Dear all,

I'm confused because that v2.2 of the bootloader seems to work correctly, however the outcome is null/zero/nothing. This is how it goes: When you first open v2.2 and there you then open a hex file and then start programming it by pressing "Program/Verify", it starts and it tells you:

Erase Started (it might take several seconds)
Programming Complete
Verify Running
Erase/Program/Verify Completed Successfully

One could interpret that: first erase, then program, then verify and to the last thing tell the user that the operation has been successful.

That looks good, however, if you now moves your PIC (4550) from the testing board to your programmer and read what is in your PIC you will find out that there is just the bootloader but not your code you wanted to test.

Is v2.2 fooling you?

Has this happened to anyone else?
Do I do something wrong?
Am I blind to something here?
What can be wrong?

If you have any idea what this could indicate, please let me know.

Please help.
