PIC18F4685 configuration bits ?

[esher]

Hi all, i've got strange chinese pic programmer (G540) which supports 4685 chip at last.

I can load hex and burn it, but sofware can't read chip configuration bits (or fuses) from hex (i doubt if they really exist in hex).

The line of fuses now looks (in hex):

 

0007 1F1F 8285 3FC0 3FE0 3F40

 

Without proper fuses i can't really start testing new board because i dont know if the chip programmed correctly or not.

 

Any help?

 

edit: i found screenshot which shows me configuration bits but i have 2 bytes less than on my config windows:

 

0600 130F 8000 00B1 C03F E03F 403F

 

 

 

 

 

edit2: ok, i found that configuration on the screenshot is working.

After testing with these config bits (0006 0f13 0080 3fc0 3fe0 3f40), i had come to new strange thing.

 

The board on which i testing the 4685 chip, old 452 chip working fine, detected by MIOS Studio, MIOS uploading and screen telling me "ready". Ok.

But with 4685 i receive only "FF"s instead of "f0 00 00 7e 40 00 0f 00 00 f7".

 

there it is:

 

 

 

 

Any hint what's going on? I tried to change FOSC3-FOSC0 to HS w/o PLL, and in that case i catch on midi input another hex "C0 00 random hex"

It could be, that your programmer doesn't clear the ID bits - in this case, the wrong baudrate will be selected.

 

There is a workaround which is documented here: http://www.ucapps.de/howto_debug_midi.html

Search for "TEST SW2"

Thanks a lot! After tens of tries to write this hex with G540, i did very simple 3-resistor serial programmer (jdm compatible), and then wrote bootloader with PICPgm. Very simple, fast, and with right ID's. Now all chips working fine.

Hi,

 

this topic is a bit older but i'm facing the same ID problem with my G540 programmer.

There is also no option in software to reconfigure the programmer so that only the first 4k block will be overwritten.

Since the baud rate is set COM, would it not be possible to upload the workaround somehow via a LTC module?

Thanks for your help.

Problem solved! 

I found a tool called PICPgm which supports my old Willem parallel port programmer  (the manufacturer software doesn´t support 18F4685)

and burned my PIC without any problems.

Have a nice day!

 

Best regards
