Hi, I am a newbie. I have just installed MPLAP 6.40 for my new PICDEM 2 Plus and ICD2. I learned that there latest upgrade is available for the PICDEM 2 Plus. I have couple of questions. Hope someone who is familiar with this can help me. (1) How do I check what version of the Firmware is loaded into my PICDEM 2 + ? From the user guide, I think mine is version 1 firmware. (2) When we talk about upgrading, are we referring to soft-firmware upgrade or buying an IC chip from Microchip with the latest firmware laoded ? (3) If we are referring to soft-firmware, may I know where can I download a copy ? (4) Does my PICDEM 2 + has to be of certain hardware version to use the latest firmware ? (5) Where can I get the upgrade instructions ? (6) Do I really have to upgrade ? Thanks in advance for the help. Best regards, Davis --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
