18F4620 Bootloader Problem

[captainslarty]

Hi Joe
I did try that way round but, it seems to have an issue with switching from the internal oscillator to the external HS oscillator. The only way to get it to work properly is to set the IESO to be ON.
Then it works like a dream !
Thanks Bill, Good idea I will post the config's to the tips & tricks.

Hi, its great to see you visiting our forum. Why not try Proton Compiler for FREE? Download the FREE version of Proton Compiler, Its called Amicus18 and its available from HERE Already using proton Compiler??? Get rid of these pesky messages... get LICENSED USER STATUS

Regards
Craig

Hi Craig, no worries, I have not tried the ds30 yet, but have downloaded it, the Mchip one works fine with the settings I quoted, just probably a quirk I presume.

Problem solved in as much that the vellaman progremer is at fault. Craig will have to contact them for new software. I use the proton bootloader for the 4620 and it works great.

Hi Anton, great work ! both of you,
Hopefully you can briefly explain something that I am finding confusing from your posts ?

We have 3 utils here that have been mentioned.
MChip AN1310 bootloader app and hex.
DS30 bootloader app and hex
And the proton bootloader, by which I presume you mean the mechanique one. ??

Which APP are you using with which HEX ?
ie, have you compiled a hex file for the 4620 using Mchip MPLab project, or DS30 mplab project ? - and if so, which application are you using to run it, Mchip, Mechanique (Proton), or ds30 ?
Cheers
Joe.
