Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:

• Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.

• Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the intended manner and under normal conditions.

• There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.

• Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.

• Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”

Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.

Information contained in this publication regarding device applications and the like is intended through suggestion only and may be superseded by updates. It is your responsibility to ensure that your application meets with your specifications. No representation or warranty is given and no liability is assumed by Microchip Technology Incorporated with respect to the accuracy or use of such information, or infringement of patents or other intellectual property rights arising from such use or otherwise.

1.3 RUNNING THE PICkit 1 FLASH STARTER KIT DEFAULT DEMONSTRATION

The PICkit 1 Flash Starter Kit comes preprogrammed with a demonstration program. Connect the PICkit 1 Flash Starter Kit to the PC’s USB port using the USB cable as shown in Figure 1-1. The demo program will blink the eight red lights in succession. Press the Push Button Switch, labeled SW1, on the board and the sequence of the lights will change. Rotate the Variable Resistor, labeled RP1, and the light sequence will blink at a different rate.

This chapter provides instructions on how to use the PICkit 1 Classic programming software to program 8 and 14-pin Mid-range (14-bit Core) Flash Microcontroller (MCU) Family devices.

2.2 USING PICkit 1 CLASSIC PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE

USER’S GUIDE

Notice that the Device Power check box is selected. This is a default function indicating the device power is turned on.

Note: To turn the device power off, deselect the check box.

PICkit™ 1 Flash Starter Kit User’s Guide

2.2.1 Import HEX File

To import a compiled program (hex file), select Figure 2-2. Browse for the hex file and click Open.

FIGURE 2-2: IMPORT HEX FILE

The code is displayed in the Program Memory and EEDATA Memory windows. (For more information on Program and EEDATA memory, see Lesson 5 and Lesson 6 in Appendix C. “PIC12F675 Programming Projects”.)

After the hex file is imported, write the program to the device by clicking the Write Device button. The existing program will be erased and replaced with the new one. The status of the program write is displayed in the status bar located at the bottom of the interface window.

If the write is successful, the status bar turns green and displays “Write Successful”, as shown in Figure 2-3.

FIGURE 2-3: WRITE SUCCESSFUL STATUS BAR

, as shown in

If the write fails, the status bar turns red and displays “Checksum verify failed”, as shown in Figure 2-4. This error indicates the data was corrupted during the programming sequence. If this error is displayed, try writing the program to the device again. If this error continues, see Chapter 5. “Troubleshooting” for assistance.

FIGURE 2-4: WRITE ERROR STATUS BAR

2.2.2

Prior to each write, the imported hex file time stamp is compared to the version on the disk. If the version on the disk is newer, it is reloaded. This occurs only when a hex file has been read from the disk.

In the normal mode of operation, the hex file is updated with every build in MPLAB This ensures that the latest version built by MPLAB

2.2.3 Verify Program Code

This function verifies the program written to the device against a hex file. It compares all areas of memory including Program, EEDATA and Configuration.

To verify the code, import the hex file and click Verify. If the code is the same, the status bar turns green and displays “Verified successfully”, as shown in Figure 2-5.

FIGURE 2-5: VERIFY PROGRAM CODE STATUS BAR

If a discrepancy is found, the status bar turns red and displays the error “Verify Failed... Error in program memory.”, as shown in Figure 2-6. If the Verify fails, it is possible that the device is code protected.

The Erase function erases code from the device. However, this function is not normally needed since the Write Device function performs an erase prior to writing code to the device.

To erase the device using the Erase function, click the Erase button or select

Programmer > Erase

2.2.7

Unlike the Erase function, the Full Erase allows the user to erase not only the device, but the OSCCAL and bandgap calibration as well. Performing a full erase is not recommended or needed in the normal course of events. Only use this function if the OSCCAL or bandgap data has been corrupted.

To perform a full erase, select the toolbar menu, as shown in Figure 2-8.

Once the full erase is complete, regenerate the OSCCAL and reset the bandgap calibration value bits.

3.2.1 Select Device

The user must first select the device intended for programming. Select the device by clicking on the Device drop-down menu, as shown in Figure 3-2. The drop-down menu lists the available devices that can be programmed by the PICkit 1 Baseline Flash programming software.

Note: Baseline (12-bit core) devices do not contain a Device ID. As a result, the

PICkit 1 programming software cannot determine which device is in the evalution socket of the PICkit 1 Flash Starter Kit. It is important that the user verify that the target device and the selected device match. Otherwise unintended results will happen.

Chapter 4. PICkit™1 and MPLAB® IDE

4.1 INTRODUCTION

This chapter provides a quick overview on how to create and load a project in MPLAB IDE and program a device with MPLAB IDE. The PIC12F675 programming projects described in Appendix C. “PIC12F675 Programming Projects” are used as examples in this chapter.

Detail information on MPLAB IDE can be found in the “

Guide”,

the Microchip Technology Inc. website (http://www.microchip.com). MPLAB IDE is the integrated development environment supplied by Microchip

Technology Inc. for developing software for PIC to:

• Create source code using the built-in editor.

• Assemble, compile and link source code using various language tools. An assembler, linker and librarian come with MPLAB IDE. Supported C compilers are available from Microchip. Third party compilers may be supported also. Check the release notes or readme files for details.

• Debug the executable logic by watching program flow with the built-in simulator, or in real time with the MPLAB ICE 2000 emulator or MPLAB ICD 2 in-circuit debugger. Third party emulators may also be supported. Check the release notes or readme files for details.

• Make timing measurements with the simulator or emulator.

• View variables in watch windows.

4.3 USING THE PIC12F675 PROGRAMMING PROJECT SOURCE CODE

If the PIC12F675 Programming Project source code was installed from the PICkit 1 CDROM, and “Lessons” was selected from the options list, the source and hex files will be installed on the PC harddrive at:

C:\PICkit 1\Classic\Lesson n

Where n indicates the lesson number. In order to use the lesson source code you will have to:

1. Create a new or open an existing MPLAB IDE project.

2. Configure the project for the PIC12F675.

3. Add the code to the project.

4. Compile the software.

Details for each of these steps can be found on the “
