| Chip runs with ICD=TRUE, but code only compiles without it. |

Chip: PIC16F886
Compiler Version: 4.095
IDE: MPLAB 8.33
I'm very curious as to the details of what "#fuses ICD=TRUE" does exactly.
When programming with an ICD2, I need "ICD=TRUE" in there or else the chip won't start itself after a power reset. But "ICD=TRUE" also kills me today, because my program that suddenly fit with 8% ROM left, no longer fits when "ICD=TRUE". The routine sizes seem atrociously larger once I put that in.
I believe it's the debugging overhead added to the program, I'd like to take this out because I don't need to step through my program at this point. I've tried "#fuses NODEBUG", but to no avail.
What exactly is going on here? |

You want to make it work in Standalone mode.
1. Remove the #device ICD=TRUE statement.
2. Go into the MPLAB Project Build Options menu, and "untick" the
box for "Compile for use with ICD Debugger".
3. Remove the DEBUG fuse from your #fuses statement.
4. Re-compile.
5. Go to the MPLAB Programmer menu (not the Debugger menu)
and connect to the device.
6. Program it from within the Programmer menu (not the Debugger menu).

Also, I'm curious about vs. 4.095. The CCS versions page shows
the latest version is 4.093. Also the Updates page shows vs. 4.093.
Do you really have 4.095 ? If so, where have you looked to see the
version number ? |

I may be forgetful. I thought the latest version was 4.096, but remember not having that one. It's actually 4.093 (confirmed with ccsc.exe /v).
I removed ICD=TRUE, that check-box for "Compile for use with ICD Debugger" was already unchecked (which is weird, because I know I've debugged before), and I've put in "#fuses NODEBUG" to ensure that debugging doesn't make it in.
I'm currently using these flags.
| Code: | #fuses NODEBUG,INTRC_IO,NOWDT,BROWNOUT,NOFCMEN,NOIESO,MCLR
#device ADC=10
#device ANSI
#use delay(internal=8M)
#use fast_io(B) |
Edit: The verification method I'm using is lazy. I'll put in a line or two to blink an LED to make sure it's not a problem with my code. But I'm so very certain it's an odd behavior with debug and ICD. |

Post a small but complete "Hello World" program. Confirm that it fails
in your environment.
I'm downloading MPLAB 8.33 now and will duplicate your environment.
But I need a small test program from you. (That compiles without errors). |

Bah. Test program worked in stand-alone mode. I guess it really is a problem with the large program. Thanks for your time.
Edit: Suddenly it works? You fixed it! Or more distressingly, the break is still lurking around somewhere. |
