New Software load

[Mike Brooks]

 

Mike Brooks said: Hi   Several years ( 2 )  ago I purchased a Cerebot MX7ck board.  The board works fine, but because of the time since I've used this board I can't remember or figure out how to download software to it.  It has an ICSP prt which is not to be used, so my guess it's loaded through a serial port or USB port.   Can you please tell me what I need to load a hex file.  I'm asuming MPLAB X but how do I load the hex file to the board. Thx for your help in advance. Cheers Mike....

Mike,

I found this link on our Wiki that includes the reference manual which contains information about how to connect the Cerebot MX7ck (now called the chipKIT Pro MX7).

Let us know if this works for you,

Hi Mike,

I found this video on the Microchip site that goes through exactly what you want to do. It goes through how to program a board with MPLAB X and a hex file.

I hope this helps.

Hi Kaitlyn.

  Actually it doesn't answer my question at all.  The board I'm using is a Cerebot MX7cK.  It has an ICSP connector on it but the reference manual on page 16 says not to use it.  So how do I program this board.  The only two alternatives are Serial or USB.  Which is i and how do I set it up??  There are several serial ports and a couple of USB ports.  Lots of choices!!

  I actually tried to connect a PICKit 3 to the board but it didn't recognize the device!!!

 

Cheers
