Can't #DEVICE *=16 on latest compiler

[Joe Porthouse]

This is very frustrating. Every time I upgrade my compiler I spend a day chasing down incompatabilities between my previously working code and the new compiler.

#include <16F877.h>
#DEVICE PIC16F877 *=16
#fuses hs,wdt,noprotect,put,brownout,nolvp

Generates an “Error 23 - Can not change device type this far into the code” on the #device line.

Removing the line I get “Not enough RAM for all variables”.

How do I get the *=16 onto this device?

I think this is bacause the device name is also in the header file. Change your line to remove the part type like,

#DEVICE *=16

and make sure that the header also does not have a *=16 in it.

That did it, thanks.
