Selecting Compiler Options (dsPIC/PIC24)
<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.
Compiler
Compiler location
Sets the location of the Microchip C30 compiler.
Default:
$(appdir)compilers\pic16\batchfiles\pic16_C30_comp.bat
Compiler parameters
Adds command line parameters when called from Flowcode
Default:
"$(outdir)$(target)" "$(outdir)" "$(chip:u)"
Linker
Linker/Assembler location
Sets the Assembler program location.
Default:
$(appdir)compilers\pic16\batchfiles\pic16_C30_link.bat
Linker/Assembler parameters
Adds command line parameters when called from Flowcode
Default:
"$(outdir)$(target)" $(chip:u) $(family)
Programmer
Programmer location
Sets the Programmer application location.
Default:
$(appdir)tools\mLoader\mLoader.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:
-chip $(chip:u) "$(target).hex"
To use the PICkit2 programmer change the parameters to
-B$(appdir)Tools\PICkit2\ -P$(chipalt) -F$(target).hex -M -R
To use the PICkit3 programmer change the parameters to
$(appdir)Tools\PICkit3\ -P$(chip) -F$(target).hex -E -M
Or for dsPIC and PICkit3
$(appdir)Tools\PICkit3\ -P$(chip) -F$(target).hex -E -M -L -V3.3
Where -V3.3 specifies the voltage of the hardware.
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 PPP as used in previous versions of Flowcode.
Configuration Location
Sets the Configuration application location.
Default:
$(appdir)Tools\PPP\PPPv3.exe
Configuration parameters
Supplies the command line parameters needed for configuration.
Default:
-cs 1 -chip $(chipalt) -config
Note: The above Programmer defaults assume that you are using the mLoader 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. The above configuration editor defaults assume that you are using the PPP configuration tool from Matrix Multimedia. We recommend that you retain these settings to allow PPP to be able to specify the correct configuration for your device.
Alternatively configuration words can be embedded into the program using the Supplementary code feature, or C Code icons.
File Viewer
File Viewer location
Sets the File viewer location for viewing C and Assembly files.
The default is empty, this activates the use of the internal C code viewer.
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
