Recently I used my PICKit3 with a PC under Windows VISTA and MPLAB 8.92.
I recently installed MPLABX on my windows XP machine, but the pickit3 serial number doesn't show up at all when choosing a debugging/programming device.Hello, I have one PICKit3, which worked well on my PC using MPLAB 8.92 successively with Win7 and with Win10. I will post anything more that develops on my end. If anyone has any further information, please help. And, SERIOUSLY? All of these brand new software and hardware components that Microchip recommends aren't compatible with each other? This is disappointing. So I could do the workaround and use the standalone app to do the programming, but I paid $50 for this debugger, because it DEBUGS, and I cannot do that with the standalones! I have been having trouble finding the cause of the bazaar behaviors of my chip, so I finally broke down and got the pickit3.
Since I am working with Linux, I have had great success with gputils in assembling code and getting my hex files. Am I missing something? Can someone be more specific about steps for this. So it doesn't seem like the app is loading new firmware, but loading the same old firmware back once I hit MPLAB Mode. But then I change back to "MPLAB mode" and still get the exact same message from MPLABX: "version 01.22.08 is too old". I have gotten the "pickit 3 programmer app and scripting tool v3.10" to communicate with my pickit3 and also read/write from/to my target (WHOOHOO!) by "installing operating system".
Others around the interwebs have stated they can update the firmware The "pickit 3 standalone programmer app v1.0" crashes before it opens if I have the pickit3 attached to the PC. Am I just not doing this correctly? Is there something I should look for to know that it succeeds (other than trying to run/debug again)?. I still get the same message regarding my firmware version. I am able to follow all of the steps, and whether or not I click RESET (which appears to actually undo the operation of selecting a different firmware), I can find no evidence that the pickit3 firmware is updated/changed.
Has anybody actually had success with this? It appears to me that this feature is non-functional. Under MPLABX\mplab_ide\mplablibs\modules\ext\PICKIT3.jar. Browse for the Firmware File, located in the Directories pane Uncheck “Use Latest Firmware” and click on “Press to browse for a specific firmware Under Categories,Ĭlick “PICkit 3”, and select “Firmware” from the Option Categories drop-down. How can I manually download the firmware?.
You must have firmware version 01.26.10 or higher to use MPLAB X." My specific issue is, "Your PICkit 3 firmware version 01.22.08 is too old. I have been bouncing back and forth from windows XP in order to use the stand alone apps for pickit3. I'm working with MPLABX v2.26 on Linux (Ubuntu 14). So when I selected the option, It redirected to the MPLAB IDE ( I had the MPLAB IDE opened already) and showed this messageįirmware type.Unknown Firmware TypeĪnd it worked successfully. I was trying to read through the forums to find an answer but wasn't able to get one.Ītlast I discovered that the problem was the I didn't select the "Tools -> Revert to MPlab mode" in the PICKit3 Programmer GUI.

I used the PICKit3 with the PICKit3 Programmer GUI earlier and connected it to the MPLABv 8.80 IDE later.
