Hello there ... I don't see it on the selection list, but it exists on the Devices folder (PIC16F722.dev).
How can I use that file?
I am sorry if this is a dumb question, but I couldn't figure out how to load it.

Thanks a lot in advance,
Marcelo "Mockba" Dantas.

I think you can try to add this chip into the software.

Try this line:

Name="PIC16F722",ID="1880",Class="PIC16FXXX",Category="MCU",MFG="Microchip",CodeSize="4096",EepromSize="256",Package="DIP28",Speed="5",BEGPRG_COMMAND="18",ENDPRG_COMMAND="17",BEGERASECHIP_COMMAND="8",ERASECHIP_COMMAND="1F",PRG_MODE="0",CFGByteLabel="CP CCPMX DEBUG WRT1 WRT0 CPD LVP BOREN MCLRE FOSC2 PWRTEN WDTEN FOSC1 FOSC0";

Hi ZLM,

Thanks, I will add this line and give it a try.

Is there any guide or how-to on using these .dev files? What are they used for?

Is there a more advanced guide or how-to on adding devices to the devices.txt file? I see some information on page 21 of the user guide, but how can I come to the same line you suggested me?
How did you find the ID=1880?
What are the possible Classes?
What are the possible Categories?
How did you get to the commands? Is this something from the datasheets?

Thanks,
Marcelo.

The .dev file has most of information about this chip. I found the ID from .dev file.

The datasheet tells you about the chip packaged available.

Thanks.

Is there any documentation on how to create a .dev file? Any more in depth documentation than the user guide?

Thanks a lot,
Marcelo.

you do not need to create the .dev. It is standard file of Microchip.

Got it ... so it is a description of the device coming from Microchip themselves. I though it was some device description to add custom devices to the GQ-4X.
You answered my question.

Thanks,
Marcelo.
