Technical Support

(01/26/2009) Microchip's MPLAB version 8.15a appears to be the last version that will support COD file functionality. This means that PBP will generate errors in MPLAB version 8.20 and later. The errors appear as:

ERROR: Unable to access file...
Error processing COD file...


We will be releasing a new version of PBP with COFF file compatibility in response to this surprise move by Microchip. In the meantime, MPLAB version 8.15a is available for download here:
