PIC24EP and I2C issue

[Ttelmah]

So, do what I do, and keep the compilers separate.

Install into separate directories: PICC5072, PICC5073 etc.,

Rename the program 'ccsdownload.exe' (I call it 'ccsdownload.not'). This is the automatic downloader.

You can then just have separate shortcut links to as many versions as you want, and try new versions when required. If they don't work it is a matter of a couple of seconds to switch back to the older version.

I've currently got about forty versions I can use.

Then when I try a new version, I note in the source file what version I was using, so I know which one did work.

Oh sure, I do that, but using the CCS IDE selector.

Trouble is they may break something which has already been tested and may not show up for a while, so I stick with 5.070 until we ship

[Ttelmah]

The problem with the IDE selector, is it doesn't do a full switch.
The include files will be the new ones not the old.... :(

[Ttelmah]

Can confirm, that at least as far as the address for the I2C2 command register, 5.074 does fix things.

Can also confirm that a problem that was introduced by 5.072, and not fixed in 5.073 (again on PIC24's), which is why I too had been staying at 5.070, has also been fixed. (Hurrah!...).

Yes, a little 'bell' went off, when you said 5.070.
It was a double problem for me, since the chip I'm using needs to latest IDE to debug properly....
