3.13 PROGRAMMING THE DEVICE

Now that you have your data in program memory, you can program the device. Make

sure your PIC18F452 device is inserted in the appropriate socket on MPLAB PM3.

Then, select Programmer>Program

. The MPLAB IDE window will indicate the progress

and, when finished, the Output window will display the results (see Figure 3-17).

3.14 VERIFYING THE PROGRAMMING

Select Programmer>Verify to double-check the programming in the device. If any

address locations on the device do not match program memory, an error log will display

the discrepancies. If the bad data in the error log is 0000, try reseating the socket

module.

3.15 TUTORIAL SUMMARY

By completing this tutorial, you have performed the major steps for creating, building

and programming a simple project. Tasks completed include:

Selecting the device – the PIC18F452.

Using the Project Wizard to create a project, and using the wizard to:

• select MPLAB IDE built in MPASM assembler and MPLINK linker language tools,

• add files for the project: a template file for the device selected, and a linker script

to build it properly.

Writing some simple code to send a changing value out an I/O port.

Building the project.

And finally, programming the PIC18F452 device.

These are the essential steps for programming a device with MPLAB IDE and

MPLAB PM3.
