programming USB micro controller without programmer
Posted: Thu May 22, 2014 12:48 pm
Hi,
I am new with PIC microcontroller I used programmers like PICKIT 2 and 3 for my projects and I didn't have any problem.
but in my new project I don't have any programmer So I want to use MicroController's that have On Chip USB like PIC18F46J50, I think it is possible to program them with USB Cable without any programmer. is it true? how I can do this? CCS support this feature?
any help would be greatly appreciated _________________ every thing is possible if you want...

See this CCS example file:
c:\program files\picc\examples\ex_usb_bootloader.c

However, you will still need to use a programmer at least once.
See this note from the ex_usb_bootloader.c file:
Quote:
//// This program must be loaded into a target chip using a device
//// programmer. Afterwards this program may be used to load new
//// versions of the application program. There is a specific
//// protocol used by the bootloader, SIOW.EXE uses this protocol
//// if you use the 'Download Software' option.
