PIC16F15324 - Unknown chip type in datafile

Post by jay_dee »

Hi,
Trying to program a PIC16F15324. Chip type is allowed by FC but I'm struggling to load any code over using a EB006 V7 board.
I think the mLoader program is looking for this chip reference in the mLoader 8bit CSV file.

Not sure it is in the CSV file when i looked manually.
or am I doing something silly.

Hi J.
As far as I'm aware if you look at page 4 of the EB006 datasheet, then it shows the compatible devices.
Unfortunately, 16F15324 is not one of them.
Maybe Steve knows of a more up-to-date list?
Your best bet is to use a programmer e.g PICkit 3/4, USIX or mikroProg etc.

Ah... so its a compatability issue with the programmer type?
I've got a PICKIT3 but never had much luck with it. I dont have MPLAB installed as its pretty huge.
For compatability with newest PIC devices it may require the MP IPE...which could mean a whole MPLAB IDE install.

Downloaded MPLAB and installed the IPE, was still a couple of GB with just the 8bit pics and no IDE. :shock:
anyways... ran the IPE and made sure it could detect the PICKIT3, which had its firmware auto updated, then detected the PIC, all good. Closed IPE.

In FC,changed compiler options and updated the programmer file location.
FC compiled and sent to the PIC. All good. Thanks. J.

That's great J.
I'm not so fortunate as I needed to install IPE and its not working on windows 11.
I have sent a support ticket to microchip.
There is a standalone program for PICkit 3 buts is very out dated now.
It's a shame microchip won't create a typical standalone package that does not take up 2.45 gig just for PIC target devices.
