EB006 Ver9 and FC5!

[jgu1]

Hi!

A little help needed.

Today I would compile an older project I made in the good old FC5 to a Pic16xx wich work fine with my old EB006 007. Meanwhile I bougth the new EB006 ver 9 and have used this for FC6 and FC7 fine. But when I try to compile from FC5 to EB006 Ver9 I get the message "USB cable not connected"?

I try to download the usb driver by MM. When I unzip this I see some file in it, but no install??

Does the EB006 ver. 9 not support Flowcode5?

Thank´s in advance

Hi Jorgen,

Does the EB006 ver. 9 not support Flowcode5?

Indeed is does.
It's PPP that's not supported by EB006V9 and that's what FC5 uses as default programming software.
FC6 and FC7 use mLoader.
So you will have set up compiler options in FC5 to use mLoader instead of ppp.
Take a look here on how to set mloader up with V5.
The path you could always could be mloader within V7, or download the latest mloader version from here.

All the above is assuming FC5 is being used on the same PC as FC6 and FC7 so correct USB drivers for EB006 V9 are correctly installed

Hi Martin!

Thank´s for your fast reply.

I follows the path concerning download and switch over to Mloader istead of PPP. But I still get the message " No USB cable connected" when I use EB board ver.9.

But I can see now if I use my EB board ver. 7 that, when programming the picXX it use the Mloader and then no problem.

I have downloaded the USB driver, and unzip the zipfile, but where do I have to place these file ? there are no "install" file for this.

Thank´s in advance Martin

Hi Martin!

Done And I can see EEB GHOST multiprogrammer in devicemeneger when I plug in the USB. But still no USB connected when I try to "autodetect in config for the pic in FC5.

ppp is just setting the configuration settings!
So doing auto-detect will just try to auto detect with ppp, hence seening the USB not connected again.

Just either compile to chip or run mLoader and do auto detect on that:

Hi Martin!

You are one of our God here
It work now. I Did not know all this you learn me this evening. Thank you VERY much.

I try to use the Mloader for my EB006 Ver. 7. but this will not work now. But now it is easy to switch between Mloader and PPP. No problem Mloader for ver 9 and PPP for older.

Once again Martin, thanks for your care and your big patience.
Have a nice evening and Sunday.
