Hello,
For anyone wanting to use a PIC32 ChipKit I have some good news.
We have looked a few times at supporting the ChipKit bootloader and failed. Now I am happy to announce we have finally cracked it.
I have included this fix in the files here: http://www.matrixtsl.com/mmforums/viewt ... 63&t=18209
If you have an existing project then remember to change the target to the Bootloader version of the chip.
Also remember to select the correct COM port.
This fix should also resolve the spaces in project filename compilation errors.
If you need to restore the Bootloader to your ChipKit then you can do so using a PICkit 3 and the MPLABX IPE software, the bootloader hex file can be found from this page.

Re: Chipkit + Bootloader Programming
Hi Ben
I've added your new components but I'm not able to get the board to program
C:\Program Files (x86)\Matrix TSL\Flowcode V7\compilers\pic32\bin\xc32-gcc.exe reported error code 255
After pressing compile to chip the window goes blank and shows the above message
I have reloaded the bootloader into my chipkit board using the pickit3 and mplab, as I have previously programmed it with the pickit

1 in 10 people understand binary, the other one doesn't !

Hello,
Please can you try the update again I've added the programmer executable now and it hopefully should all work this time.

Re: Chipkit + Bootloader Programming
How exactly does this work? It seems like your replacing the bootloader on the board. So you would need a custom bootloader for each chipKIT board, correct?
We make the PONTECH Quick240 (pontech.com / quick240.com) which was based on the chipKIT Max32 but we have a modified bootloader.
