Update PIC on Minimig

[BraindeaD]

Hi all.

I hope that the original author of the thread don't worry about use it to explain my problem with PIC update.
Recently, I've tried to update the PIC. The jumper set in the correct position, null modem cable attach on pc and minimig and, when click on "check pic" button (in tiny bootloader program) I turn on the minimig. In message box of the tiny bootloader appears a message saying the PIC "send a value 'K' <> ... , revise baudspeed when reset" or something like this. I've tried with all the baudspeeds but I can´t update the PIC... what are I'm doing wrong?
Excuse my poor english.
Thanks in advance.

@Boing:

Not, mine isn't from ACube. Mine was built by a spanish guy that sold me a few months ago. I'm trying to contact to ask him how he flashed the PIC... with or without bootloader... As soon as I know something new about this, I'll put here...

@Boing:

I just buy a PICKit 2 from Microchip, so next week I hope could write PICs. I'm in Spain, so if Vesalia doesn't flash yours, maybe I could.

Hi there!

Anybody knows which PICKit2's demo boards, from Microchip, are capable to program the Minimig's PIC?

Thanks in advance

@Boing

Hi! I've the PICkit2 (the programmer itself) and a low pin demo board, which is not usable to program MiniMig's PIC. There are several boards for PICKit2, but I'm sure which of them are useful for the PIC18LF252. I think that this one is compatible:

Pickit 2 - 28 pin board

but I'm sure and it's unavailable, atm.
I don't know if there is any other board compatible...

Hi there!

I'm trying to program my PIC with PICKit 2, and when I import the new minimig's hex file (27-04-2008 update) the pickit reports an message like "warning: no configuration words in hex file. In MPLAB use File-Export to save hex with config". If I program the PIC, the minimig doesn't works. I've tried to program the old firmware and pickit program the PIC without problems. I've tried the hex files from Dennis' and Acube's pages...
Anybody knows what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

Thanks boing, it works doing it as you say!!!
I'm blinded flashing the minimig1.hex directly with PICkit (*)

Regards


(*) it works with the original version but doesn't with the second version of minimig.hex
