PBP and PBPL

[mackrackit]

To be honest I have not played with USB yet, so I may be full of it as usual... but I may have found a solution.

I'm using PIC 18F4550
You say that you may have found solution... Are you referring to the 18F4550.BAL? If so then the solution is not there, because I have that file in C:\PBP directory. If you are pointing to something else, please let me know what you are pointing at! Thank you anyway for trying to help me on this matter...

You can see the code that can be compiled without errors with PBP but not with PBPL...

...So, do you have any other suggestions, how to proceed from here...?

You can't put these lines in your program.

BANKA   $0000, $005F
BANK0   $0060, $00FF
BANK1   $0100, $01FF
BANK2   $0200, $02FF
BANK3   $0300, $03FF
BANK4   $0400, $04FF
BANK5   $0500, $05FF
BANK6   $0600, $06FF
BANK7   $0700, $07FF

They are in that .bal file Dave was talking about.

And you need the .bal in the USB18 folder, not the one in the PBP folder.

Thanks Darrel!

I'm confused, I have the same file in both places and when comparing them, they are equal. I do not know how there could be a difference between a file that is in two places, they should be equal, shouldn't they?
If they aren't equal, which one is more valid, or 100% valid?

Maybe I have overwritten one? Could this be possible?????

The problem here is not yet solved, but thank you all for your help so far.

I will take a brake and will be back again after 8 days, in the meanwhile I shall .... don't be envious ... perhaps I tell you afterwords what I did during those 8 days...

It's very likely that you've overwritten one.
Here's what they should look like...

If they aren't equal, which one is more valid, or 100% valid?

They are both 100% valid.
One is used for USB, the other is used for NON USB programs.

Thank you Darrel, you have sharp eyes and clearly a brain behind those eyes!

I'm back from a nice one week refreshing holiday, with new energy...

After correcting my own mistake (overwriting 18F4550.bal) there was “real” progress , reduced the amount of errors [126] and warnings [220] to only four, but brought back “an old problem”...
“ERROR: Macro USBINIT? Not found in macro file”
and those three other errors also (usbservice,usbin,usbout).

Searched around this thread “ERROR: Macro USBINIT? Not found in macro file” and read every mail that was somehow related to this situation and the only difference I could find was that PBPUSB18.MAC should be in C:\PBP\USB18 directory. I checked that and did not find PBPUSB18.MAC file in C:\PBP\USB18 directory. Why did my USB work earlier without that file in USB18 directory?

So to try something I dropped a copy of it there, as advised somewhere around here, but unfortunately it did not help this kind of an old problem... I had USB working earlier with PBP but what now when trying to get PBPL working?

Any suggestions how to proceed from here?

WELLL.... make me turn green <hr />

The compiler doesn't actually look in the USB18 folder.

Any files in that folder that are needed for your program should be COPIED into the same folder as your project.

And your project should not be in the PBP folder. It should be in it's own separate folder somewhere else.

The macro not found error usually means that it's not finding LIBRARY "PBPUS18L" in the .bal file. If you haven't COPIED the .bal file from the USB18 folder into your project folder, then it finds the one in the PBP folder, which has the wrong library line commented.
