Product Support

  • This application runs on the PIC18LF25K50 and programs/interfaces to the PIC16F18855.

  • The input (file) parsing algorithm is compatible with all PIC16/PIC18 INTEL Hex files produced by the MPLAB XC8 compiler.

  • The programming algorithm is currently supporting only the new 8-bit LVP-ICSP protocol common to the PIC16F188xx (5 digit) devices. It is also assuming a fixed row size of 32 words.

  • The default serial interface does not support hardware handshake although this feature can be enabled if required.

Folder Structure

  • MPLAB.X - contains the main application source files

  • framework - elements of the MLA - USB and File System open source libraries (note: the MSD portion has been customised to reduce considerably RAM usage)

  • utilities - contains the Windows signed drivers for the Virtual COM port (OS X and Linux users do not need it)

  • bsp - board support package (currently only the XPRESS evaluation board)
