cannot find the assembler

[saravana_3]

Hi friends,
recently I starts to use the ICD 2 debugger with the HP-488-00-03 kit, after i starts to use the ICD2, I try to connect the development board with the PC with out the ICD2 debugger, and starts to down load the old program, the compiler shows the error "cannot find the assembler".
I already change back the jumper 20 back to the USB position, and still the compiler cannot find the assembler.
what will be the problem

If you are using our "ASM-IDE" program, look at the options screen and check that the link to the assembler program (i.e. mpasmwin.exe) is correct.

Hi,
I have checked in the option, ( i am using the 16f88)
this is currently what I have

C:\PROGRA~1\MPLABI~1\MCHIP_~1\MPASMWIN.EXE /aINHX8M /p16F84 /rHEX /w2 /q

C:\Program Files\Matrix Multimedia\Common\PPPv3\\PPPv3.exe -cs 1

C:\Program Files\Matrix Multimedia\Common\PPPv3\\PPPv3.exe -cs 1 -config

C:\Program Files\Matrix Multimedia\ASM4PICsV3\VPIC\VPIC.exe

after I change the first line 88 instead of 84 still it says cannot find the assembler.


as per your instruction i change as follow,

C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPASM Suite\MPASMWIN.exe

able to compile and down load but the program is not working

please let me know what else I have to do

You'll need to make sure the configuration data is appropriate for your chip - especially the clock settings. Also, make sure you are turning the A/D off (ansel=0) if you are using port A as digital i/o.

Hi Steve,
initially i am using the PIC 16f84 and then i use the 16f88 at that time it is working fine (ASM-IDE), after I start to conect the kit through the ICD2 debugger and use the MPLAB. when again I come back to the ASM_IDE with out the ICD2 i got all those problems.
just now I check the clock and the analog input it was done because in both case my code is take care of the ossilator and the digital pin setting of the PORTA, the same code i am using for both condition.
thanks
Saran
