Post by thread:[PIC]: Programming difficulties

Hi every one here. I am working on a project for which I am using a PIC 16F877 I wrote (take) a program and complied it with MPLAB IDE. It has generated among others a HEX file. Using a third party programmer, After putting this HEX file into the buffer of the Programmer (using the programmer own software) when I checked the buffer the Hex file gives totally different value. I checked the Programmer software and set the format to different types eg. Intel, Hex ,motorla but none of the Formats seems to match the one generated by the MPLAB. Am I doing something wrong or this suppose to be like this?. However, I burned the program into the PIC16F877. (firing a shot in the dark experiment ) It didn t worked. Can any body shade some light into this Thank you in advace Aslam _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!

AFAIK, it is Intel format (one of a few variations). Basicaly, here is the description: http://www.8052.com/tutintel.phtml I have successfully parsed it according to this spec, used in my variant of Myke Predko's programmator and it worked. Dmitriy {Original Message removed}

Hi dimitriy, thank for reply I checked the page and find some useful infos. I mange to see the Hex file in the programmer's Buffer. The problem was that the programmer was configured to show the buffer file in some different format, so, when I configure it to intel HEX, every thing were shown as it was generated by the MPASM except the last tow digits. These last two digits are basically the check sum. the application is still not runnign but I guess it would be the code rather then the programmer. I will enter today a simple LED blinking code to see if it is working. Thanks for your help any way.
