MPLAB 7.5
PostPosted: Wed Jun 20, 2007 4:56 pm     Reply with quote

are there any known issues using PCM with MPLAB 7.50? I purchased the PCM compiler this morning, have been successfully trying test code and programming a 16F877A. However MPLAB constantly crashes, and whenever i try to open the old project it says that the project is now corrupt... so after every crash I have to create a new project and re-add my source files ( which are still ok )... any ideas...? happens at random every half hour or so

Here are some threads on the Microchip forum about it:
http://forum.microchip.com/tm.aspx?m=201367&mpage=2
http://forum.microchip.com/tm.aspx?m=260347

Download page for older versions of MPLAB:

On this page, one person claims he "rolled back to 7.41" and
it's stable with CCS.

Here's a link to MPLAB v7.41. (This is a 37 MB download)

7.61 is a bit more stable, it mainly crashes when I'm programming a chip.

The one thing I really like about 7.61 is dockable windows; which allows you to use multiple monitors

MPLAB crash
PostPosted: Wed Jul 11, 2007 5:37 am     Reply with quote

Hi,

I used MPLAB 7.50, 7.61a in conjunction with CCS 3.227 on Windows XP.
It crashed every few minutes, always when i pressed the programming tab or the compiling tab.

Of course i have read nearly everything on the internet and tried a lot.

Finally it only helped to:
-) uninstall ALL, manually cleaned the registry (cleaned everything with "MPLAB", "Microchip", "CCS")
-) reinstall MPLAB 7.20 (!!!) - restart windows
-) reinstall CCS 3.227 - restart windows
-) reinstall MPLAB plugin - the old one (!!!) which has 299.304 bytes
now i work on my project for some days, w/o a single crash.
I have to mention that i also gave more virtual memory.

I hope doing the same way can help you, too. Cool

Well, after some "cleanning" in my Vaio, I reinstalled all my tools and programs.
The point is that I didn´t keep the "old" MPLAB/CCS plugin wich I used to use,
instead I installed the last and fresh Twisted Evil MPLAB plugin version wich is the only
available in the site.
After that I realized that I´m in the same problem, the suit MPLAB/ICD2 that
I use to debug, start crashing. Shocked I´m using CCS V3.236.

I search in Microchip/MPLAB site but they do not keep old plugins versions too.
Pls, somebody can point me where/how can I get the old one ?


Many thanks in advance,


Humberto

I wouldn't mind seeing that private message myself. I'm in the same boat along with several others both at home and at the automotive company where I work. We are all using CCS under MPLAB under XP and they all crash randomly and often, regardless of PC manufacturer.

Version 7.6+ issues
PostPosted: Thu Jul 26, 2007 10:10 am     Reply with quote

I was having massive lockup issues with 7.6+. As suggested, I uninstalled
7.6, went through the registry and removed any (obvious) leftover MPLAB
entries (and there were plenty). There were some entries that I wasn't sure
about... i.e. CCS references to MPLAB, so I left anything that wasn't
obviously installed by microchip. I then removed/uninstalled the CCS compiler as a JUST-IN-CASE. Reinstalled 7.41, reinstalled CCS (latest
version). Ran the OLD CCS mplab utility. Everything is now stable and
have not had a lockup yet. The only extra thing I had to do was manually
change where MPLAB looked for compiler. It defaulted to pointing to the
included basic CCS compiler, and it had to be directed to the PICC
folder. CCS tech support helped out on that one.

The nice gentleman at Microchip that tried
to help me with the "trouble ticket" seemed "baffled". It wasn't until I put
forth a little more effort to track down the problem myself and search google that I found the boards here as well as microchip... and a few other places as well. With so many postings HERE as well
as on the microchip message boards in relation to lock up issues with 7.5
and greater, I was disappointed how clueless they were about the situation.

Perhaps 7.7... 7.71...??
