Bootloader for PIC16F886
PostPosted: Wed Feb 23, 2011 7:14 am     Reply with quote

I was wondering is anyone has any clue as to why the program below for a bootloader wouldnt compile on CCS compiler. The error I get is "The segment or program is too large real_load_program". The program is just a modification of the example program from the CCS examples. Please help me.
Code:

#include <16F886.h>
#fuses XT,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,NOLVP
#use delay(clock=4000000)
#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7)  // Jumpers: 8 to 11, 7 to 12

#define _bootloader

I started to analyze your code but then I stopped. Why can't you leave
the code in the same basic format that CCS uses in Ex_bootloader.c ?
In other words, you shoulde have #include files, and a small main program.

The way you have it posted, I have to pull up each include file and set up
two windows in an editor, side by side, and try to figure out what you have
changed.

If you follow the CCS format, it would be easier for us (me) to debug.

Thanks for your reply.

You will have the compilation error even if you have the original format of the ex_bootloader.c source code and change the device ID.

It seems that the compilation of the PIC16F886 is different from the PIC16F877 though the specification might look the same. Somehow, the code is bigger in case of 16F886 as compared with 16F877.

Therefore all i had to do was to change the LOADER_END and LOADER_SIZE values as well as the #ORG addresses in front of the void main(void) and all is well. It compiles.

I got the code to compile with the help of the CCS compiler support staff.

But now I have another problem. When I use this bootloader to upload an application, it doesnt store the content in the locations specified. I am still trying to debug it.

Thanks once again.
