16F886 (illegal opcode CONFIG1)

[Darrel Taylor]

Are you sure you have the 16F886 selected in the Microcontroller dropdown box of MicroCode Studio?

16F886 is in the dropdown window! yep!

Under View > Compile and Program Options > Assembler tab ...
Is the path above the Find buttons ... C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPASM Suite or C:\Program Files (x86)\Microchip\MPASM Suite for 64-bit systems?

If not, click the Find manually button and point it there.
MicroCode Studio will usually find the wrong path if you have more than one MPASMWIN on your computer.

My path is C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPASM Suite. Yes, I am aware of this Gottcha! I had to deal with it a few years ago. I double checked it to make sure something didn't revert back to the Wrong MPASM. This just doesn't make any since. I even tried to use @config (0x20F4) but that didn't work either. I also checked my spellling four times to make sure... what else?

[MOUNTAIN747]

Darrel, On the assembler tab page, what is INH8XM, INH8XS, and INHX32?

[Darrel Taylor]

Those specify the .HEX file format and should not be changed.
Later versions of MicroCode Studio have removed those options.

Please send me your .LST file after a failed compile.

You'll have to explain how I send it to you. I can't use Private Message.
