CCS and interface to a PIC programmer ?

[SphinX]

Hi,

What is the best programmer that can interface to CCS PCW ?
I know Warp 13a but what for the other programmers JDM,ProPIC2 and EPIC ?

Thanks

BEST

HI,

The best is ic-prog with propic2 hardware if you are looking for free programmer

Hi Fragrance,

Can you explain how we can interface propic2+ic_prog to ccs please? I have this config but i dont know how to do it
Thanks

Under the tools menu you can configure 2 external programs with command line parameters(no matter what they are). Check ic-prog site or help file to learn how you can call ic-prog with parameters (chip type, hex file, etc)

Hi,

Here is the i-prog param.

http://www.ic-prog.com/cmdline.txt

But i still can't interface it to ccs

-p only work. but it doesn't load any hex or fuses configuration.

??

Thanks

Run IC-Prog once, without using CCS interface. Now set the correct hardware and device type. Ic-prog is now ready to use the programmer. Now go to CCS and set external programmer (under tools menu) with the correct path to ic-prog and with the following options:
-Txx (if you want to change the last device programmed)
-Lxxxx (to load the file, i'm not sure if the extension is needed or the full path)
-P (to program the file into the device)
Don't forget that IC-Prog isn't design to work with CCS, so the device type code (in -Txx) must be given by you ( when you select a device, under IC-Prog, at the right bottom side appears the device code, example for PIC16F877A(99), 99 is the code)

Hi Elavionic,

-p and -txx works fine
But -l doesn't load the hex file automaticlly.
I tried also -l%H (I assume that %H is refrence to Hex file name in ccs)

But it doesn't work !

Thanks

It should work but i'll try again.
I've tried with the last version with the following line and it work(under command line, i don't have PCW installed here).
c:>icprog -p -t99 -ltest.hex
icprog and test.hex are in the same dir. Then i tried with the source file at another dir and also work.
c:>icprog -p -t99 -l../fm_tx/test.hex
