| Programming Error - UNKNOWN OPTION: parent=723518 |

Hello fellow programmers:
I am getting an unusual error when I am trying to program my PIC18F57Q84. It gives the message that I put in the remark line.
| Code: |
#include <RegenModule_Config.h>
// Global variable declarations
int Flags = 0, // Register used to keep track of where we are in the program
DisplayFlags = 0, // Register to help keep the different displays "on trac"
LED_Blink = 1, // Register that only uses one bit to make the LED blink
CountdownTimer = 0; // Register that the RTC interrupt routine decrements
//signed int8
//int16
// Other useful Regeneration Module specific functions, definitions and such
#include <RegenModule_I-O.h> // Pin assignments for the IO on this board
//#include <Flex_LCD.c> // LCD Driver for the display
//#include <internal_eeprom.c> // Driver to be able to save above 8-bit values to the internal EEPROM
//#include <RegenModule_Displays.h> // This is the file that holds all of the displays for the system
//#include <RegenModule_Subroutines.h> // Various and assorted functions to keep things moving along
void main()
{
while(TRUE)
{
Output_low(LED_Green);
Output_low(LED_Red);
Output_high(LED_Red);
//TODO: User Code
}
}

Here is what is in the "config" file and "I/O" files respectively, which is the only include files:
| Code: |
#include <18F57Q84.h>
#device ADC=12
//#FUSES NOWDT //No Watch Dog Timer
#use delay(internal=32000000)
#pin_select SCK1IN=PIN_C3
#pin_select SDI1=PIN_C4
#pin_select SDO1=PIN_C2
#use spi (SLAVE, SPI1, MODE=0, BITS=8, STREAM=SPI_1)
// Definitions for the local I/O pins as specific to the Regen Module application.

I pulled out just about every include that wasn't being used yet, just to get rid of the possibilities. Is this something with the include file for the chip? I can't eliminate that one.
Thanks so much for the input!! I tried two different boards and got the same result, so this is definitely something with the software.
Thanks again!

Maybe go back to the basic, simple, 'toggle an LED at 1Hz' program ??
If that works, build up from there ?? |

| Critical unsaid thing here _compiler version_?. |

Great question. Sorry for not posting 
It is version 5.114.

The other thing I should have asked is 'which programmer'?. 
I suggest the first thing to do is try running the programmer separately.
So assuming it is a CCS programmer, run CCSLoad. Try programming from
this. You may well then get an error message that is more informative. |

That was a great suggestion! Thank you! Yes, this is a CCS ICD-U64. I will make sure that it's firmware is updated and give it a try in the morning.
Thanks again for the feedback!

I have an update to this thread that I would like to share.
It turns out that I had to update the CCS Loader software as well as updating the firmware on the programmer. When I tried to program it using the CCS Loader as @Ttelmah suggested, it did give more information, by throwing up a TON of error windows on top of each other. I had to force it to shut down from Device Manager. Going back in, I tried to manually select the PIC18F57Q84 to get it started, and it wasn't on the list. That was my clue. I updated everything about my ICDU64, and it will now program without the error. The code still isn't acting right, but that is what "debugging" is for.
Thank you SO MUCH for your input!! I am no longer "dead in the water", woo hoo!!

Grin.
It looks like we may now know that parent=723518, is code for a particular
version of 'device not supported'....
Now for your debugging.
Worth being aware, that some of those newer chips have complexities like
slew rate limiting on the pins, and open collector drives. Worth checking if
the chip has these, and if so, that they are correctly setup before trying
to do I/O.... |
