Hi!

I am using a PIC24FJ64GA106 to design a time domain reflectometer on proteus. I am using MPLAB X IDE and C16 as the compiling platform. The .hex file that I get from the program works fine in Proteus, but the .coff file that I need for debugging throws many errors, like the following.

"[COFF] Could not load source file 'fake'"

Many source files aren't loaded, and the debugger has a lot of problems.

I am sorry for the lack of code, but I am in a weird situation and can't access any of my code or schematics for some time (security concerns at my workplace).

Thank you in advance!
 

COFF uses absolute file paths so you have to run Proteus in the original C16 compiling folder (or atleast on the same HDD, at your workplace) if you want source level debugging.
 

Does that mean I have to put the Proteus files in the same folder as the COFF file? Or shift them both to the C16 program folder? The COFF file is being generated in a subfolder in a folder of my own (for identification).
 

Yes, even both can work if the Proteus has a right to read the original source files. This is not so sure on a protected system.
