Override ICD pins causes failure to communicate

Post by NickDA »

I've got a problem using the ICD/Ghost. ICD works when using the default pins (RB6/RB7) but crashes with anything else (see error.jpg).

I'm only running a simple 'flash an LED' program on a PIC16F877A (can't get much simpler) in Flowcode v6.1.0.0 (08.10.14) and a Ver 9 EB-006. Setup shown in setup.bmp.

I notice that in the Help Wiki it says "you can in theory use any I/O pin for the ICD" - is this still a theory or has anyone tried it in practice? It's obviously a workroundable problem but I find PORTB rather useful and I'd prefer to use PORTE and not "lose" two pins from PORTB.
Best regards,
Nick

Nick,

The software allows changing to other pins, however the EB006 hardware is wired to use the PORTB pins.

Best regards,
