setting up an EB-006-00-7 with flowcode 9

[peterhalloway]

Hi All I have the above board along with various original E blocks. I would like to set it up but when I choose new project I cannot see an obvious target to set it to.

Could someone please help.

Many thanks

Pete

Hello Pete.
All you will need to do is select the microcontroller target e.g. 16f877A within Build>Project Options (Or from within New Project).
To find the target device, you can right click on any microcontroller and select Search then enter the microcontroller number.
There should be no need to change the configuration setting for the E-block programmer to work.
Within Build>Compiler Options, you will also need to select E-Blocks and and enable Default compiler for the platform C for PIC

Good Morning Martin
thank you for the quick response. It is now getting further but mloader is saying there is no device detected. I am guessing that despite me asking for the compilers maybe the appropriate toolchain has not been installed by IT here, could you please confirm.

Hello Pete.
You're welcome
If you go to View>Global settings then select Locations tab then you will see all the toolchains installed.
Does the programmer show up in the PC device manager?
Have you got the drivers for EB006 v8 and older installed?
Can you try with no other eblocks plugged in to the programmer or any other Matrix USB devices plugged in?
What happens run mLoader and try to program yourEB006?
When the EB006 is connected to your PC, is the power LED solid or flashing?

Hi Martin
under locations in PIC it ends with picv2 does this mean I have the 8 bit tool chain installed?

Yes, it does.
If you have installed the drivers and have the programming source jumpers on USB then you could have faulty hardware.

Hi Martin
I will try it on a home PC to make sure
