Hi all,

Im trying to implement a bootloader for my PIC18 micro.

Can someone direct me, where can find information regarding the linker commands. i want to set the address of the main application right after the boot firmware.

Thanks, Ben.

Hi Rafael,

Thanks, im familiar with the Tiny Bootloader, i guess i didnt mention it earlier, im interested in a C code for the bootloader. (im not so familiar with the Pic asm commands).

Im likely to change the code of the bootloader in order to integrate it into my design. therefor im looking for the source code in C for that.

Im using the PIC18F452.

Thanks, Ben.

Well, you can use the asm into your C code....

if you´re using mcc18 you´ll have to learn how to use some pragmas to mix the code...

what´s your compiler ?
 

Re: PIC18X bootloader

Take a look at the MPLAB MPASM/MPLINK User's Guide -
https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/devicedoc/33014j.pdf
Lots of details on linking.

You might look at the microchip appnote - it includes a bootloader specifically for the 452.
https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/appnotes/00851b.pdf It has a linker script that might be of use. The full source code including the PC side program is available. Worth looking at for ideas or more.

I would not recommend the approach you are taking. Keeping the bootloader seperate and loading it high gives a lot more flexibility and protection but, of course, I don't know all your reasoning...
 

Re: PIC18X bootloader

Hi,

Im using the Hi-tech compiler for my programs.

usually, the code at these bootloaders files dont use the interupts for the uart nor for the timers. i would like to use the interupts (i think that this way the code is much more stable).

Any way, i have found the C code i was looking for, thank you all for helping.
(Its in C format though it does the same as the ASM ones).

If you are interested, you can download the files here.

Thanks, Ben.
