Flowcode Support Board

Hello Matrix Team,

I belive I just may found a problem with the dsPIC30F3012 HEX Config Words inside FC9.

Today I´ll opend a old PIC16 FC programm made under FC6 inside FC9. Compiler went through and generated the HEX file.

Unfortunately inside this new HEX file 2 of 7 config words are missing. Of course if you want to programm the chip with PIC Kit2 you get a warning.
May you have a solution for the situation

My FC9 is Version 9.1.0.27

....additional information. Some compiler message are strange too:

I can`t understand the restricted license because I own a professional version with PIC 8, 16 and 32.

....attached the FC file for checking and duplicate the problem.

Hello Dirk,

It looks like we don't generate code for the FBS or FSS registers but it looks like they aren't currently used anyway.

I can`t understand the restricted license because I own a professional version with PIC 8, 16 and 32.

It's the XC compiler that's saying its a restricted license. For most users the XC compiler will work fine with the default free license. The Pro version of the XC compiler is fairly expensive but does offer some code and speed optimisations when converting the Flowcode C code into machine code.

Hi Ben

many thanks for the reply. You are right that FBS and FSS have reserved status (not used)

But if the file arrives at a programmer like PIC Kit2 FGS and FICD registers were shifted to FBS and FSS. Please see picture below.
