HOw do I keep my EEprom Data

[kitcat]

Hi
I want to upgrade my pic programm but I have some data stored in EEprom that I want to keep. With MPLAB IDE v6.6 how do I retain the data when I compile and load a new program?

Thanks

Some of the better programmers & programming software give you the option of NOT overwriting things like EEPROM contents, or Config Fuse Settings, or Oscillator Calibration Bits etc etc when burning a new program. Hopefully yours is like that. With cheaper programmers you lose all these goodies which an be really important in the long term.

Hi, Kitkat

A very simple way is to read the device ( if readable ... humour ), do a compile and program it ... if no special writing to the EEPROM is done by the source, the EEPROM window remains unchanged ... in MPLAB all versions !!!
Open the EEPROM Window ... to be sure.

I currently do so ...

and that's what you want ...
