Selecting Compiler Options (PICmicro)
<sidebar>Sidebar: Managing Compiler Options</sidebar> Allows users to set the Compiler options.
Options list
See the Managing Compiler Settings topic for more information on using this feature.
Substitute variables used by Flowcode
%t Target name e.g. 16F88
%f Filename without extension e.g. C:\Dev\Test\Mytest.fcf becomes - C:\Dev\Test\Mytest
%d Directory location of the Flowcode file
Using the BoostC Compiler
Compiler location
Sets the Compiler location.
Default:
$(appdir)compilers\pic\boostc\boostc_$(family:/12F/16F).exe
Compiler parameters
Adds command line parameters when called from Flowcode
Default:
-v -t PIC$(chip:u) "$(target).c"
Linker/Assembler location
Sets the Assembler program location.
Default:
$(appdir)compilers\pic\boostc\boostlink_picmicro.exe
Linker/Assembler parameters
Adds command line parameters when called from Flowcode
Default:
-ld "$(appdir)compilers\pic\boostc\lib" libc_$(family:/12F/16F).lib rand_$(family:/12F/16F).lib float_$(family:/12F/16F).lib "$(target).obj" -t PIC$(chip:u) -d "$(outdir:~-1)" -p "$(target)"
Using the HI TECH C Compiler
Compiler location
Sets the Compiler location.
Default 16F:
C:\Program Files\Matrix Multimedia\Flowcode V4\PICC\PRO\9.65\bin\picc.exe
Default 18F:
C:\Program Files\Matrix Multimedia\Flowcode V4\PICC-18\PRO\9.63\bin\picc18.exe
Compiler parameters
Adds command line parameters when called from Flowcode
Default:
--CHIP=%p -N48 %f.c
Linker/Assembler location
Sets the Assembler program location.
Default:
C:\Program Files\Matrix Multimedia\Flowcode V4\tools\Dummy\DoNothing.exe
Linker/Assembler parameters
Adds command line parameters when called from Flowcode
Default:
Programmer location
Sets the Programmer application location.
Default:
$(appdir)tools\PPP\PPPv3.exe
To use the PICkit2 programmer change the location to
C:\Program Files\Matrix Multimedia\Flowcode V4\tools\PICkit2\pk2cmd.exe
To use the PICkit3 programmer change the location to
C:\Program Files\Matrix Multimedia\Flowcode V4\tools\PICkit3\pk3cmd.exe
Programmer parameters
Adds command line parameters for the Programmer application.
Default:
-cs 2 -chip PIC$(chip) -nogui "$(outdir)$(target).hex"
To use the PICkit2 programmer change the parameters to
-BC:\Program Files\Matrix Multimedia\Flowcode V4\Tools\PICkit2\ -PPIC%p -F%f.hex -M -A5 -R
To use the PICkit3 programmer change the parameters to
-P%p -F%f.hex -E -M -Y
Use Programmer to set configuration options
Check box to allow the Programmer application to be used to set up the configuration of the device. This setting needs to be unticked to allow you to use non default programming applications such as the PicKit2.
Configuration parameters
Supplies the command line parameters needed for configuration.
Default:
-cs 2 -chip PIC%p -config
Note: The above Programmer defaults assume that you are using the PPP Programming application from Matrix Multimedia. If you are using an alternative programming application you will need to consult the documentation for that application for the required parameters and settings.
Additionally configuration words can be embedded into the program using the Supplementary code feature, or C Code icons.
For help using the PicKit2 Programmer with Flowcode, untick the "Use Programmer to set configuration options" button and then click here to view the configuration settings required.
File Viewer location
Sets the File viewer location for viewing C and Assembly files.
Default:
C:\Windows\Notepad.exe
File Viewer parameters
Adds command line parameters for the File viewer program
Default Assembly file viewer
$(outdir)$(target).asm
Default external program to view source files
$(outdir)$(target).c
