Hello, I have a TFT 320x240 demo board with a "dsPIC33FJ128GP710" chip (mikroMMB for dsPIC). Note the "128". A programming session was accidentally interrupted and ever since, I've been getting a warning from the programmer. It says that it detected a "dsPIC33FJ256GP710", but I have a "dsPIC33FJ128GP710" device selected. I ignore this warning and the board still programs just fine, however, this problem does not go away.

I have visually verified that the part number I am using is correct, and it used to work just fine before the event I described.

I think the internal code tha identifies the device has been corrupted. Is there some way to fix it using the programmer, or with code?

Thank you, Richard V

Hello Richard,

please, tell me, which programmer are you using?

Hi Richard
I have the same problem, for few days there was no warning, now I hve the same situation you describe, in the mean time I installed the PIC32 compiler and I suspect something crashed.
I traied to reinstall all but no difference, I decide to stay wiith this warning as you. I use LV24-33 programmer.

Hello,

I didn't reproduce your issue.
Please, take photo and attach here in order to make detailed inspection.

Hello, of course you wouldn't be able to reproduce this. It was an accident that caused me to interrupt power during a programming session. Somehow, the manufacturing ID was corrupted. I believe it's the last two words of memory (FFFE or something like this). I don't know how to re-program an exact area in memory (given an address). I believe I need to use and "org" instruction so that I can specify the address.

I'm still new to C in some ways. I couldn't find information on the product codes for PICs. I tried searching the Microchip site, but it's not very useful.

On th MikroPIC suite (programmer: F11), what is "User Unit ID". The value I read is "FFFFFFFF". I didn't want to mess with it not knowing what it is.

Thank you for any insight you could provide.

Best regards, Richard V

Hello, below is a picture of the failure I previously mentioned. This was not a failure of your excellent product, but rather the result of a programming session being interrupted at the worst possible time, or for whatever reason, the device code was altered.

Can you suggest any method to re-program the device ID? I can't even determine what that code is. I've searched the microsoft website, but haven't found the answer yet.

This device code was just fine when I first bought this board. It's only a minor annoyance that I have to keep answering this "prompt" when I want to reprogram this board.

Any suggestions that anybody can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, Richard V

Hi Filip,

I am using MMB Dspic, HW rev 1.01

Davide

The situation is exactly as described by rrsquez, I am wandering how he solved the matter. This may help me and other in the forum.

Hi,

Please, can you send me the detailed photo of the mikroMedia for dsPIC33 board ?

Regards,
Filip.
