Reading Device ID from within PBP

[mister_e]

yes indeed that was simple to read the PIC ID using one part of the Darrel's code and a 18F4680

    '   READING pic18f4680 DEVICE ID
    '
    DEFINE OSC 20
    DEFINE LOADER_USED 1
    DEFINE HSER_RCSTA 90h ' Enable serial port & continuous receive
    DEFINE HSER_TXSTA 24h ' Enable transmit, BRGH = 1
    DEFINE HSER_SPBRG 129 ' 9600 Baud @ 20MHz, 0.16%
    DEFINE HSER_CLROERR 1 ' Clear overflow automatically
    ID1 var byte
    ID2 var byte
    GOTO START

@  #include "RTconfig.inc"

START:  
    @ ReadConfig?CB _DEVID1, _ID1
    @ ReadConfig?CB _DEVID2, _ID2
    HSEROUT ["DEVID1=",HEX ID1,"    DEVID2=",HEX ID2]
    STOP

Serial communicator show...

DEVID1=82    DEVID2=0E

Using a my programmer to read the device, i have...

Somehow interesting. i bet you will be able to change and create your own device ID in the ID locations at run time as well. Nice place to save the software version...
