Start Bascom with Profile?

Hi All,

I am running Bascom 2.0.8.6 with two different target-MCU's attached via USB. They both have different COM-Port numbers.
The Options -> Programmer is the MCS Bootloader, which works fine.
BUT: I have to switch the COM-port every time I switch to the other target. And back!

Is there a way to start-up Bascom with a profile/config....., which includes the Programmer settings?

Thanks a lot
Felix

Hello,

Is it maybe back to COM3 and 9600baud?

Regards,

Try out $PROGRAMMER

Great, "$Programmer..." solves my problem perfectly, even better than with a profile.
Thank you, MWS

yes, MWS is one of the few that read the help Very Happy

to use a 'profile' you can use Options, Select Settings file and create a copy. the copy can have different parameters.
when you specify the option file with the xml extension as a parameter like : bascavr somesettings.xml then these settings will be loaded.
it is merely intended for support to check problems with the same settings as a customer.

the $programmer option is indeed intended to switch programmer. and since 2086 also the COM port when specified.

Thank you, albertsm, for the additional info.

With $Programmer, I am having the problem, that it doesn't select the COM-port.

In Options -> Programmer -> MCS Bootloader, COM-port is set to COM1.

In my code, I have the lines
$programmer = 13 , "COM3"
$regfile = "m328pdef.dat"
etc.

With <F4> the MCS Bootloader reports several times:
Log Window
Open COM1
Sending Init byte
Loader returned : 0

Am I missing any prerequisites for the COM-port to switch properly to COM3 ???

Thanks for help
Felice

Seems a bug, I can virtually write any nonsense behind $programmer without any change or complaint.

yes this is a bug for the mcs boot loader. for other serial based progs it will work. it will be addressed in the next release.
