uC32 Board works as Uno32

Hello,

I have found the uC32 board from Digilent also works (as a Uno32).
I don't think the chips extended memory is working, maybe it can be added?

Firewing is the best thing I have found in a while! :)

What do you mean by "extended memory"?

Are you trying to compile for the PIC32MX340F512H, and if so, do you have a device file for it?

By "extended" memory I mean the uC32 has 512k flash and the Uno32 has 128k. The uC32 is like a Uno32+. :)

You are right, it would need a device file. Would that have to be written in PIC32 Assembly? I can handle Basic but have no experience with Assembly and have no idea even where to begin.
If the device file is a text file, I haven't even found the one for the Uno32 yet.
(The uC32 is still very usable as it is.)

Thank you for responding.

To add support for devices other than the standard ones supported by Firewing you need to download some additional tools.

Pretty much everything you need is available/linked to on the XC32 Toolsuite wiki page (XC32, XC32 Toolsuite, include files, instructions, etc). There you'll find a zip file that has the device files for a number of pic32 chips. There's also a toolsuite generator for the DIY-inclined.


The 'Microchip 32' section of the forum under the Toolsuites catagory might have more info and be a better place to discuss this further.
