Installation instructions: 1. Copy the file setup_ccsload.tar to the installation directory (for example /usr/local/picc) 2. Extract the files using the command: tar -xf setup_ccsload.tar 3. If it does not already exist create a /etc/ccsc.ini file with the install directory like this: r="/usr/local/picc/" This can be done by running the createccsini script. 4. From the install directory enter the following command: mv libborqt-6.9-qt2.3.so /usr/lib/libborqt-6.9-qt2.3.so If you do not want to copy the file into /usr/lib then you can run the program with the ccsload_run script instead. 5. If you are using a USB device programmer verify the FDTI drivers make the device appear as a serial port when plugged into the PC. If not see this page for help: http://ccsinfo.com/faq.php?page=linux_icdu 6. Connect the device programmer to the PC and enter a command like the following to test: ./ccsloader port=com1 +test 7. Connect your target board to the device programmer and try: ./ccsloader port=com1 +test=PIC16F887 8. Help can be brought up like this: ./ccsloader --help This uses a web browser for help access.
