Can Iupgrade an EB006 V6 to V7 to enable ICD

Post by altair625 »

I have 2 off EB006 programmer boards that are V6. I am using Flowcode 5 and Itried to enable the ICD function but I just get a message saying the programmer board needs V7. Can I upgrade the programmer board software to version 7 so as to allow the ICD to function
Regards
Tim

Hi Tim,

Sorry the EB006 v7 and onwards has upgraded hardware and firmware to help support the ghost features.

A v6 board cannot be upgraded to a v7 board.

From memory the various revisions brought in.

v7 - ICD support & PICkit header
v8 - Charge Pump - Reprogramming without requiring 12V supply
v9 - ICT support & 3V3 operation support

The Flowkit 2 device will allow you to add ICD and ICT functionality to an EB006 but it might simply be easier to get one of the newer v9 EB006 boards.
