Converting PCH bootloader to PCD

[Vamsi]

I am trying to use bootloader for PIC18F for PIC24H.

Replaced RS232 pin numbers, fuses.
Replaced erase_program_eeprom to erase_program_memory (Looks like PCD doesnt support erase_program_eeprom).

You have to change a lot more. Handling of interrupts is basically different with PIC24/30/33 and must be considered when writing a bootloader. CCS has a PCD bootloader example with the loader placed in high program memory. Personally I don't like it, cause it isn't fail safe. A protected bootloader however requires to set all interrupt vectors used in the application to fixed addresses.

Where can i find the PCD example? I dont find it in C:\Programfiles\PICC\examples.

Thank you.
