V4 problem

[nmindana]

Hi,
Purchased V4 professional version 4.3.7.63 recently, trying to programme 18LF13K50, comes up with
an error message on the expert config screen "could not find config start end address in 18LF13K50"

Same problem pops up with some other PIC's as well.

Please help.

Hi Indana,

I've deleted your double post. In future, please only post your question once to one forum. Also, Flowcode V4 questions should be posted into the V4 forum. You can gain access to this forum via the "help...online resources" menu within Flowcode.

To answer your question, the workaround is to select the "18F13K50" device within the config tool instead (you will need to access the "expert" configuration screen for this). When you get the following message, select "no" to continue using the LF device within Flowcode.

sorry for the double posting Steve.

Your solution albeit seemed to work initially but the compiler has come up with the following errors:

BoostC does not support this target - you need to change the compiler toolchain to HITECH.

[nmindana]

sorry I din't catch that Steve, did you mean I have to purchase the Hitech version ?
How do I update the compiler ?

Also my login in the forum has restricted access, I am unable to post in the V4 forum, do I need to register again ?

Thanks

Hello nmindana,

I have updated your forum account to allow V4 posting access.

As for the HITECH compiler, please see this article from Ben about how to use it with Flowcode v4.

Many thanks David I will try the Hitech compiler.
