Hi All, In PIC18LF14K22 (for example), the datasheet does not show a debug bit (0x80) in the CONFIG_4L and the MPASM .inc file has nothing about it too; but the MPLAB .dev file continues to show a BACKBUG bit there. Nevertheless the bit is still really the background debug bit and it is automatically set or reset if I use the PK2 programmer from within MPLAB (superseding the .hex content), but naturally it is left unchanged if I use the PK2 stand alone software. The MPLAB configuration bits dialog shows this bit set or reset in the result column but it cannot be changed from here. My problem is that I do not use MPLAB, but I use MPASM/MPLINK & PK2 from another tool, so the DEBUG bit is cleared by default (0 is ON, too bad) and the device crashes (do not start?) as expected and I cannot find any way to build a project with this bit set... I've tried DEBUG=OFF or BACKBUG=OFF in the source file but MPASM doesn't recognize it. Is there some information datasheet that I missed? Why this bit has vanished from datasheets / .inc files but is still functioning as expected? Explanations are welcome... ----- Best regards, Philippe. http://www.pmpcomp.fr Pic Micro Pascal for all! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/PIC18LF1xKxx---I-want-my-DEBUG-bit%21-tp24640212p24640212.html Sent from the PIC - [PIC] mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
