[Poland] PIC reflash
« on: August 22, 2010, 01:18:13 PM »
Hello all

I am new user here (altought I read this forum for some time back), so first of all I would like to say - hello everybody :)

Recently I bought a second hand MiniMig and as I noticed  it has some problems with PIC. I tried to reflash it via RS232 (doublechecked cable, tiny bootloader, COM settings, etc.) but still gotsuch errors:

Connected to \\.\COM1 at 115200
  Searching for PIC ...
  pic sending unknown data:  "K" <>  0h=
Check baudrate & Start Write while PIC is not sending serial data (e.g. in reset)
  ERROR!

As I read in few other threads (eg. http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=38670) my PIC should be reflashed by PIC programmer.

That is why I am looking for somebody to reflash (I cover all postage cost + payment for reflash service) my PIC microchip with PIC programmer. It would be great if this "somebody" lives in Poland ;)

Hello AppleHammer

Yes, before I posted here I tried all the methods and tricks posted at amiga.org and other places including the trick with pins 17 and 18 - I get echo (echo letters  were different than the one I input on PC keybord). Thank you for your help, but this one just not work. It looks like the PIC is old version without bootloader and needs to be reprogramed with hardware programmer.


PS: I contacted yaqube via PM and he is going to help me solve this problem :)

As soon as my MiniMig will be working, I will, for sure :)

I got PIC reprogrammed by yaqube today and I have just finished some intensive tests.

I use FPGA FYQ091224 and so far everything works nice and smooth.  Reprogramming PIC solved all my problems. I did not try to reflash PIC  myself, but as I was told by yaqube - I can do it easily now as PIC has  bootloader now.:banana:


THANK YOU YAQUBE

You cant even imagine how happy was I when I successfully launched some old classic games on working MiniMig :)

The problem was old PIC without bootloader.
