erase_program_eeprom

[ws]

I'm using MPLAB V7.00 and PCB,PCH,PCW V3.214.

But when i try to use the build in function erase_program_eeprom, the compiler display following message:

*** Error 12 "C:\Documents and Settings\d01v1.c" Line 218(1,21): Undefined identifier erase_program_eeprom

Anyone have any idea why this happening ?

Thanks and help is appreciate.

You didn't say what PIC you're using. Look at the top of the
Readme.txt file. It says that erase_program_eeprom() is not
available on all chips.

The Readme.txt file is in this folder: c:\Program Files\Picc

I'm using a PIC16F877

For the 16F877, FLASH_ERASE_SIZE and FLASH_WRITE_SIZE both = 2,
so according to the Readme.txt file, the erase_program_memory()
function is not supported.

I'm not familiar with the erase_program_eeprom function, I might have an older compiler version, but I use the 16f877 and have a bootloader using the write_program_eeprom and read_program_eeprom functions. What are you trying to accomplish with your code?

I try to write some data to the program memory as I have used up all my eeprom.

When I try to use the read/write_program_eeprom() function and test that alone, everything seems alright. But, as long as I merge that into a bigger code, seems like my data didn't get to write to the program memory. That why I think erase_program_memory() might help.

Just curious did I need to caution of anything if i wanna do the write program memory thing? I mean like disable an interrupt or some time delay?

i have try to disable some interrupt and try some delay too, so if anyone can help, i would really appreciate about it.
