thanks

Do that I will pick it up there and try to help !
however mackey will certainly help out !¨
