configuring MC Loader for other devices

[rocketbob]

Hello!

I'm a long time SF user and decided to start playing around with some 24F's I have laying around. I don't have a Firewing board. In SF it is straightforward to find the correct bootloader and configure it for a new device. Is there any documentation on how to set up MC Loader for a 24F device and upload the program via the IDE?. I get that I can use the toolchains and a pickit but I would like to stick with a USB bootloader.

Thanks,
Bob

Bob,

You can find the loader source code at the bottom of the "Main Board" pages in the Firmware section ie http://www.firewing.info/downloads/loader/firewing-16-loader-r2.zip for the PIC24.

In order to work with the IDE you'll pretty much have to replicate the 18F14K50 USB interface of the Firewing board (unless there's some way of telling fwloader.exe otherwise).

Yes,

-cCOM<num>

will force the loader to use any standard 232 port. For example,

-cCOM2

for com port 2
