Description on how to use dsPicProgrammer to download firmware to DsPIC30F 5011 Development Board

Loading Bootloader (Once only)[edit]

Hardware Requirement[edit]

  1. PC with USB port (with Windows)
  2. ICD2 Programmer
  3. Target Board
  4. 5V Power Supply

Software Requirement[edit]

  1. MPLAB IDE v7.50: v7.60 is not compatible with our current ICD2 Programmers. There are consistent "Devices cannot be founded" warnings. See manual for details.

Files[edit]

  1. dsPicBootloader (bl_$(MODEL).hex).

Procedure[edit]

Loading Bootloader
Step Remarks
Install MPLAB IDE
  • Do NOT connect ICD 2 (via USB) to PC
  • Execute MPLAB vX.XX Install.exe
Install USB Driver
  • Follow the instruction in (C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPLAB IDE\ICD2\Drivers\Ddicd2.htm)
Select Target Chip
  • Run MPLAB IDE on PC
  • Select: Configure>Select Devices...
  • Choose the correct dsPic model
Load Bootloader
  • Select: File>Import...
  • Select bl_$(MODEL).hex
ICD 2 <-> PC
  • Plug-in ICD 2 to PC via USB cable
Target <-> ICD 2
  • Connect six pin cable to target board. Beware of the pin assignments. Only pin 1 - 5 are used.
  • Power-up the target.
ICD 2 <-> PC
  • Select: Programmer>Select Programmer>MPLAB ICD 2
  • If this is the first time the ICD 2 is connected to PC, MPLAB IDE will automatically download the required OS to ICD 2, wait until it has finished
  • If you have not connected and powered up the target, you might see Warnings on invalid device IDs, and/or running self tests.
  • See results of self test if necessary: Programmer>Settings, Status Tab. Refer to ICD2 User's Guide Chapter 7.
Start Programming
  • Select: Programmer>Program
  • Wait until finishes
Finishing
  • Power-down the Target
  • Select: Programmer>Select Programmer>None
  • Unplug USB cable

Hardware Requirement[edit]

  1. PC (Linux/Windows) with COM Port OR USB-COM converter cable
  2. Target Board (with bootloader)
  3. 5V Power Supply

Software Requirement[edit]

  1. dsPicProgrammer

Files[edit]

  1. Application hex file (e.g. app.hex)

Procedure[edit]

Setup COM Port[edit]

DSC00921.JPG

  • Connect your USB-COM converter cable to your computer
  • Or Using a real COM PORT


Find out your COM port Number[edit]

1.jpg

  • Go to Control Panel \ Device Manager


2.jpg

  • Find out your Device COM Port Number


Get the Dspic Programmer[edit]

Programmer 3.jpg


Download Firmware[edit]

Programmer 4.jpg

  • Save your .hex file(foo.hex) to the folder called firmware.
  • Run dsPicProgrammer.bat (Windows) / dsPicProgrammer.sh (linux)
    • Make sure your device is connected through a "Direct RS232 Cable" to PC Serial Port.


Programmer 6.jpg

  • Choose a COM port
  • Choose a baudrate
115200 is communication speed [in bps]


Programmer 7.jpg

  • Choose a .hex file


Programmer 8.jpg

  • Press start
  • Then press Yes to confirm programming the device


Programmer 9.jpg

  • The status during programming


Programmer 10.jpg

  • The programming have been completed, press OK the close the message box

Troubleshooting[edit]

Invalid COM Port[edit]

  • In case of selecting an invalid COM port, you should see the error message:

  • Solution: check the COM port ID, or close any programs that are using the COM Port

Missing firmware file[edit]

  • In case of selecting a firmware file that does not exist, you should see the error message:
    java.io.FileNotFoundException: foo1.hex <The system cannot find the file specified>
    3 2 file err.JPG

  • Solution: check the file path

  • In case of missing the RXTX driver, you should see the error message:
    Exception in thread “main” java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: gnu/io/UnsupportedCommOperationException
    3 3 rxtx err.JPG

  • Solution:
    • Copy RXTXcomm.jar to /dsPicProgrammer/rxtx/lib
    • Copy rxtxSerial.dll to /dsPicProgrammer/rxtx/bin (Window)
    • Copy librxtxSerial.so to /dsPicProgrammer/rxtx/bin (Linux)

Missing JAVA[edit]

  • In case of missing JAVA JDK or JRE, an error message will be prompted.
  • Solution:
    • Copy the contents under directory C:/Program Files/Java/jre$(VERSION)/ to /dsPicProgrammer/jre
