Demo version of compiler omissions
PostPosted: Mon Nov 05, 2018 12:40 pm     Reply with quote

Hi,

In a previous thread, I realized that I would be well served by upgrading from PIC16. Thanks to those who participated to make me realize this. I am going to order a PIC24 devkit to test things out. For this, I need to get upgrade my PCM version of the compiler to PCD. Although I am sure it will work, I want to download the demo version first.

My question is that the CCS site states that only 15% of the drivers and examples are included with the demo, but does not state which of them are included or omitted. I couldn't find a list either. Is there a list anywhere?

There is an example list at:

You can see what is with the demo.

Thanks,
I'm using MPLABX as my IDE. I downloaded the demo version. However, when I try to compile in MPLABX, it tells me my .crg file is too old. It does this regardless of which version of the compiler I have selected in my version list.
Code:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\PICC\CCSCON.exe"  out="build/default/production"  NewMCUTest.c +FM +DF +CC +Y=9 +EA +DF +LN +T +A +M +J +EA +Z -P #__16F19176=1
Compiling C:\Users\dluu\Desktop\Devin\BoardCode\NewMCUTest.X\NewMCUTest on 05-Nov-18 at 14:45
*** Error 120 "NewMCUTest.c" Line 0(0,0): Missing or invalid .CRG file
      1 Errors,  0 Warnings.
Build Failed.




Any ideas what is going on here?

One additional bit of information is that when I try and switch the compiler version, the build tools tab inside MPLAB continues to show that I am using version 5.081. On other computers, the build tool changes as I switch my compiler between 5.042 and 5.078.

I had that same message recently. It doesn't like the 5.081. If you
uninstall it, your older compilers will work with your existing crg files.
I plan to email CCS to get new crgs so 5.081 will work.

I don't have the demo, so I'm not sure where it puts its crg files or
if it even uses them.

Thanks, PCM Programmer.
Ok, I will email CCS and get their advice on how to deal with these registration things.

btw, how do I go about uninstalling a specific version of the compiler?
Using ccsuninstaller.exe, I can select only 5.081 to uninstall, but then nothing happens after I click "remove selected items".

Ok. I managed to work this out.
Just for future reference, when installing the demo, it might be a good idea to modify the default installation directory from C:\program files\picc to C:\program files\piccdemo (as an example). Then point your IDE tools to use whichever compiler you want.

How I fixed it was:
1. create a folder in c:\program files\picc and put the 5.081 folder inside that (to hide it)
2. In C:\users\<username>\appdata\roaming\picc\dll.ini, delete the lines that were added by the demo. In my case, anything to do with PCB, PCH, PCD.
