BUG With MPLAB 8.89 ...

[Darrel Taylor]

This issue affects all languages. It is not specific to PicBasic Pro.
It only affects the Enhanced core devices (12F1xxx and 16F1xxx).

Programs are compiled correctly, but non-critical messages are reported.

Those messages can be supressed with ...

#HEADER
  errorlevel -303  ; suppress Program word too large
#ENDHEADER

Hopefully Microchip will fix it.
If not, PBP will need to suppress it by default.

Programs are compiled correctly, but non-critical messages are reported.

Thank you Darrel ...
as we ( mere mortals ) do not have possibility to verify compilation is correct ...

This seems to be a permenant problem with MPLAB now.

So with PBP 3.0.7.x and later, all [303] messages will be suppressed on the Enhanced core devices.

If you are getting the "Program word too large. Truncated to core size." messages ... update your version of PBP3.
Or, Even if you're not getting those messages ... update your version of PBP3.

If you already have PBP3, the updates are free. So keep it up to date.

After updating to 3.0.7.4 I get

ERROR: Unable to execute MPASMWIN.

My MPLAB is 8.85, does it matter?

Hi, Ioannis

as the " bug " was linked to the lasts revs of MPLAB ... seems obvious you have to update MPLAB ...

Everything fine here with MPLAB 8.90 and MCSPX ...

Hi Alain. Yes it compiles OK now. I am in general reluctant to update MPLAB with no apparent reason.

Of course now it (MPLAB) does not "see" my Pickit3...

Thanks,

I played somewhat with my PK3 and the 18F45K20 demo board, from MPLAB IDE ...

no problem noticed ... what happens to you ?

BTW ... MPLAB became 8.91 version, now ...
