I just received my new PBP3 and this documents seems to say that the PM assembler is no longer supported?

http://pbp3.com/downloads/Migrating%...0to%20PBP3.pdf

Please take a look and tell me I am wrong. I have used PBP for many years and change is not my favorite thing

Thanks for all of your help!

PM is now "extinct".

You have to download MPLAB X (I think), and then point to MPASM.

You don't have to use MPLAB, you only need the new assembler.

Now I am really confused! I will sleep maybe it will all make sense in the moring

Thank You

Yeah, I can see why. I think that thread is when you want to use MPLAB.

Here's what I do for PBP 2.6:

- install MPLAB.
- install PBP.
- install Microcode Studio.
- in MCS, point to PBP and MPASM.

Unless v3 has a major change in the way things work, the same should work.

Hopefully someone with v3 can chime in.

Make a separate directory for pbp3 from earlier versions so you can use both.

Thank You to everyone!

If you go into the "DEVICE_REFERENCE" folder of your PBP3 install directory you will find a bunch of files *.INFO. Find the file that relates to your PIC and open it to find a complete list of all the config options with descriptions and an example of how to use the settings in PBP3, e.g for PIC16F1509

; Available __CONFIG labels for PIC16F1509:
;
;CONFIG1 Options
;
; Oscillator Selection Bits
; _FOSC_ECH ;ECH, External Clock, High Power Mode (4-20 MHz): device clock supplied to CLKIN pins
; _FOSC_ECM ;ECM, External Clock, Medium Power Mode (0.5-4 MHz): device clock supplied to CLKIN pins
; _FOSC_ECL ;ECL, External Clock, Low Power Mode (0-0.5 MHz): device clock supplied to CLKIN pins
; _FOSC_INTOSC ;INTOSC oscillator: I/O function on CLKIN pin
; _FOSC_EXTRC ;EXTRC oscillator: External RC circuit connected to CLKIN pin
; _FOSC_HS ;HS Oscillator, High-speed crystal/resonator connected between OSC1 and OSC2 pins
; _FOSC_XT ;XT Oscillator, Crystal/resonator connected between OSC1 and OSC2 pins
; _FOSC_LP ;LP Oscillator, Low-power crystal connected between OSC1 and OSC2 pins

are the config options for the oscillator. When you install PBP3 it has the option of installing the correct assembler if not already installed.
