Installing PBP3.1 with MPLAB 8 AND MPLABX

[Dave]

MikeBZH, Thats interesting. I have also been doing some coding for an 18F27K40 and found that the DEBUG, EEPROM, and DATA statements do not work. I am waiting for a reply or the next version of PBP to come out before continuing. I also wish there was support for the newer versions with things like UMC Loader. So for now I will also stick with the standard 18F26K22.

Oups ! The PIC18FK22 HAS a power management capability called PMD (Peripheral Module Disable), so no more regrets for me.

Oh yes, one regret however. A crazy designer has mixed PGC/PGD and RX2/TX2 on the same pins ! How can one use USART2 and debug with PicKit at the same time ? Fortunately PBP has SERIN/SEROUT bit-bang functions which allows to use any pins and do not need the integrated USART to do the job.
