just got an ubw32 from sparkfun.. great..

soo.. need to get bootloader onto it to use it with mpide.

hmm icsp has 5 pins, my chipkitpgm has 6... well connect the arrow to vpp, lights up.. open the bootloader project, select ubw32 and c32 2.02..

failed to connect to device.. "Licensed Debugger: None (VID 04D8, PID 8108)"

raaage. I've programed MX250's with the chipkitpgm so I know it worked..

does the missing 6th pin have anything to do with it? (this pgm has been rma'd an supposedly replaced with a good one with the fix).

does not matter if I have it in program mode (flashing white leds, powered by usb) or not or connected to my bench psu in ext power mode (no white led in that case).

basically... I have a useles ubw32 that I cant program :( with either mplabx/pgm or mpide...

ugh.

in mpide tools->serial port is greyed out so I cant select /dev/ttyACM0 but I know its there...

wonder if my pgm died.. it didnt used to show in mplabx "Licensed Debugger: None (VID 04D8, PID 8108)", it was not "None" before...

something is toast and its probably the pgm. shiny new ubw32 and I cant play with it...

You can use mphidflash to program the UBW32.

There's a test version of MPIDE that we're working on that allows you to program boards using other things than avrdude, and mphidflash is the main reason for it :)

The latest test versions of MPIDE can be downloaded from [url]http://chipkit.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html?sort=lastmod&sortdir=desc[/url]. I have a test board that uses mphidflash that can be downloaded from [url]http://scratchpad.majenko.co.uk/prfm.tgz[/url] that you can use as a basis for setting up a UBW32 with mphidflash.

Also, the github repo is good to run from if you're wanting to go this route, as it will always contain the latest fixes - this is very new code and prone to problems, so doing that will ensure that you can keep up to date with the fixes.
