CCS-MPLAB Plugin |
Posted: Mon Sep 12, 2005 3:33 pm |

I have been using MPLAB 7.21 & PCM 3.212 with no problems. I just installed PCH 3.233 into another directory (PCM & PCH are different versions) and MPLAB doesn't see the CCS tool suite anymore.
Do I just need to re-install the plug-in?
Is the plug-in version sensitive to either MPLAB or the CCS compiler?
Thanks |

Yes, you have to re-install the plug-in. It will prompt you for the new directory.
Everytime a new version of CCS gets released, then i re-install the plug-in into that specific directory each time. |

OK, got past that hurdle, then Grrrrrrr.
I complied a short program and got:
Clean: Deleting intermediary and output files.
Clean: Deleted file "C:\Documents and Settings\mcabeflusc\My Documents\18FSerial\18FSerial.mcs".
Clean: Done.
Executing: "C:\Program Files\PCH\PICC\Ccsc.exe" "18FSerial.c" +FH +DF +LN +T -A +M +Z +Y=9 +EA
Error: The selected compiler: "PCH" is not installed on this PC
Halting build on first failure as requested.
BUILD FAILED: Mon Sep 12 14:52:01 2005
I had just installed PCH into a separate directory (Programs\PCH\PICC) which maybe confusing it.
Suggestions? |

I've had the same problem "PCH not installed..."
It's because you forgot to put the "pch.crg" file in the directory before you installed PCH.
So here are the steps i usually follow:
Suppose the version is PCH 3.230
1. Create a folder C:\Program Files\PICC_3_230\
2. Create a subfolder C:\Program Files\PICC_3_231\PICC\
3. Copy your registration file "pch.crg" to both directories above. (I'm not sure which directory the installation uses, so i copy pch.crg into both).
4. Install PCH into the directory of '2' above.
5. Install the Plug-In into the directory of Step '2' above. |

Still no joy. I didn't see why the pch.crg file had to be present BEFORE installing, so I just copied if from the PICC directory up to the PCH directory. Same problem.
Then I tried a fresh install following your procedure step by step. I copied pch.crg from the CDROM to both directories before installing PCH. Same failure:
Clean: Deleting intermediary and output files.
Clean: Deleted file "18FSerial.ERR".
Clean Warning: File "C:\Documents and Settings\mcabeflusc\My Documents\18FSerial\18FSerial.o" doesn't exist.
Clean: Deleted file "C:\Documents and Settings\mcabeflusc\My Documents\18FSerial\18FSerial.mcs".
Clean: Done.
Executing: "C:\Program Files\PCH\PICC\Ccsc.exe" "18FSerial.c" +FH +DF +LN +T -A +M +Z +Y=9 +EA
Error: The selected compiler: "PCH" is not installed on this PC

BUILD FAILED: Mon Sep 12 17:43:20 2005
Rebooted the PC and tried compiling again, same failure.
Suggestions? |

Oh i think I see why.
You are attempting to execute ccsc.exe from C:\Program Files\PICC\
but the proper ccsc.exe file resides in C:\Program Files\PICC_3_230\PICC\
To correct this, go to MPLAB,and use the pulldown menu to correct your 'language toolsuite':
Project --> Select Language Toolsuite
Use the 'browse' button to correct the directory from where you're pulling off ccsc.exe
I think that should take care of it. |

It should be in the PICC dir. |

That's where he said that he installed it. |

Well, I had to get something going. I renamed my original \PICC folder (with PCM compiler) to \PCM and installed PCH into a new \PICC directory. Then I installed the plug-in and reset the project tool location in my 18F project to \PICC. It works.
I am guessing I will have to have a PCM and a PCH directory and rename the one I want to use to PICC then reinstall the plug in and probably reset the tool path each time I switch from 16F to 18F parts.
Having PCM & PCH co-existing on the same PC with MPLAB seems like a pretty typical setup. Why does CCS make it so damn hard? |

Here are a couple of options:
1. Upgrade PCM to the same version and install into the same directory.
2. Search the forum for a post I did a few months back telling how to do this by creating a legacy third party tool suite. It requires a few bits of registry hacking but it works for me. I use it to compile with different versions of PCM compiler. |

Appreciate the suggestions. I researched this issue before buying PCH and found your post with the registry changes. Frankly it is a little more than I want to bite off. For now I will be doing 90% PCM and 10% PCH, so hopefully I won't need to switch back and forth too often. |
