Verification Problem Please Help
PostPosted: Mon Jun 02, 2008 10:26 pm     Reply with quote

I have 2 u40 programmers. I am having the following problem and it's driving me nuts. I've searched, using the search tool and have not found a solution.

I'm using a PIC16F887, CCS compiler version 4.064. I've downloaded the latest ICD-U40 firmware.

The problem I have: My program compiles fine. When I program the device, the first time, it gives me a "Verification error". RAM locations do not match "expected" values. I can usually just "Hit" program again and it will work. Some times, it can't find my device. I have to recycle power to the hardware and the unit can be programmed.

I also find that many times during the day, I have to unplug and replug in the USB cable to continue work.

I use RB3. Shouldn't I be able too? I have "fast" enabled in the ICD software.

What can I possibly do to remedy this problem. Should I just use my ICD2 programmer? Will this solve my problem? I'm wasting "Hours" a day programming PIC's twice.

That chip has an errata associated with it, which states that PIN B3 must be grounded during ICSP mode.
Keeping this pin floating will cause verification errors. This errata is valid for following devices:
16F882
16F883
16F884
16F886
16F887

Don't know if this helps but I had a lot of problems with the ICD-U40 when it was plugged on a USB hub.
I moved it on a native USB of the computer and the errors disappeared

Verification errors with 16F886
PostPosted: Mon Jun 16, 2008 2:04 pm     Reply with quote

It seems that this chip can't be programmed in normal program mode.
Curiously in fast program mode it works.
The main problem is that the debugger apparently uses the normal program mode and thus it doesn't work.

Note: I'm using ICD V2.95, ICD-U40 CCS2.25 Rev#97, PCWHD 4.068

Is there any other that have experienced this issue ?
Any suggestions about how to make the debugger working ?

I have a production lot of 250 units with 16F883, I had to place a wire mannually between PIN_B3 and GND. It worked.

Next time I will prototype with the same exactly kind...
