<sidebar>Sidebar: Flowcode Help Overview:ChipSpecific</sidebar>
Each version of Flowcode comes ready with a default programming tool. However it is fairly easy to change the settings in Flowcode to allow for third party programming tools to be used.
The programming tool that is invoked when the compile to chip button is pressed is configured in the Build menu under Compiler options.
For help with third party programming tools the first port of call should be to check our forums to see if anyone else has already tried the programming tool with Flowcode. If you are the first then if you wish you can post your findings for other users to benefit from.
Contents
Microchip PIC
Flowcode PIC & dsPIC
Flowcode now comes with PICkit support built in. This can be enabled by configuring Flowcode during the install process or can be done manually at a later date. To enable the PICkit programmer you will have to change the programmer settings to match the following.
PICkit2
Location:
C:\Program Files\Flowcode 6\Tools\PICkit2\pk2cmd.exe
Note on 64-bit computers the path changes from Program Files\ to Program Files (x86)\.
Parameters:
-BC:\Program Files\Flowcode 6\Tools\PICkit2\ -PPIC$(chip) -F$(target).hex -M -A5 -R
Note on 64-bit computers the path changes from Program Files\ to Program Files (x86)\.
PICkit3
Location:
C:\Program Files\Flowcode 6\Tools\PICkit3\PK3CMD.exe
Note on 64-bit computers the path changes from Program Files\ to Program Files (x86)\.
Parameters:
-P$(chip) -F$(target).hex -E -M
or for 16-bit PIC devices
Parameters:
-P$(chip) -F$(target).hex -E -M -L
Microchip FS USB
Flowcode PIC comes with a example for using the free microchip USB bootloader. Changing your target to the MCHP_FSUSB will automatically configure the programmer to use the Microchip PDFSUSB programming tool. Note - The USB bootloader firmware must be present on the device to allow the programming tool to connect correctly to the device.
TINY PIC Bootloader
Support for the Serial TINY PIC Bootloader is documented here.
ARM
Flowcode ARM comes with a set of precompiled bootloader files. This allows the matrix mLoader USB reprogrammable operation to be used on any third party ARM hardware.
AVR
AVR Dude
The AVRDUDE programming tool supports a number of third party programmers for more help and information please visit the AVRDUDE home page.
Arduino
Support for Arduino is documented here.
