Best version of PCWH right now?
PostPosted: Wed Jul 19, 2006 1:48 pm     Reply with quote

I'm starting a new project converting an old PIC 16C design to a PIC18F452 (or 18F4520). The old software was written in BytCraft MPC so it's very similar to CCS but some conversion will be necessary. I don't use most (if any) of the CCS libraries so I don't think that will be an issue.

I haven't been using PCWH for a while so my question is, which version of PCWH is the most stable and generally bug-free right now?

I have kept up my maintenance and have downloaded most all the updates over the past two years.

Thanks for any opinions on the matter. My application is pretty simple but I am hoping to head off any known problems with the compiler that I can.

I've been using 3.236 for quite a while now. No issues so far. I don't trust the newer versions - issues with RAM allocation.

I'm using v3.226 for some time now and am happy with it.
V3.227 changed handling of the PIC18 high priority interrupts (disabled during memcpy and some other functions), otherwise I would upgrade to v3.236.

v3.249... I don't know, it is out there for quite some time now but still considered beta release. It has some known bugs but I don't think anything serious, or otherwise CCS would have come with a new release by now. Wouldn't they? Wink
Anyway I think v2.236 and v2.249 are both good, most bugs in 3.249 are also present in v3.236 so it is up to you.

Thanks guys -- Sounds like 3.236 is pretty stable, I'll try it first and then 3.249 if I have any problems.
