hi guys,
i am a new user for "c" using to pic mcu

i installed latest mplab x ıde 5.45 and xc8 2.31 and i did pat.. xclm.exe by cmd.exe(i copied cmd.exe file where in \system32 directory to \xc8\v2.31 directory and i runed it in here).

from metal...There is no need, just do the following and it should work OK:

rename original xclm.exe into xclm.old inside "C:\Program Files\Microchip\xc8\v2.31\bin".
Copy cracked xclm.exe to "C:\Program Files\Microchip\xc8\v2.31\bin".
Copy cracked xclm.exe and xclm.old to "C:\Program Files\Microchip\xc8\v2.31"

Open a cmd as admin in this location: "C:\Program Files\Microchip\xc8\v2.31", and run xclm.exe

that's it.

then,

i saw this cmd answer after pat...d
 

i think all are ok.?

i also lookd/checked status of optimmization! at Mplab ide menu and it is heppened like it that you see the picture


and also the code coverage enabled ?i think!


do i have ecerything to start and learn and work codding to pic mcu with c language?

or i have to use "functional safety" version of xc8 compiler?

[metal]

try to be honest with yourself here, to learn C you don't need a full xc8

[tumbleweed]

xc8 v2.32 available. Patch tested and works.

[engiadina]

Well,

seems that the patch is only working under Windows.

Those who are using a MacOSX - Version are out of luck. Today I tested a lot of patches (even trying to edit the files manually). With version 2.32 the picc18 execution fails with errorcode 9 (process halted).

I tested the patch under Windows - everything is fine, that one works. Unfortunately the Mac (or OSX) version is broken.

Mega.nz  link for the XC8fix , since the link provided eariler gives file not found error.

[danymogh]

unfortunately the crack doesn't enable the Functional safety version or the Code Coverage feature.

Thanks all, hope the functional safety could be unlocked as soon as possible

1) MPLAB Code Coverage Overview

The MPLAB® Code Coverage feature provides visibility as to what portions of your code are being executed. Run your test cases to completion for a visual display of coverage.

The MPLAB Code Coverage feature requires the following tools:

    An MPLAB XC C compiler, either Free or PRO, that supports code coverage output, starting with MPLAB XC8 v2.10, MPLAB XC16 v1.40, and MPLAB XC32 v2.30.
    The MPLAB Code Coverage (SW006026-COV) license that provides visibility as to what portions of your code are being executed.
    MPLAB X IDE v5.25 or later, which supports the display of code coverage data from an MPLAB XC C compiler with the MPLAB Code Coverage license.

2) Functional Safety Compiler
Ease the burden of your functional safety qualification with the MPLAB XC8 Functional Safety Compiler License - a TÜV SÜD certified compiler package that supports 8-bit PIC® and AVR® microcontrollers. This compiler license has been certified in accordance with the following functional safety standards:

    ISO 26262
    IEC 61508
    IEC 62304
    IEC 60730

......

Just for info you .

take care,
X!

This summer I studied the mechanisms of unit testing the code and activating Code Coverage in MPLAB would be very useful.

[mars01]

Is this `Code Coverage` really useful?

From I've read here: https://microchipdeveloper.com/mplabx:code-coverage it looks like it is dependent on the level of optimizations selected for the compiler.
Which means it will be different if this feature is activated for optimized vs non-optimized code, while having optimizations activated means that there may be differences between C code highlight and what get executed.
Also if you write a lot of one-liners it will give the uncertain `yellow` coding.

https://onlinedocs.microchip.com/pr/GUID-CC9F71E9-AEF1-4C2B-8AC2-069D15B83A79-en-US-2/index.html?GUID-EEE4D157-B8BA-4B4B-B96A-34BD8601CD2A

Cat, do you have some resources for unit testing?

[Catcatcat]

This is what my training was based on http://www.throwtheswitch.org/ .


https://habr.com/ru/post/244835/ There is an article here (although it is in Russian, but a Google translator to help)

Yes, this mechanism works. But it is relevant when you develop code without real hardware. If you write code and test it in ready-made hardware, then 90 percent of you solve all your problems.

Can be enabled using TOP activator...

X!

X!

Have you tested it? does it work like the way they show it on their website?
because as long as I know both the compiler and the IDE must support it.

[Manuel]

To be able to see the additional menu' ANALISYS i had to uninstall IDE and reinstall it. (compilers already installed).....

X!

xc8 v2.35 available. Patch tested and works (win version)

[mitsos]

hi

after patching the last xc8 version 2.35 (pic+avr), the compilation of AVR182 : Zero Cross Detector (using AVR) project of proteus 8.13sp0 is failed.

I get this error:
avr-gcc.exe -Wall -gdwarf-2 -fsigned-char -MD -MP -DF_CPU=1000000 -Os -mmcu=attiny2313  -o "zero_cross_detector.o" -c "../zero_cross_detector.c"
Unknown option

In file included from ../zero_cross_detector.c:15:0:
c:\program files\microchip\xc8\v2.35\avr\avr\include\avr\io.h:414:28: fatal error: avr/iotn2313.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [zero_cross_detector.o] Error 1

Error code 2

I found that the .h files of avr micros are located here:
C:\Program Files\Microchip\xc8\v2.35\dfp\xc8\avr\include\avr

By using the -I option I get again this error message:
avr-gcc.exe -Wall -gdwarf-2 -fsigned-char -MD -MP -DF_CPU=1000000 -Os -mmcu=attiny2313 -IC:\Program Files\Microchip\xc8\v2.35\dfp\xc8\avr\include\avr  -o "zero_cross_detector.o" -c "../zero_cross_detector.c"
avr-gcc.exe: error: Files\Microchip\xc8\v2.35\dfp\xc8\avr\include\avr: No such file or directory
make: *** [zero_cross_detector.o] Error 1

Error code 2

In version 2.32 the .h files are here:
C:\Program Files\Microchip\xc8\v2.32\avr\avr\include\avr
and the compilation is successful

any ideas?

regards
mitsos

[PiotrJ]

For Error code 2: based on the error indicated the space in Program Files is causing the problems. Add double quotes: "-IC:\Program Files\Microchip\xc8\v2.35\dfp\xc8\avr\include\avr"

FYI: MPLAB XC16 Compiler v2.00 is out     (didn't test anything)

https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/xc16-v2.00-full-install-windows64-installer.exe

cheers!

[Manuel]

xc8 v2.36 , MCHIP only AVR side has modified, PIC side equal to v2.35.

X!

[patchjack]

Hello, can you upload the latest cracked files here?

[patchjack]

I'm in China. Mega network disk can't be accessed and needs to climb over the wall. Can you upload the crack patch directly here? Thank you

As per Sonsivri rule I can't . We are not allowed to directly attach any cracks or hacks. I have added a new attachment below. You can find the Baidu link in the below attachment
