Looking for PIC 18Fxxx program examples and a bootloader/programmer

[manu]

hello,
i want learn ( or discover ) the programming of 18fxx PICs devices, and i look for examples of programs (*asm) and for a programmer and bootloader for 18Fxxx PICs, and i want to understand where is the difference between 16F and 18F programmers / bootloaders... i think, the programming voltage, 16F voltage more than 18F..., is that all ?
thank for answers

sorry for language, i'm french and i'm a newbie maybie i make politeness or language mistakes, sorry

Good doc in french here

"Cours : Part5 Migration vers les 18Fxx8"

And there :

the 77 different instructions for pic18

hi
u can find all the docs in www.microchip.com
cause they are the manufacturer

Hi Manu :wink:
You JDM variant is able to program 18F series :lol:
Just ground LVP pin

You can take a look at the PIC18C Reference Manual off Microchip's website.
If you are familiar with PIC16s, PIC18s aren't too different. They have a slightly larger instruction set, with the PIC16 instruction set forming a subset. The additional instructions, especially for addressing and the use of hardware multiplier, mostly make the PIC18s more efficient than the PIC16s. Peripheral-wise, the PIC18s have generally better peripherals and more memory.

banking 18f

Hi Manu :wink:
You JDM variant is able to program 18F series :lol:
Just ground LVP pin

many thanks

LVP pin = 'PGM' pin

i will try that soluce in this afternoon

regards :wink:

ci pic18

Checkmate --> I already down the pic18 reference manual, but i not understand few devices...
I look for examples just for to get me used to program 18Fs :wink: and as result create my own programs...
regards

the programming voltage, 16F voltage more than 18F

If you meant Vpp, the answer is no. The programming voltage is same.

I think the main difference of those two series is 18F series used access bank. The first 128 bytes of RAM & the last 128 bytes are mapped into access bank. Those are SFRs and some GP RAM. Accessing this bank required no banking and you could virtually forget about the issue of banking as in 16 series.

Apart from that, 77 instructions against 35 of 16 series. That gives more flexibility in programming. Also there is a hardware 8x8 multiplier gives you some boost in performance when you¡¯re doing multiply math. It also has FSR0 ¨C FSR2 (3 set of indirect RAM access) against 16 series one. This is enhanced by the posibility to access it using post increase, post decrease, pre-increase and offset by W mode.

programming voltage 18f

See at perso.wanadoo.fr\softelec\ for a PIC18 programmer ( schaer+)

the PP18 software available is approx 10 times faster than ic-prog!

[french for manu] : Manu, tu trouveras sur le site ci-dessus un prog pour les pic18. Il est accompagné de PP18 un soft de prog très performant.
De plus, pour tes pic18, je te conseille d'utiliser picos18 : www.picos18.com. C'est un noyau multitache qui simplifie fortement les développement, sur le forum de picos18, on peux te donner des conseils et beaucoup de briques logicielles vont etre livrées!

merci beaucoup pour ces infos, j'avais deja entendu parler de ce noyau multitaches, sans y preter trop attention...
en tout cas merci beaucoup, je vais aller y jeter un coup d'oeil :wink: [/french]

many thanks :wink:
I'm always looking for little example programs as a blik led on a pin of a 18Fs pic, just for tests... and fun... :wink:
