PCW IDW vers 3.214 and MPLAB IDE vers 7.0 integration

Jimharris · Guest

I am trying to use PCW IDE with MPLAB IDE and I am not sure that it
has integrated properly. I compile the ex_usb_mouse.c example with
apparent success. i.e. hex file is generated, etc. but when I program
the 16C765 it appears that the hex file is not the file that is loaded to
my PIC-Mate II programmer.( Nothing works)

The C765 does not have a clock running ( I don't see an oscillation at the OCS1 and OSC2 pins) and so I am guessing that the
configuration bits have not been programmed.

How can I tell which *.hex file is being loaded when I program the part?
I know this sounds like a MPLAB question but I am not sure that
MPLAB and PCW are talking, how do I confirm this?

What is the proper way to transition to MP LAB after PCW finishes a compile?

Thanks, Jim

I compile inside the MPLAB IDE. Then you don't have to worry about it. I don't know anything about "integrating" CCS IDE into MPLAB. You can have MPLAB invoke the compiler though. If you are just trying to program with MPLAB, then you will have to set the device type and then goto the File menu and use the Import menu item and select the proper hex file.

I have the same problem, the compiler works OK,
but don't know how to get back to MPLAB 7.

MPLAB halted on first failed and my osc stops too!!!!
I must be very silly

Please post the solution if you figure it out.

-- I have the same issue, the oscillator did not work and PCW did not transition back to MP LAB,
I change the tool suite from CCS compiler to >> CCS compiler for PIC12,16,18 and the compiler works great.

hi all,

am using MPLAB 7.31 and CCSC copiler version 3.1.0.23. while building the project a warning is diaplayed mentioning "failed to load". But the build was successful.

the build options shows "the comiler version is too old for this MPLAB". is there any solution for this..

please post ur replies...

I believe they changed the COFF format for support for C18 v3.0. If you check the readme file for the IDE:
