Brown-out symbol not accepted.

[thronborg]

Hi
I use PBC 2.60B
I have some problem with the following code. It was written for PIC16F877A but i want to run it with a PIC16F887.

I have read the data for the PIC16F688 but i cant figure out if it is BOR_OFF or BOREN_OFF i should use. Anyhow non of them semes to work.

I got the error:

Error PBC3.ASM 146 : [225] UNDEFINED SYMBOL "BOR.OFF"


Thank you for any help.

Hello thronborg,
You will find in your Directory named MPASM suite text files representing every PIC covered by that version of mpasm, and in these text files lie ALL the registers and config fuses available to that particular chip. From the P16F887 file you will find the following:

Be aware many of these chips have multiple config, config1 config2, and the appropriate configs must attach to the config numbers where they are listed (the 887 is one of those). See the listing above, notice the _bor21v in the config2 listing . . .

Since you are using the @ DEVICE statement, it means you are using the old PM assembler.

The files for the PM assembler are located in the INC subfolder of your PBP folder.
In there you will find the M16F88X.INC file, which has all of the available configuration options.

In the case of the 16F887, it's BOD_OFF.

Hi
Thank you very much for the quick answer.
I think its about the 2 different compiler you can choose that confuse me.

I am running PBP 2.6.0B on a MacBookPro with Windows XP. My Mac is 64bit but i have no clue if Windows XP run 32 or 64bit.

At the moment i run the MPASM that was installed together with PROTEUS.

I am a newbie so what is your experience, is it better to choose the MPASM or the MP compiler?

Thanks Thronborg

[Darrel Taylor]

In the current and future versions of PBP, the PM assembler has been discontinued.
So it's probably best to write your code using the MPASM options, for future compatibility.

The PM assembler only worked with standard 12 and 14-bit core devices (12F,16F).
So for enhanced 14-bit cores (12F1,16F1) or 18F's, you had to switch to MPASM anyhow.
And since MPASM handles all of the chips, there's really no reason to be switching back and forth between assemblers.

Thank you very much for the info Darrel.

Time to upgrade now! :smile:

Even if you do not upgrade you can use mpasm as your compiler, just fill in the check box marked use MPASM, under View . . . Compile and Program . . . Assembler
