#fuses and MPLAB 6.2 Configuration Bits...

[Richard Mincher]

I just upgraded to MPLAB 6.2 (from 5.x). My program contains a #fuses statement and the generated .hex file does have the fuse information in it however the "Configuration Bits..." under Configure->Configuration Bits... are not being set according to these bits.

Should they be getting updated? It seems that the MPLAB "Configuration Bits..." are being used when programming with PROMATE rather than the #fuses value in my .hex file.

Anyone have any ideas what's happening?

Thanks,
Dick

<font face="Courier New" size=-1>Check out the configure menu in MPLab6.2. Under Settings, under the Program Loading tab, there's a checkbox "clear configuation bits upon loading a program"

Think that may help. If you then compile (assemble) in MPLab, it may tell everyone to use your configuration bits.

Not sure, can't check right now, but let me know.

I saw that check box too and tried it both ways.

If the box is checked it REALLY clears the config word (sets it to 3FFF). If the box is not checked the config bits are not updated at all (retains same value as before the compile).

Problem solved.

Microchip says that it receives the configuration bits from the .COD file. If you chose the debug option to generate a .COFF file they don't see the bits.
