Selecting Compiler Options (PICmicro)

<sidebar>Sidebar: Managing Compiler Options</sidebar> Allows users to set the Compiler options.

Options list

See the Managing Compiler Options topic for more information on using this feature.

Substitute variables used by Flowcode are the same for all platforms.

Programmer

Error creating thumbnail: sh: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127

Programmer location

Sets the Programmer application location.

Default:

$(appdir)tools\PPP\PPPv3.exe

To use the PICkit2 programmer change the location to

$(appdir)tools\PICkit2\pk2cmd.exe

To use the PICkit3 programmer change the location to

$(appdir)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

-B $(appdir)tools\PICkit2\ -PPIC%p -F$(target).hex -M -A5 -R

To use the PICkit3 programmer change the parameters to

-P$(chip) -F$(target).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$(chip) -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

Default Assembly file viewer

$(outdir)$(target).asm

Default external program to view source files

$(outdir)$(target).c
