Bootloader for 18F2320 8Mhz internal osc

a2e · Post by **a2e** » Sun Jan 18, 2009 6:42 am

I am new to swordfish and I am excited to start using it, however my pic programmer is junk and will only work 1 in about a 100 tries. It would be great if I could use a bootloader with swordfish, problem is that I don't see the version I would like to use.

Would it be possible to get a version that will work with the 18F2320 using the 8Mhz internal oscillator? Thanks.

Good programmers are dirt cheap, the PICkit2 is less than $50
Bootloaders are often a pain and offer no debug either.

However, if you MUST use a bootloader, HEX files are provided for the PIC18F2320 with crystal/resonator at 4MHz and 20MHz - sorry none are available for use with internal oscillators. See the MCLoader directory.

Dear a2e,
I have been using bootloaders all this while. It works great. Somehow I find it easier. Previously I encountered problem like yours before. The settings that we use may not be listed in the MCLoader directory. You can visit:

and mail them at mecanique, to request for a bootloader of a particular settings eg PLL, clock speed etc.
