I am using the HP-488-00-3, and I am using the ASM IDE for compiling,I am writing in assembly
last two week I try to compile the program for 18f1320 in the ASM IDE but gives error
but when I use the MPLAB to compile there is no error,

the error given for the program is:
Error[108] C:\PROGRA~1\KUMAR\18FXX\187013~1.ASM 44 : Illegal character (,)
Error[108] C:\PROGRA~1\KUMAR\18FXX\187013~1.ASM 54 : Illegal character (,)

after I compile in MPLAB and get the HEX file and download in to the development board through the ASM IDE,
the outputs show in different LED. the following is the chip out put and the LED output at the board.
chip's B0 output at the development board's B2,B1 AT B3, B2 AT A0, B3 AT A1, B4 AT B4, B5 AT B5, B6 AT B6 B7 AT B7,
For the PortA A0 AT A2, A1 AT A3, A2 AT B0, A3 AT B1.
ie when we set the portB 0,1,2,3 the LED lights up in the board is B2,B3,A0,A1
Why like this where is the problem, or the board design in the way

Hello Saran

The compiler has nothing to do with the hardware, The compilation errors are due to problems in your code.

The compiler has pointed out line number of 44 and 55 both with illegal characters.

I am guessing this is the problem.

MOVWF TRISA, 0
...
MOVWF TRISB, 0

Try replacing these with

MOVWF TRISA
...
MOVWF TRISB

Hi,
If i remove the (,0) able to compile in the ASM IDE but after down load there is no out put in the board, when I compile in MPLAB after removing (,0) still I can get the same result, is it I need to change any configuration in the ASM IDE.
please read the rear portion of my original message and suggest me my hardware issue (different outputs at portA and PortB)

Hello Saran

Try switching your hardware to RC - Fast mode and then to XTAL mode using the slide switches and see if anything happens in either mode. This will point out if there is a configuration problem.

Also make sure that the watchdog timr is disabled in the software configuration.

Not sure what you mean by this.
What PICmicro chip are you using?

I am using the 18f1320 chip,what I mean is in the Hp-488-00-03 board if there is out put from the chip RB0,at the board the LED LB0 will lights up, RB1 at LB!, RB2 at LB2....

RA0 at LA0, RA1 at LA1,RA2 at LA2 .....

but when I using the 18f1320 at the Hp-488-00-03 kit the output is as follows.

after I compile in MPLAB and get the HEX file and download in to the development board through the ASM IDE,
the outputs show in different LED. the following is the chip out put and the LED output at the board.
chip's B0 output at the development board's B2,B1 AT B3, B2 AT A0, B3 AT A1, B4 AT B4, B5 AT B5, B6 AT B6 B7 AT B7,

Hello Saran

Ah I see what you mean.

The Board is designed to give the most flexibility across the range of PICmicro chips. However there are a couple of chips that do not match up with the expected output lines due to different configurations of Pins.

You can refer to the schematic at the bottom of the Dev board datasheet for details of the connections.
