Protect eeprom during programming

[duncan303]

Has anyone an idea how this can be solved?

you could ask Wouter van Ooijen himself. to introduce more commands than bulk erase.

you could consider purchasing a programmer that will allow you do you what you want

Curious... Do you use PIC Basic?

Thanks for your reply !

I'm using Pic Basic Pro 2.5

I've already contacted Wouter a few days ago, it's not included for the moment and it could take months before he has the time to do it.

Which programmer should i use that allows this feature?

Thanks

Hi Wilbert

Welcome to the forum ,

Thanks for welcoming me

I'm using Microcode Studio in combination with MPLAB. I would like to find a good in circuit programmer.

Many thanks for your help, this is really appreciated !

In MPLAB click programmer in the tool bar. Then click settings. There you will find the place to not erase the EEPROM.

ISCP = PICKIT2 from MICROCHIP.
Also has a way not to erase the EEPROM during programming.

Thanks Dave !

I just looked online and the Pickit2 seems to me a good solution. I will buy one.

Best regards

It is a good solution. It's also a InCircuitDebugger, EEPROM programmer, and the standalone PC software also give you a free SerialCommunication terminal. No need Max232. Can be integrated in MicroCodeStudio programmer list as well.
