gnupic: Thread: MPLAB over WINE and PIC18FX52

Is there anybody working in MPLAB over wine?

I have good experience in this application to who want.
What I can say is that MPLAB only communicates with PicStart+ over an old Wine version, in this case I am using CodeWeavers Wine 06/2001


PIC18LFX52

Is there anybody using PIC18LFX52?

Microchip was not launch any bolletim to apply in PicStart+ yet. In this moment  PciStart+ does not program PIC18LF452 and others.

Is there another programmer? Specialy runnig under Linux?

I currently use PIC18C252 in my recent projects.
To develop PIC programs I code in C and asm language in MPLAB (soon with
gpsim and SDCC, I hope so...).

ic-prog is the program I'm using to download the HEX file, but because
ic-prog doesn't support PIC18 family, I've developped my own hardware (based
on a SCHAER programmer) and a specific application under Windows. The Beta
version will be quite soon available and a Linux version is developped at
this moment.

Actually I'm using PIC18C252 JW version, and I didn't know it was possible
now to get a flash version of these chips.
Could you tell me where did you get it !?

Sorry not to be able to give you more usefull information to help you.
Tell me if you find PIC18 programmer working with Linux or Windows.

PS: I'm Mentor Graphics developper and had a look on the web site of gEDA.
What you do sounds good. Good luck for your project !

	I have a good relation with our Microchip vendor here. Then he send me many news when possible, including samples of future products.

	Yesterday I tested the new Wine version and it has problems with Serial Comm, but with the old Codeweavers Wine MPLAB is working well, and we have developed many many firmwares using NO Windows environment.
	If anybody wants to know how to use MPLAB in Linux please mail me, or use this list.
	If anybody wants to know how to use gEDA mail me or visit http://geda.seul.org

I've got 2 PIC18LF452s. 44/PLCC versions.
They are engineering samples ahead of the real release of the proc.

I am having the exact same troubles with programming them.
I downloaded the latest MPLAB and the latest Picstart firmware. neither helped 
me out.

I only know of ONE way you can program those chips, I tried MPLAB 5.61 and 
Promate-II software 5.61.00. It didn't work, the promate FIRMWARE comes in 
two bits now.. I PIC18 part, and a PIC12/14/16/17 part.

So I installed the PIC18 part. no go, culdn't select PIC18F452.

interestingly, you can use an OLD version of MPLAB and OLD Promate software.
basically I used the HiTech 'C' to compile a program for PIC18C452.
then I grabbed MPLAB 5.4 (not 5.61) and imported my PIC18c code, then set the 
fuses. then I setup the Promate with firmware 5.50.0. It programmed and 
worked fine.

The code I used was ported from a PIC16f877 project I work with.
I simply adjusted the fuse settings. Removed all RAM bank references, and then 
fiddled soem of the initialisation/control register settings. Included 
INTCON1/2/3 and away I went..

lots of things were transparent, RAM location naming for UART, ADC, soem 
interrupts.. were unchanged to aid porting.. very nicely done MICROCHIP. oh, 
and more importantly, the bit-order in the control registers was also 
unchanged.

ANyway, my only problem waqs no data-EEPROM support in the compiler. but  have 
that now, with 8.12PL1 of PICC18 from hitech.
