PIC16F project not compiling to HEX

[pschoon]

Hi,

I imported my working FC9 project into FC10.
Now when compiling it to HEX i get an Error..

It seems to be halted at the RMT CAL function.

It's not clear to me what kind of cal function this is!

sorry..

If its any help I get a the following output - which is slightly different than your but still indicates a timing issue

It looks like a bug in one of the components. There should be a library update for this soon.

[Steve-Matrix]

Sorry - my mistake. It's not a bug in the component. It's because comments have been added to the LUT data which stop the compiler seeing the commas.

Code: Select all

0x0011 //Make EEProm Valid,
0x0101 //RampStart,
0x0296 //RampTime,
0x0302 //Standby,
0x0401 //AutoNull,

To fix this, put the commas straight after the values and before your comments like this:

Code: Select all

0x0011, //Make EEProm Valid
0x0101, //RampStart
0x0296, //RampTime
0x0302, //Standby
0x0401, //AutoNull

Hi Steve,

Thanks for looking in.

It's not working for me. Took out all comments but still the same error..

Hello.
When I compile your project file I get:

Code: Select all

0: (1347) can't find 0x2 words (0x2 withtotal) for psect "stringtext108" in class "STRCODE" (largest unused contiguous range 0x1)
updated 32-bit floating-point routines might trigger "can't find space" messages appearing after updating to this release; consider using the smaller 24-bit floating-point types
0: (1347) can't find 0x2 words (0x2 withtotal) for psect "stringtext109" in class "STRCODE" (largest unused contiguous range 0x1)
0: (1347) can't find 0x2 words (0x2 withtotal) for psect "stringtext110" in class "STRCODE" (largest unused contiguous range 0x1)
(908) exit status = 1

This means your target device has not got enough memory free.
After modifying the default xc8 batch file I got:

Code: Select all

Program space        used  752Ah ( 29994) of  8000h words   ( 91.5%)
    Data space           used   C61h (  3169) of  1000h bytes   ( 77.4%)
    EEPROM space         used     0h (     0) of   100h bytes   (  0.0%)
    Data stack space     used     0h (     0) of   382h bytes   (  0.0%)
    Configuration bits   used     5h (     5) of     5h words   (100.0%)
    ID Location space    used     0h (     0) of     4h bytes   (  0.0%)

That is a large project taking lots of memory.
To Replace the batch file:
Browse to this location using file explorer, it's hidden by default so just paste the link into your address bar.

Code: Select all

C:\ProgramData\MatrixTSL\FlowcodeV10\FCD\PIC\batch

Rename the pic_xc8_comp.bat to something like pic_xc8_comp ORG.bat, so it can be kept.
Extract the contents of the attached zip file into the above directory, then recompile.
I suspect you are getting a different result to other people as your components might not be upto date?
Make sure the Flowcode component library is fully up to date by Help>Library Updates... Change the Files in-use to full database. After updating reload your project

[medelec35]

The batch file has now been pushed onto the update system.
So there is no need to download the zip file.
Just do a full database update as described in my previous post, then the project should compile for you.
As this has not been a bug, I have moved this topic from the bugs section.

[pschoon]

Hi,

I did a full database update and YES it works.

Many thanks..
