Loading Firmware Issues

Hello,

I run PIC mcu simulation and later to load the firmware (hex file).
Firstly I tried loading some of the hex files from the example folder from SimulIDE, no issue and simulations were running well.

Next, I wrote & compiled my own C code on MPLABX IDE then I copied the hex file generated to SimulIDE folder containing the circuit I built. After building my led blinking circuit on SimulIDE and clicked on the mcu to load the firmware then I got "simulide has stopped working". This happened many times no matter if I relaunch the simulator or even restart my laptop.




Your kind help is very much appreciated.
Thanks.

Can you share your source code and hex file to test what is happening?

hi, thanks for replying.
below is the code (compiled using MPLABX IDE) and I couldn't attach the hex file (file type not supported for upload in this forum).

Code:

#include<xc.h>
#define _XTAL_FREQ 64000000L

void delay(unsigned int x);

void main(void)
{

   TRISBbits.TRISB7=0;
   
   while(1)
   {
      RB7=1;
      delay(1000);
      RB7=0;
      delay(1000);

   }


}

void delay(unsigned int x)
{
   for(;x>0;x--)__delay_ms(1);
}

I couldn't attach the hex file (file type not supported for upload in this forum).

To attach you can zip it.

Or you can open it in any editor and copy/paste here like you did with source code.

The problem is probably related to your compiler and I don't have it.

hi, copied below is the content of the hex file (I use Microchip XC8 v2.3 compiler running on MPLABX IDE):

Thank you very much.

I will have a look.

Confirmed, there is a problem in simulide with 18F248/258/448/458

I will solve it as soon as possible.
