Swordfish

I forgot that the "includes" folder is one of those that gets relocated...
try looking here - "C:\ProgramData\Mecanique\Swordfish\Includes\asm_includes"

"ProgramData" is probably marked as a hidden folder, so you likely first have to unhide it.

Try under the swordfish includes folder

I think it's under the SF bin folder, wherever mpasmx.exe is

You should be able to find a copy in the asm_include folder.
Put a copy into the same folder as the. Asm file

The .asm file can be assembled using the version of mpasmx.exe that comes with swordfish in the bin folder.

The timeout is sort of built into the usart ReadByte routine... ReadByte: movlb ACCESS_BANK movlw (DEVICE_CLOCK / 1000000) ; <<< CHANGE THIS movwf Timeout_01 Changing the 'MOVLW' will get you a different timeout (DEVICE_CLOCK is in hz, so for a 64MHz that statement results in MOVLW 64)

You could reduce the amount of time it waits at startup, but that can make it a bit harder to get into the bootloader.

If you go to the product page for the part on the Microchip website you'll find links to all the current documents

David has been kind enough to make Swordfish available for free.
This is a non-expiring full version.

If you're still talking about internal EEPROM in a 18F27Q43, the current datasheet (DS40002147H) specs it at 100K cycles (parameter MEM20)

are you saying this data doesn't get stored in eeprom ?

What I'm saying is that the bootloader doesn't support programming eeprom data from the hex file, so any initialization statements (like EEPROM = ) won't have an effect. 'EEPROM =' initialization doesn't produce any runtime code

I don't recall the UMC loader app supporting programming EEPROM (but I could be wrong).
I know the code in the .asm bootloader file has it disabled...

check your PM.

is it likely to be some kind of context saving issue ? It could be, depending on if you're trying to format and send the data inside the timer event. I wouldn't recommend that. Also, calling those timer setup routines (timer.initialize, timer,start) inside the timer event isn't a good idea. The eve...

The ConfigGenerator tool has gotten a facelift and some new features. It now allows you to import and export the settings to a file (it can even scan an existing .bas file for current settings). Another new feature is the ability to read the CONFIG settings from an existing .hex file, which can be h...
