MPLAB and ICD2
Hi All:
Presently I am working with Proton compiler. I use MPLAB as my editor and never load the IDE that came with Proton. I find that I can debug code at the assembly level using ICD2. Most of my development starts out with a PICDEM2 board or others in the Microchip family. I have two needs:
1. The Proton compiler was supplied with Crownhill files that facilitated using MPLAB and I would appreciate help in achieving the same results with Swordfish.
2. I have looked at the Swordfish IDE and may find that useful, so I will need to install ICD2 and would appreciate the entries necessary to add this programmer under the "Install New Programmer" section of the Swordfish IDE.
Thanks,
Rocky

You should be able to all with SF as you can with Proton in Mplabs. The only difference you cannot compile from with in Mplabs, you can still import files in though.
As for the ICD2 as Dave said what are the command lines for it. Perhaps you can point to a third party app that can control the ICD2 outside mplabs.
Alternatively look at the pickit2 it's an ICD and a programmer. Very reasonably priced and I think pin compatible with the ICD2.

I've posted a console (command line) based version of Swordfish which can be downloaded from here.
http://www.sfcompiler.co.uk/wiki/pmwiki ... User.MPLAB
It also contains some basic information on how to integrate Swordfish into MPLAB. Note that the console application is BETA. I have therefore taken the decision to just release the Special Edition (SE) version for the time being.
The good news is that the RAM limitation of the console version is now 256 bytes (rather than 200). The 256 RAM limit will become standard in future versions of the SE compiler.
I would greatly appreciated any feedback from anyone who has posted or shown an interest in this thread, regarding any of the above...
