SYNOPSIS
The pic.conf file is a configuration file for the Odyssey PIC programming tool. It contains sections, each defining the programming parameters for a particular PIC microcontroller device. The format of pic.conf is documented here for quick reference.FILE FORMAT
The file consists of sections and variables. A section begins with the name of the section in square brackets and ends at the next section header. It is the same format used by odyssey.conf.In each section are a set of variable=value assignments. Each of these defines a specific parameter of the PIC. The following is a listing of all the currently defined variable names and their types. If a PIC doesn't support some feature, the variables do not need to be defined for that feature.
- memtype (string)
- The type of memory in the PIC. This can have one of the values "eprom", "flash", or "flashe". "eprom" can be used for any eprom/OTP device. "flash" can be used for any type of electronically erasable device. "flashe" is similar to "flash" but in the programming cycle, the END_PROG command is required.
- wordsize (integer)
- The size of an instruction word in bits.
- codesize (integer)
- The number of words of program memory.
- eesize (integer)
- The number of bytes of data EEPROM. If the device doesn't have a data EEPROM, this can be set to 0 or not specified at all.
- progcount (integer)
- The maximum number of times to attempt to program a memory location before reporting an error. Defined in the programming spec.
- progmult (integer)
- The multiplier for the number of times to overprogram. Defined in the programming spec.
- progtime (integer)
- The number of microseconds in each programming attempt for one memory location. To be on the safe side, the maximum value from the datasheet should be used for flash devices.
- erasetime (integer)
- The number of microseconds that a bulk erase takes.
- configmask (integer)
- A bitmask of all valid (non-reserved) configuration bits.
- configdefault (integer)
- The default value of the configuration bits after an erase.
- configsave (integer)
- A bitmask of persistent bits in the configuration word. These bits will be saved before and restored after a chip erase. They will also not be modifiable when programming the device.
- cp_mask (integer)
- A bitmask of all the code protection bits.
- cp_all (integer)
- The value of the code protection bits when all program memory is code protected.
- cp_none (integer)
- The value of the code protection bits when no program memory is code protected.
- cpd_mask (integer)
- A bitmask of the bit(s) that enable data memory code protection.
- cpd_on (integer)
- The value of the cpd bit(s) when data code protection is enabled.
- cpd_off (integer)
- The value of the cpd bit(s) when data code protection is disabled.
- bkbug_mask (integer)
- A bitmask for the bit(s) which enable the on-chip background debugger.
- bkbug_on (integer)
- The value of the bkbug bits when the debugger is enabled.
- bkbug_off (integer)
- The value of the bkbug bits when the debugger is disabled.
