Problems with PIC24F and Config-Bits

[richi-d]

Always when I press the Build all button this Error Message pops up:

"The configuration bits in the file are invalid and may cause problems if programmed.
Do you want to set them to their default value?
Please note that you will need to either rebuild the file or export memory again to correct the file."

I use MPLABIDE8.10 and 8.30, Real ICE (same with ICD2), Compiler Version 4.089. PIC24FJ128GA106...

When I press in the message the "YES" Button I can read "Build succeed", if I press "NO" also "Build succeed"

Debugging is not possible!!

Here the configuration bits:
//#FUSES FRC_PLL,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,DEBUG,NOCOE,NOIESO,NOPR

I tried it with and without //

Whats wrong?

The message is caused by the fact, that PCD still don't know how to set all configuration bits, also the unused ones, correctly according to the Microchip specification. I experienced, that MPLAB with ICD2 always corrected them, while PICkit 2 standalone software didn't, which apparently may result in non operational code in some cases. The problem has been reported to CCS since long.

No operation of debug is most likely not caused by this problem rather than selecting the wrong ICSP interface. With some PIC24F devices, the selection had been coded wrong, although it's correct with PIC24F128GA106 to my opinion. In any case, you may want to check and possibly adjust the configuration bits in MPLAB, cause PCD has introduced more errors with coding of configuration bits in #fuses, e.g. regarding memory protection bits.

Hi,

thank you! I can debug now. The PGEC setting was wrong! This is my first PIC24... I´m not used to look for this...

Thanks a lot
