When connected to a device or a development system, it becomes IN-SYSTEM programmer. One of the possibilities for connecting 18FJprog with mikroICD to a microcontroller is via an IDC10 connector. Look at the picture above. All you have to do is to put one 2x5 connector between microcontroller and other parts of the board. Inserting 18FJprog connector you will be able to program PIC 18FxxJxx In System.

2 in 1 Development Tool - USB 2.0 on-board programmer - 18FJprog + mikro ICD : mikro ICD is a highly effective tool for Real-Time debugging on a hardware level. The ICD debugger enables you to execute a mikroC/mikroPascal/mikroBasic program on a host 18FJprog microcontroller and view variable values, Special Function Registers (SFR), memory and EEPROM as the program is running. Also there is 18FJprog USB 2.0 – an ultra fast USB 2.0 programmer for fast MCU programming. Continuing its tradition as the fastest PIC 18FxxJxx programmer on the market, the new 18FJprog with mikroICD now supports more PIC 18FxxJxx MCUs giving the developer a wider choice of PIC 18FxxJxx MCU for further prototype development.

18FJprog programmer: The microcontroller is connected to the 18FJprog programmer via 5 lines, two of which are +3.3V and GND. Unlike programmers whose operation is based on bootloads, 18FJprog programs the microcontroller externally so that the entire memory is available for the program. ICSP mode is an in-circuit programming mode that allows you to read and write to PIC 18FxxJxx device memory. The ICSP interface is a 2-wire serial protocol implemented using the PGC and PGD pins. The PGC pin is used as a clock input pin and the clock source must be provided by the programmer. The PGD pin is used for sending command data to and receiving response data from the programming executive.

Keyboard Shortcuts

New version of software includes a number of shortcuts which facilitate programming:

• Alt-E Erase
• Alt-B Blank check
• Alt-W Write
• Alt-V Verify
• Alt-R Read
• Alt-D Change MCU
• Ctrl-S Save
• Ctrl-O Open (Load)
• Ctrl-R Reload

Command Line

Alternatively, you can use the 18FJprog programmer from the command line. It will allow you to use 18FJprog from some other software, compiler etc. Here are the command line parameters:

• -w Write to PIC 18FxxJxx
• -v Verify
• -r Read from PIC 18FxxJxx
• -e Erase PIC 18FxxJxx
• -p PIC18FxxJxx name (for example PIC18F67J10, PIC18F97J60...)
• -f Filename (use " as delimiters)
• -b Check if PIC 18FxxJxx flash is blank
• -Q Terminate after programming
• -Uon Force Code protection
• -Uoff Force Code unprotect

Examples:

Lv18PICFLASH.exe -w -pPIC18F67J10 -v -f"C:\somefile.hex"

This will program the PIC P18F67J10 using C:\somefile.hex and it will verify the write.

Lv18PICFLASH.exe -r -pPIC18F67J10.

This will read the PIC P18F67J10 contents into on screen buffer.

Lv18PICFLASH.exe -e -pPIC18F67J10

This will erase the PIC P18F67J10.
