CCS-4.084

[preatorian]

Hi all,
I face the same problem with ICD not working. I just downloaded the ICD software only from their site http://www.ccsinfo.com/downloads/setup_icd.exe and installed it in the PICC directory. It is working fine now.

Hi,
agree with you, Preatorian! and thanks! Downloaded the ICD control program and installed in the pic directory, and now it's like working normaly.

Hi all,

Just compile the cdc usb code with CCS 4.084 and the ram usage was 68%

and i compiled the same program with ccs 4.032 and the ram usage was 46%

Whats going on?

Regards,
Jai

What PIC are you using? If I use 18F4550 my RAM used is about 57% with almost no code... (50% of USB RAM + 7% overhead). Remembers me old days when in PCs RAM was precious and onboard videos eaten our MB of RAM.

[jaikumar]

I am using the 18F2550, compiling with ccs-4.032 gives same perfomance as compiling with ccs-4.084 and takes less RAM.

CCS has a way of creating problems with their fixes as the version numbers goes up.

Anybody who understands this please explain.

Thanks and Regards,
Jai.

Did you check if the pic18_usb.h usb.h and usb_cdc.h have changed? Maybe they modified the file and put new things. Make a compare to see. Maybe in previous version they didnt allocate all usb memory, probably generating a bug.

well it works and i did not get any error, so far.

Question asked about RAM size is answered below,

Once again CCS has created problems with their update of compiler and there is a new patch

Version 4.085 fixes:

4.085  A number of optimization issues on 24 parts have been fixed
4.085  A PCW IDE problem invoking the ICD software due to the CRC is fixed

These may be the reason why RAM size is bloated with 4.084.

Please don't use this version. Wait for 4.085.

WHO KNOW WHAT ERRORS MAY BE CREATED ON 4.085

Jai.

4.085  A PCW IDE problem invoking the ICD software due to the CRC is fixed

What this have to do with USB in 18F4550?
I´m only seeing 24 parts improvement and ICD fixed.

There´s time i dont see any update with PCH or 18F.

Hi everyone,
I'm having problems with the new version (4.084) of CCS. I uninstalled my older version and installed new one with provided keygen it works without any problem. But when i tried to use my ICD-U40 in CCS it doesnt work.

I also upgraded firmware of debugger and installed new wersion of ICD software...I dont know what is the problem...

P.S. ICD-40U works with standalone version of the ICD program anyway...

Any suggestions?

This version has a problem in ICD. In 4.085 ICD is fixed. Use the standalone version.

So is it possible to install the version posted here and simply download the updates straight from the CCS website after?

Update: you can't download the updates from the CCS website. Anyone have the latest updates?

i dont think this copy of ccs works properly
yes it does compile but it even copiles programs which have contain lots of errors
never shows warnings as well
use 4.057 instead of this

[mayler]

With me is working great, used to make my graduate thesis, made an adaptative control in pic.

[solarwind]

Yes, it is working great. But how do I update to the latest versions?

[mayler]

Wait someone to post here.

[ALLPIC]

Yes this also working great for me I don't know about CCS ICD40 because I am not useing that but it really works great I love MPLAB environment so I am using that for CCS No problem I observed yet

Hi,

You can see the last release number and full changes list from this link:
http://www.ccsinfo.com/cgi-bin/update.cgi?software=VERSIONS

[twonuts]

Yes, it is working great. But how do I update to the latest versions?

Try this., It worked for me. When it asks for a customer reference number, just stick any number in box and click next.
It says invalid reference number but downloads and installs updates.

Edit:

I don't know what exactly the online updater downloaded but it was NOT a compiler update. Apologies to all.

[mayler]

It's not working for me... If you discovered a system breach, download the last pcwhd and ideutils and post here

[MGLSOFT]

Yes, download the PCWHD and post here.
Not working for me too...

This did't work to upgrade to newest version ...
