Hello I tested the patch with the 1.30 version and: -the messages about free mode, bla bla, are suppressed as expected. - generated code (hex) is the same both in free mode as with the patch applied (last one published in this thread, working with 1.21). Reports from XC8 are identical. Also i compared both codes manually in a hex editor with no diferences. Since the code is quite simple (just blinking a led) i can't do any further affirmation, because perhaps there is nothing to optimize so the generated hex files are the same in both cases. Resuming: i don't know if the patch is still working and the PRO mode is really enabled.

The MPLAB XC8 is a full-featured, highly-optimized ANSI C compiler for the PIC10/12/16/18 microcontroller families. This compiler integrates into Microchips MPLAB(R) X IDE, is compatible with all Microchip debuggers and emulators, and runs on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.

Looks it's not enabled. I'll do more checks. « Last Edit: February 05, 2014, 04:43:41 16:43 by alichan » Logged.

Weird and suspicious. « Last Edit: February 05, 2014, 05:20:48 17:20 by alichan » Logged. Hi, Solution for new release is: 1. Open 'C: Program Files Microchip xc8 v1.32 bin picc.exe' file with hex editor.

Find these bytes '74 16 83 EC 08 56' and replace first two bytes with '90' ('90 90 83 EC 08 56'). Find these bytes '74 15 83 C3' and replace first byte with 'EB' ('EB 15 83 C3'). Do same with 'C: Program Files Microchip xc8 v1.32 bin picc18.exe' file. And use latest 'xclm' file from here. They check for modified xclm file as is in latest XC32 release.

I've included the dup2-project. Link for patch included in my next message below. « Last Edit: June 18, 2014, 06:30:14 06:30 by Wannabe » Logged. Hi, Solution for new release is: 1.

Is there a doctor in da house that can help me apply the medicine to my XC8 v1.35 installation on my Mac? I tried all the steps mentioned in this thread, but somehow can't get it to work. This is what I did: 1) I downloaded the files from the top post 2) My XC8 is installed as a free license (not the time limited Pro trial) 3) opened up the terminal, and moved to the install directory of the XC 8 compiler, whis in my case is: /Applications/microchip/mplabx/v3.20/mplab_ide.app/Contents/Resources/mplab_ide/ 4) tested the current state of the compiler with ' xc8 --chip=16f1516 --mode=pro' and get the following (expected) result: Microchip MPLAB XC8 C Compiler (Free Mode) V1.35 Build date: Jul 7 2015 Part Support Version: 1.35 (B) Copyright (C) 2015 Microchip Technology Inc. License type: Node Configuration (939) no file arguments (908) exit status = 1 5) I renamed the original xclm file to xclm.old 6) Copied the new xclm file from the download to my working directory 7) ran the new xclm using ' sudo./xclm', but got the (unexpected) result ' Nothing to do' 8) when I recheck the status of the comiler again with ' xc8 --chip=16f1516 --mode=pro', I still get the same result: Microchip MPLAB XC8 C Compiler (Free Mode) V1.35 Build date: Jul 7 2015 Part Support Version: 1.35 (B) Copyright (C) 2015 Microchip Technology Inc. License type: Node Configuration (939) no file arguments (908) exit status = 1 Am I doing something wrong? I'm running Mac OS X 10.11.2, with MPLAB X IDE v3.20, XC8 v1.35 with v1.35b part support.
