 Error in Hex File - Fuse (18F4550)

Hi,

I'm programming an 18F4550. If I set any configuration bits in the MPLAB assembler, I get an error when loading the hex file, such as:

Error in Hex File - Fuse

Line: 14
:0100000001FE

If I don't configure anything, then set the fuses manually in the programmer, it works. However, it's very tedious to manually configure the fuses every time I program the chip.

Has anyone run across this? I haven't had this problem with any of the 12F and 16F chips I've programmed.

This is a problem with the software supplied with the programmer. It won't use a single-byte entry in the hex code and it needs to be updated.

There is a workaround, in case anyone else experiences this problem.

In MPLAB, after compiling the program, select FILE, EXPORT and export the hex code. This will write the hex code without using single-byte entries and the programmer software will accept it.
