Regarding programming

siva · Guest

I hope any one will help me.

I have done a program for one application based on 16F87. I have boot program.hex and system.hex. I dont know how to program both the hex files in the Flash memory.

I am using MPLAB IDE v6.60 with CCS compiler.
My programmer is MPLAB ICD 2.

Write a program that combines program.c and system.c and compile that.

The easiest is to program the boot program and then use the bootloader to upload the system.

i've never used a bootloader on a pic, but i am long overdue in trying it out.

But the first thing i would do is to try to flash the PIC directly with the main program and see if it works. Disregard the bootloader for now.

Unless of course you cannot re-compile the main program to not use the bootloader. Then you'd have to do what Mark says.
