importing C code

[davet]

Hi
I am wanting to import some C code but do not have a clue as to the syntax required for this. Is there any information about this? I have tried the Help but that is of no use. I need documentation for the C compiler that Flowcode 5 uses.
Thanks in anticipation.

Hi Dave

You can get the manual for the boost C compiler from the sourceboost website.

Hi, have downloaded the manual from website but it does not read correctly Jpeg images of screen shots are ok but any text appears as a series of blocks and jumbled letters. Downloaded the free Boost C compiler went to "Help" tried to open the manuals there and same thing!!!!!!!!!!!
Sent emails to Boost - no reply.......
Any help appreciated.

Hi Dave,
The manual can also be found within BoostC directory.
If 64 bit windows can be found in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Flowcode\v5\Tools\boostc

Or 32bit windows:
C:\Program Files\Flowcode\v5\Tools\boostc

Thanks Martin
I forgot about it was there

Your welcome bud.

I thought posting website of boostC was a good idea!

Thanks Martin, found it tried to print it out for easy reference but no luck, same problem as above - obviously protected in some way from making hard copies!!!!!!!

I don't believe it is protected from printing.

I just tried with free foxit pdf reader:
http://www.foxitsoftware.com/Secure_PDF_Reader/
Since that's what I have currently got installed.

Printed a page out perfectly.

So it sounds like your set-up for printing PDF pages.

Yes my PDF software must be old, printed it out on another machine and OK!!
I am having difficulty now getting flowkit to work...

1/ when I try and program the chip with Flowkit inline and the slider switch set to "Prog" it will not program because it says "USB cable not connected" I thought the switch just by-passed the Flowkit?

2/when trying to step through the flowcode nothing happens until a form comes up telling me the ICD has failed to communicate with the target!

Have gone through the Flowkit manual step by step but I am obviously doing something wrong!

Thanks Martin

Hi Dave,

What hardware are you using as the target for Flowkit?

How are you connecting it this hardware?

[davet]

Hi David,
I am using the EB006 with the flowkit plugged into port b. Does port b have to be set as an input so Flowkit can communicate with the EB006?
Sorry for the dumb questions, I have not done any programming or electronics for 4 years.

Hi Dave,

What version EB006 are you using? You can tell from the silk screen number printed on EB006-00-x where x is the version number.

Version 7 and onwards EB006 boards has the ICD functionality built in so the Flowkit is not required.

Version 6 and before EB006 boards must be unplugged from the USB to allow the Flowkit to communicate correctly.

Hi,

Iam using version 8.
When I am in ICD mode and try to step through the prog. up comes "ICD has failed to communicate with target".

Sorted! Thanks for all help!

Hi Dave,

You get it working in the end? What did you do differently?

[davet]

Hi Benj

In my ignorance I did not reprogram the chip with the ICD checked!
Cheers!
