Title: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: Top on March 29, 2012, 12:08:30 00:08 Fix for MPLAB® XC Compilers
http://www.microchip.com/pagehandler/en_us/promo/mplabxc/ (http://www.microchip.com/pagehandler/en_us/promo/mplabxc/) Windows, Linux & Mac OS X 13-Aug-2012; Updated for v1.10 compilers. 14-Aug-2012; MPLAB XC32 C++ license activated. 01-Jan-2013; License info update. 12-Jun-2014; Updated for v1.32 compilers. 19-Jun-2014; Fixed issue with XC32 compilers. Title: Re: MPLAB XC Compilers Post by: LithiumOverdosE on June 04, 2012, 04:14:50 16:14 XC8 is based on HiTech PICC + PICC18 with compatibility mode for C18.
XC16 is ex-C30. XC32 is ex-C32. Since MPLABX 1.20 all XCx tool chains are present. However, now my Proteus tool chain disappeared but that's hardly a problem for the moment. Title: Re: MPLAB XC Compilers Post by: MichelM on June 16, 2012, 10:28:08 10:28 Hello
You will find user guide and instruction to add compiler plugin to mplab X here http://www.microchip.com/pagehandler/en_us/promo/mplabxc/ (http://www.microchip.com/pagehandler/en_us/promo/mplabxc/) http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/52053A.pdf (http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/52053A.pdf) http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/Market_Communication/addXC8ToMplabX.pdf (http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/Market_Communication/addXC8ToMplabX.pdf) Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: Top on August 01, 2012, 01:21:24 13:21 The link in dl.txt is not working any more. Original post updated; new links in dl.txt. Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: LithiumOverdosE on August 11, 2012, 12:11:37 12:11 I just tried this fix with XC8 1.10 and the compiler stays in Free mode.
With XC8 1.00 and 1.01 everything is fine. Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: Top on August 11, 2012, 12:50:39 12:50 I just tried this fix with XC8 1.10 and the compiler stays in Free mode. Try replacing xclm.exe in C:\Program Files\Microchip\xc8\v1.10\bin folder. Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: LithiumOverdosE on August 11, 2012, 01:05:56 13:05 Ah, so that was the trick. In previous versions it was enough to replace it in C:\Program Files\Microchip\xclm directory. ;)
Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: marcodassi on August 12, 2012, 11:09:13 11:09 Just downloaded XC8, XC16 and XC32 1.10; tested with current fix; results:
- XC8 1.10 - fine, works in Pro mode with all optimizations; - XC16 1.10 - fine, works in Pro mode with all optimizations; - XC32 1.10 - DOESN'T WORK - the compiler stays in Free mode, no optimizations allowed I've tried to copy xclm.exe in the "\Program Files\Microchip\xc32\v1.10\bin" folder too, with no luck. Please fix it, if possibile :) Thank you very much in advance! :) Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: cranor on September 13, 2012, 03:23:12 15:23 The version v1.41 of MPLAB® X IDE is available from here : http://www.microchip.com/mplabx-ide-windows-installer
It solves some of compilation and compiler detection issues with XC compilers but introduces new problems too.. Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: SpaleKG on October 07, 2012, 11:44:27 23:44 Just to confirm that current fix works fine on Mac OSX on all XC compilers.
I have one question about MPLAB X IDE. How to configure project when using bootloader in PIC. For example bootloader uses first 200 bytes of FLASH memory, so how to tell compiler to generate hex to start after that ? Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: jukinch on October 07, 2012, 11:54:45 23:54 SpaleKG:
you can use a project specific "linker script" to start after that memory location. Jukinch Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: odessa on October 08, 2012, 09:47:22 09:47 You can set a code offset from within MPlab X. If you right click your project - select properties - then click linker - Choose additional options from the drop down menu on the right you'll see a code offset option.
Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: SpaleKG on October 13, 2012, 12:33:34 12:33 You can set a code offset from within MPlab X. If you right click your project - select properties - then click linker - Choose additional options from the drop down menu on the right you'll see a code offset option. Does this move interrupt vector adresses too or I need to do that somehow? Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: Gallymimu on October 13, 2012, 05:36:53 17:36 Does this move interrupt vector adresses too or I need to do that somehow? I'm pretty sure you can't move the interrupt vector addresses. Some of the PIC processors have alternate interrupt vector tables which follow directly in memory after the primary interrupt vectors but that doesn't help you much with typical bootloader related issues. You can however point the interrupt vectors to a jump table that resides in your application memory space that can then be overwritten when you load a new firmware. That way you can update interrupt function locations without overwriting the first segments of memory.

Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: j2mb on November 28, 2012, 03:48:26 03:48 I'm using MPLAB X IDE v1.51 and compiler XC8 v1.11 and is working well! :D :D :D
Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: metal on November 28, 2012, 03:50:55 03:50 u'r kidding me!?
Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: TucoRamirez on November 28, 2012, 08:31:47 08:31 the thing that confuses me about mplabX is that even if my code is ok, mplab show me "!" signs ... (even with XC demos or the application libraries -that compile 100/100 ok ) ... anyway, the config tool inside is quite nice :)
but, mplabx is crappy slow on my eeepc netbook (1G Ram ... ) ...but in a 4GB elitebook hp runs ok :) ... Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: LithiumOverdosE on November 28, 2012, 11:06:14 11:06 I'm using MPLAB X IDE v1.51 and compiler XC8 v1.11 and is working well! :D :D :D Well, same here on Win7 x64. Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: Gallymimu on November 28, 2012, 03:26:02 15:26 the thing that confuses me about mplabX is that even if my code is ok, mplab show me "!" signs ...

I have a lot of problems with this as well. They don't have the parsing working quite right yet. It's especially bad in XC8 Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: gamegurus on December 03, 2012, 09:04:41 09:04 After install, How to check, if XC compiler is free or PRO versions?
I tried all ways 1) cmd 2) compile test and see output in MPLABX but didnt find any such info. Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: TucoRamirez on December 03, 2012, 01:07:32 13:07 check the project properties, in the part of compiler tou will see the options of optimisation
Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: Gallymimu on December 03, 2012, 04:22:27 16:22 check the project properties, in the part of compiler tou will see the options of optimisation I don't think that tells you, all options always show in the properties. You need to run the compiler and look at the output. It should say it is running in free mode and omniscient code generation is disabled if it is in free mode. Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: ximo on December 24, 2012, 09:37:32 09:37 XC8 v1.12 is working ok with this fix. Tested on Ubuntu 12.04.
Regards Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: juvann on December 31, 2012, 08:57:53 08:57 This is my first message in this forum. I want to share the source code of my xclm, I developed it before register to Sonsivri.
Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: metal on December 31, 2012, 11:50:23 11:50 Attached is codeblocks project to generate executables.
juvann: does it work for all compilers? Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: juvann on December 31, 2012, 06:03:05 18:03 Yes works with all compilers. Tested on Windows and Linux with latest version of xc8, xc16 and xc32
With linux and MacOSX you can compile with: Code: gcc -o xclm xclm.c Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: jayanthd on December 31, 2012, 08:33:07 20:33 Hi! juvann
Should I compile xclm.c and use the xclm.exe with all the XC Compilers? Will it work? Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: juvann on December 31, 2012, 09:11:59 21:11 Sure jayanthd just replace the original xclm.exe distributed by Microchip with new compiled and you have all optimizations enabled. In new versions the path of xclm.exe is changed. Now every compiler has own xclm.exe, but you can change every xclm with this.
I posted the source code, because I don't like replace file without see the source code. The original post use the same method, replace the original xclm.exe with a fake xclm. Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: jayanthd on December 31, 2012, 10:11:38 22:11 Sure jayanthd just replace the original xclm.exe distributed by Microchip with new compiled and you have all optimizations enabled. In new versions the path of xclm.exe is changed. Now every compiler has own xclm.exe, but you can change every xclm with this. OK. I got it. Where can I get XC32++ Compiler. There is only standard version at microchip site to try. I need the Pro version of XC32++ Compiler.I posted the source code, because I don't like replace file without see the source code. The original post use the same method, replace the original xclm.exe with a fake xclm. Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: juvann on December 31, 2012, 11:49:53 23:49 C++ is include in XC32 from version 1.11. You can download a free license from Microchip. I never tested XC32++, I will try it with fake xclm.
EDIT New version, now is supported also PRO for C++, just replace xclm in xc32/bin/ directory and works C and C++. Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: pumper on February 26, 2013, 02:48:48 14:48 hi juvan
Can you upload your code here ? and give us some information about the source. Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: juvann on March 01, 2013, 09:55:33 21:55 You can download the source from link without problem, I tried it now.
What information do you want? xclm with exit code give the level of license to the compiler. For XC8 there is also a lookup table for calculate an hash. Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: Ichan on March 02, 2013, 03:20:58 15:20 Will the XC environment (the MPLAB + all the compilers) run side by side with the older one?
Looks like i have to start working with it, but i always hate updating software if it will ruin my current projects. -ichan Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: Sideshow Bob on March 02, 2013, 03:33:12 15:33 I Have XC8, and the older Hi-Tech C 9.80, and 9.83, and the 18 series Hi-Tech compiler running under MPLAB in perfect harmony. You just select the compiler you want to use as normal.
Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: Ichan on March 02, 2013, 03:44:41 15:44 Thank you, and how about MPLAB 8.x vs MPLAB XC, will they installed and run side by side?
-ichan Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: Sideshow Bob on March 02, 2013, 04:00:10 16:00 Each time I tried to use MPLABX. I got pissed off. So I dropped it. I have MPLABX installed and they work side by side. But as I see it MPLABX is still beta. And the documentation is still inadequate. Better with the devil you know, as they say
Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: Gallymimu on March 02, 2013, 10:27:59 22:27 Thank you, and how about MPLAB 8.x vs MPLAB XC, will they installed and run side by side? -ichan yes you can use them both but you have to use the driver switcher tool each time you want to use the other IDE (the usb drivers for the IDEs is different). The driver switcher tool is easy to use. Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: Brosske on March 03, 2013, 10:15:57 10:15 Hi Bob, must say that I did a lot of research before I choosed the compiler/linker/programmer-suite (had to do for work - influencing a lot of novice students).
Finaly I went for Wiz-C. But now I was forced to go back to MPLAB for library reasons (USB, MiWi and next project will be TCP/IP). We can't ignore that MPLAB is the standard, and the only way MicroChip will assure assistance. So with a little help of an old-student I find the X not so bad finaly.... The clue is to get 'in' it, and to have someone besides you to figure out the most common errors. I think µC did do some demo-videos, and should invest more in demo-projects (debugger included). Greetz. :-) Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: Ichan on March 09, 2013, 10:19:20 22:19 I hold my hand to play with MPLAB X for now, but i have to with XC8 as the PICC doesn't support newer chips any longer.
Playing with XC8 for a while, a question: What should "License Type" shows? Or perhaps, is it not important? With Top's xclm.exe: Microchip MPLAB XC8 C Compiler V1.12 Copyright (C) 2012 Microchip Technology Inc. License type: w With Juvann's xclm.exe: Microchip MPLAB XC8 C Compiler V1.12 Copyright (C) 2012 Microchip Technology Inc. License type: Node Configuration Both compiled successful and gave exactly the same flash and ram usage. -ichan Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: Top on March 09, 2013, 10:22:44 22:22 It's not important but it should read 'Node Configuration' as in Juvann's code; mine needs updating :-[
Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: SpaleKG on January 04, 2014, 07:47:14 19:47 Hi,
Just to add about MPLAB X. You also can change xclm executable to hacked/compiled one (it is the same file as in compiler's /bin folder. The location of bin folder in MPLAB X app (I don't know where is it on windows and linux but there is location for MAC OS X): /Applications/microchip/mplabx/mplab_ide.app/Contents/Resources/mplab_ide/bin/ So simply replace original xclm executable with cracked one (this is just in case that MPLAB X uses he's own xclm together with compiler binaries). One more thing about compiling xclm on MAC OS X. Here is output of GCC compile: Code: spale@macpro:~/Downloads/Safari$ gcc -o xclm xclm.c My platform: Mac OS X 10.9.1 (Mavericks) GCC version: Code: spale@macpro:~/Downloads/Safari$ gcc --version Executable working well, but you can see those warnings, so it can be update for OSX (with few precompiled definitions). Thanks, Spale. Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: myheadhurts on January 14, 2014, 03:05:24 15:05 Hi
Q. Does the replacement xclm.exe allow the xc compilers to run without being authorised by internet?. I have an induction motor project I'd like to try....possibly using a DSPic33 and using the Microchip FOC examples as a starting point. but my main work related PC at home is never connected to the outside internet ,just to a home LAN. I have copied and installed MPLab and the xc compilers .but they want to connect to the outside world to authorise. cheers Rob Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: LithiumOverdosE on January 14, 2014, 06:10:43 18:10 Most likely MPLAB X is trying to install or update plugins.
Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: Catcatcat on January 15, 2014, 06:44:53 06:44 Quote I have copied and installed MPLab and the xc compilers .but they want to connect to the outside world to authorise. That is, if you try to set at 60 day trial. Set as the simplest form and then will take the treatment. Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: myheadhurts on January 19, 2014, 03:25:24 15:25 That is, if you try to set at 60 day trial. Set as the simplest form and then will take the treatment. YES..that cured it .. Strange thing is... I thought I had opted to set it to the free version and not the trial thanks Rob. Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: ehnonymouse on January 20, 2014, 08:50:12 20:50 For XC8 compiler, the medicine works well for V1.21, but for V1.30 I get the following errors on Win 8.1
C:\Users\Ken\AppData\Local\Temp\s2q8.:8016: error: syntax error C:\Users\Ken\AppData\Local\Temp\s2q8.:8026: error: syntax error Windows 7 gives me C:\Users\Ken\AppData\Local\Temp\s1es.:8097: error: syntax error C:\Users\Ken\AppData\Local\Temp\s1es.:8107: error: syntax error Selecting V1.21 again, everything works. Maybe there's something different in the compiler, but the error message isn't helpful. Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: Catcatcat on January 21, 2014, 06:11:04 06:11 On my projects, everything works without error (WINDOWS 8.0)
Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: TucoRamirez on January 21, 2014, 12:46:40 12:46 i'm a little bit off topic but... does the xclm fine works with the dspic new simulink blockset ? because they have a bon folder with a xclm implicated. best regards
Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: Diramo on January 22, 2014, 08:54:34 08:54 XC8 compiler works in "free mode". xclm.exe was replaced with the Top's medicine.
I changed back to the 1.21 - no any problems. May be I did something wrong? Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: Interprog on January 22, 2014, 05:12:15 17:12 XC8 1.30 works
delete the XC8 1.21 folder, install 1.30 and replace xclm Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: Catcatcat on January 23, 2014, 07:50:21 19:50 I installed version 1.20, 1.21, 1.30, and at the same time all work. :)
Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: ehnonymouse on January 24, 2014, 02:55:58 14:55 Now I'm thinking my issue is a compiler bug.
Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: malinbay on May 15, 2014, 11:09:52 23:09 C++ is include in XC32 from version 1.11. You can download a free license from Microchip. I never tested XC32++, I will try it with fake xclm. EDIT New version, now is supported also PRO for C++, just replace xclm in xc32/bin/ directory and works C and C++. re-upload please.. Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: green_paint on May 20, 2014, 11:27:25 23:27 I installed the medicine on a XC8 v1.30 compiled program. The program memory used was reduced significantly, (from 75% to %22.5 in standard mode and to %16.5 in pro mode).
A problem arises when a function where strings are handled, stops working when its compiled in pro mode. In standard and free mode the algorithm works just fine. Does anyone had this kind of a problem? Regards Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: Ichan on May 21, 2014, 03:45:55 03:45 If the strings are in the program memory then i think it is packed as 7 bit characters. Me will try to find on the manual if there is a way to disable this feature.
-ichan Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: Catcatcat on May 21, 2014, 04:30:19 04:30 I think this is not a problem medicine is a problem of the compiler, "at the current stage of development" :D
Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: h0nk on May 21, 2014, 07:55:38 07:55 Hello green-paint, For midrange devices XC8 doesnt use the DA directive to pack 7-bit ASCII's into a 14 bit word, because there is no generic way to access flash memory on a range of PIC devices. If a variable is declared const, XC8 generates code to access the variable via RETLW instructions. Otherwise XC8 reserves a chunk of memory (aka registers) and copies the string into this chunk. This might inappropriate for large static text :-). It would be helpful to separate Your source into relevant pieces and take a look at the generated code and to separate out the part at which the compiler fails. Best Regards Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: metal on May 21, 2014, 08:15:40 08:15 this is why we were hoping that microchip bought cc5x instead of hitech :D

It is solved, xc8 1.32 run in pro mode now. :D The problem was it not found the xclm.old. The environment variable path was false.

after trying the last patches from Top, I find these: the previous xclm.exe (19968 bytes-12/6/2014) is working well in xc8-1.32 and xc16-1.21 and the last xclm.exe ( 26624 bytes-20/6/2014) is working only in xc32-1.32 regards mitsos unistall/reinstall the compilers and apply the patch using the last xclm.exe (26624 bytes) Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: Top on July 04, 2014, 10:57:51 22:57 and the last xclm.exe ( 26624 bytes-20/6/2014) is working only in xc32-1.32 The 'last xclm.exe' should work with all compilers; be careful when swapping xclm.exe, you must always rename the old xclm.exe to xclm.old and then run xclm.exe once as admin to maintain the correct hash in the compilers. If you have any problems then open a command prompt, change to your install directory and run xclm.exe, if you have a v1.32 compiler then you should see 'OK'.

This is what I did: 1) I downloaded the files from the top post 2) My XC8 is installed as a free license (not the time limited Pro trial) 3) opened up the terminal, and moved to the install directory of the XC 8 compiler, whis in my case is : /Applications/microchip/mplabx/v3.20/mplab_ide.app/Contents/Resources/mplab_ide/ 4) tested the current state of the compiler with "xc8 --chip=16f1516 --mode=pro" and get the following (expected) result: Microchip MPLAB XC8 C Compiler (Free Mode) V1.35 Build date: Jul 7 2015 Part Support Version: 1.35 (B) Copyright (C) 2015 Microchip Technology Inc. License type: Node Configuration (939) no file arguments (908) exit status = 1 5) I renamed the original xclm file to xclm.old 6) Copied the new xclm file from the download to my working directory 7) ran the new xclm using "sudo ./xclm", but got the (unexpected) result "Nothing to do" 8) when I recheck the status of the comiler again with "xc8 --chip=16f1516 --mode=pro", I still get the same result: Microchip MPLAB XC8 C Compiler (Free Mode) V1.35 Build date: Jul 7 2015 Part Support Version: 1.35 (B) Copyright (C) 2015 Microchip Technology Inc. License type: Node Configuration (939) no file arguments (908) exit status = 1 Am I doing something wrong? PS. I'm running Mac OS X 10.11.2, with MPLAB X IDE v3.20, XC8 v1.35 with v1.35b part support. Any help is greatly appreciated!

It should have been "/Applications/microchip/xc8/v1.35/bin" After reverting the changes I made in the wrong directory, and applying the patch to the correct directory, it now shows the following after running ./xclm: Patched 40 bytes in file ./cgpic Patched 40 bytes in file ./cgpic18 Patched 40 bytes in file ./picc Patched 40 bytes in file ./picc18 Patched SHA in 4 of 4 files And verification of the patch with "xc8 --chip=16f1516 --mode=pro" returns: Microchip MPLAB XC8 C Compiler (PRO Mode) V1.35 Build date: Jul 7 2015 Part Support Version: 1.35 (B) Copyright (C) 2015 Microchip Technology Inc.

(http://i.imgur.com/BtZatxA.png) Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: houly on July 17, 2016, 07:48:37 19:48 Hello all,
I just installed last MPLAB x IDE and I'm wondering if I have to download the compiler in a second time or does it still integrated to MPLAB X ? in case of there is no compiler comes with MPLAB, do I have to download them in free version to apply the patch ? does the sticked file are still compatible with recent version of compilers .. .? Thanks for your help. Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: mars01 on July 17, 2016, 08:30:21 20:30 The XC compiler is not installed silently when the MPLABX is installed but at the end of the installation a window will pop up and it will advise you to go to the Microchip page and install the XC compiler and some other software like Code Configurator.
So if you did not installed at one stage the XC compiler you need to install it. Manually. You can check in Program Files folder (or Program Files (x86) for a x64 windows) in the Microchip folder if there is an XC folder. As for the question if the patch still works, all you have to do is to read the post before yours... there is a nice black picture with the results, also :) But since now there is a 1.38 version of the XC8 compiler, I can tell you that it works with this one, too. And with the XC16 v1.26, too. Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: TucoRamirez on August 23, 2016, 12:06:10 12:06 works on 1.38 too :)

- you move the original xclm.exe from the BIN folder, somewhere else; then you rename it from xclm.exe to xclm.old; - in the same location where you now have xclm.old, you copy the "fixed" xclm.exe; - now, you move both files ("fixed" xclm.exe and xclm.old) back to the BIN folder from the compiler installation folder; - you open a Command Prompt as Administrator in the folder BIN of the XC compiler and you run xclm.exe; you will see a bunch of messages that files are patched; I am not sure if it is needed anymore, but at some point there was a need to copy the "fixed" xclm.exe also to the BIN folder from the MPLABX installation folder. LE: Given the message received, you may need to completely uninstall the XC16 compiler, clean the leftover folders and then reinstall and follow the above procedure.

Ah sorry i didnt saw the second file with the second url. Now i have the exe and i shall try to patch xc8. So no success. on 1.43. i will try later.

Regards Notepad++ https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/v7.0/ ? Not really an IDE but you can have the C keywords highlighted and once you used a keyword is also included in the Completer. Or perhaps Code::Blocks http://codeblocks.org/ Compiling then can be done in command line (you can make some scripts for that).

Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: Crackn on January 13, 2021, 03:49:08 03:49 hello,
maybe this is a little bit offtopic but I am writing to confirm that XC8 v2.31 running inside the new Microchip Studio (old atmel studio 7), works fine with medicine. you just need to copy and run xclm.exe and xclm.old to avr folders like you do for pic folders. ex.: \xc8\v2.31\bin \xc8\v2.31\avr\avr\bin \xc8\v2.31\avr\bin \xc8\v2.31\avr\libexec\gcc\avr\5.4.0 \xc8\v2.31\pic\bin cheers. :) Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: metal on January 13, 2021, 09:14:25 09:14 There is no need, just do the following and it should work OK:
rename original xclm.exe into xclm.old inside "C:\Program Files\Microchip\xc8\v2.31\bin". Copy cracked xclm.exe to "C:\Program Files\Microchip\xc8\v2.31\bin". Copy cracked xclm.exe and xclm.old to "C:\Program Files\Microchip\xc8\v2.31" Open a cmd as admin in this location: "C:\Program Files\Microchip\xc8\v2.31", and run xclm.exe that's it. Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: saeed7701 on January 13, 2021, 05:17:35 17:17 Hi , I installed Microchip Studio V 7 today and for xc8 I use this patch ( xclm.exe) and the method for AVR folder in the XC8 and I patched it , How can I find that this patch work correctly ? this patch can be useful for Microchip Studio ?

Microchip Studio will show a warning message if the compiler is not patched correctly.

Thank You Very Much there is no other way, just the correct way. you need to use the xclm.exe with size of 26K. rename the original xclm.exe to xclm.old and copy both xclm.old and xclm.exe to these folders: \xc8\v2.31\bin \xc8\v2.31\avr\avr\bin \xc8\v2.31\avr\bin \xc8\v2.31\avr\libexec\gcc\avr\5.4.0 \xc8\v2.31\pic\bin you need to run it at command line with administrator rights. and check if after you run the xclm.exe, it shows you some messages saying that files are patched (see attached files). obs. I did this method in 3 computers running windows 10 64bits and all worked fine. cRACKn Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: saeed7701 on January 13, 2021, 08:11:10 20:11 yes , I use 26k size of xclm.exe and patch with instruction but I don't know why it doesn't work

Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: Manuel on October 29, 2021, 02:37:42 14:37 1) MPLAB Code Coverage Overview
The MPLAB® Code Coverage feature provides visibility as to what portions of your code are being executed. Run your test cases to completion for a visual display of coverage. The MPLAB Code Coverage feature requires the following tools: An MPLAB XC C compiler, either Free or PRO, that supports code coverage output, starting with MPLAB XC8 v2.10, MPLAB XC16 v1.40, and MPLAB XC32 v2.30. The MPLAB Code Coverage (SW006026-COV) license that provides visibility as to what portions of your code are being executed. MPLAB X IDE v5.25 or later, which supports the display of code coverage data from an MPLAB XC C compiler with the MPLAB Code Coverage license. 2) Functional Safety Compiler Ease the burden of your functional safety qualification with the MPLAB XC8 Functional Safety Compiler License - a TÜV SÜD certified compiler package that supports 8-bit PIC® and AVR® microcontrollers. This compiler license has been certified in accordance with the following functional safety standards: ISO 26262 IEC 61508 IEC 62304 IEC 60730 ...... Just for info you . take care, X! Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: Catcatcat on October 31, 2021, 07:32:48 07:32 This summer I studied the mechanisms of unit testing the code and activating Code Coverage in MPLAB would be very useful.
Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: mars01 on October 31, 2021, 11:25:44 11:25 Is this `Code Coverage` really useful?
From I've read here: https://microchipdeveloper.com/mplabx:code-coverage it looks like it is dependent on the level of optimizations selected for the compiler. Which means it will be different if this feature is activated for optimized vs non-optimized code, while having optimizations activated means that there may be differences between C code highlight and what get executed. Also if you write a lot of one-liners it will give the uncertain `yellow` coding. https://onlinedocs.microchip.com/pr/GUID-CC9F71E9-AEF1-4C2B-8AC2-069D15B83A79-en-US-2/index.html?GUID-EEE4D157-B8BA-4B4B-B96A-34BD8601CD2A Cat, do you have some resources for unit testing? Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: Catcatcat on November 01, 2021, 05:25:57 05:25 This is what my training was based on http://www.throwtheswitch.org/ .
https://habr.com/ru/post/244835/ There is an article here (although it is in Russian, but a Google translator to help) Yes, this mechanism works. But it is relevant when you develop code without real hardware. If you write code and test it in ready-made hardware, then 90 percent of you solve all your problems.

Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: danymogh on March 11, 2022, 04:19:31 16:19 I've been super curious about the compiler differences in code generation and have been looking into it ever since.
so far I've found out that the license protection mechanism is different for version 2.10 of xc8 for it's PIC part. this is very strange since the AVR part still uses the SHA256 checksum to validate xclm but the PIC bins use another algorithm which looks to be SHA1 but it's not. this means my medicine or tops medicine won't work for that version. I've not checked for V2.00 or other versions up to 2.32 as for compiler optimization, I also found another bug which is for the MPLAB IDE v5.35. that is when you create a project and assign the compiler settings, only the initial values are used even after changing the compiler settings again. you can check what compiler parameters are being passed just but examining the build info window. another thing I noticed about the pictures patchjack sent is that the IDE is not showing License Pro information in the dashboard which could be an indicator that either that patch doesn't work or is not applied for that version. Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: Top on March 11, 2022, 06:09:30 18:09 I think my fix works for all versions, including version 2.10 and up to the latest version. xc8 was never using SHA256 for PIC compilers ;)

It is found that after adding support for AVR single-chip microcomputer, the activation mechanism of the compiler has changed a little. The latest version of XC16 is still valid, and XC32 has not been verified.

We can't release the source code for our product, but I can show a screenshot of the comparison.The PC OS is Win7 X64, X IDE is V5.35,The compiler sets the optimization level to -s. p2 is v2.36 after patching generated. p3 is v2.00 with workstation PRO licence generated. I can guarantee it was generated by the same project.It can be seen from the picture that cracking is ineffective and the optimization effect is obviously different.Cracking is valid for v1.45 and below.

Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: ucdesign on May 25, 2022, 11:07:57 23:07 I'm pretty sure that MPLAB X is now detecting the cracking of the XC32 compillers.
The compilers themselves seem to work OK (although I had problems with versions previous to v3.01 generating bad code, where it was missing a "nop" after a "jr ra" in a function that followed another function that had attribute "naked"), but I cannot debug due to a series of weird behavior and bugs. Some of the simptoms are: - Breakpoints doesn't work randomly - Watches don't work correctly - Debugger hanging after pressing of the pause button - Many other annoiances. I'm sure it is intentional because I installed MPLAB X and XC32 inside a virtual machine with a freshly installed Windows 10 and without any cracks, then I could debug without any problems. Then, in my real computer, I uninstalled absolutely everything from Microchip and Atmel and cleaned the registry of anything related to Microchip and Atmel. Then I reinstalled MPLAB X and the latest versions of the compillers. Now I can debug with no issues, with the simulator, ICD3 and PICKit 4. Cheers.

it is possible for MPLAB X to detect cracked compiler since it has its own license checking mechanism. @patchjack The Functional safety cannot be unlocked using top medicine. Don't bother with it because it's no different from the standard version. the functional safety license just includes additional documents for companies who need extra verification for their software and need the functional safety badge. for example medical and automotive devices.

That is fascinating in 2 aspects patchjack actually went for an answer and they had to go though all the build logs to show him that code coverage was turned on. on the other hand, one of the xc compiler authors explains a very interesting optimization option which i did not know."Constant caching " ! the few extra bytes of RAM in newer versions are actually constant that are stored in flash memory and the compiler allocated a space in RAM to speed up the program. the compiler does this only when you are not using the remaining of the RAM. very interesting !

Thanks a lot Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: patchjack on July 27, 2022, 12:18:38 12:18 Hi, I want to install MPLAB and XC compilers, which version could be cracked with this medicine ? ( XC8 , XC16 , XC32 ) All versions can be cracked, I'm sure.Thanks a lot Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: crack_learning on August 20, 2022, 01:31:36 13:31 All versions can be cracked, I'm sure. Should be :)The thing is, there is a site somewhere on the internet that tells you how to activate the optimization in the compiler. On the other hand, on microchip site, there is a place where all archived tools are available. Also the XC8,16,32 compilers with source code. Since they are based on GCC, I guess they have to make them public. But first you have to find the source code. Then download it. Then extract it. For me it took half a day, beucase they used some fancy compressing tool that I did not had. Afterwile I had the source code on my disk. Half a day! And it was for a MAC environment. But that is not problem. You can find the place, where they call the xclm.exe. They just simply check the return value of it, and the return value is the license type. However before they call the exe, they check if the hash of it is still the same as stored in the compiler. So your task is very simple. Calculate the SHA-256 hash of xclm.exe. Find it in all the executables of the compiler. Stored in plain text. Now prepare a new xclm.exe that only returns 6. Or 2. I do not remember. Put it in place of the original one. Calculate the new hash of it, and replace it every where. Now you should have a cracked compiler. Since the source code of the Compiler is open source, you do not even need gHidra or xdbg64. Just read the source code. Only the source code of xclm.exe is not open. But that you do not need at all. Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: danymogh on August 20, 2022, 05:27:19 17:27 XC8 is not based on GCC, did you find the source for that as well?
Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: crack_learning on August 21, 2022, 03:13:42 03:13 XC8 is not based on GCC, did you find the source for that as well? You have right. The XC8 is not GCC. I rarely use it, that is why I was thinking it is. And no, there are no source codes for the XC8 PIC compiler. Just for the AVR which is for this tipic irrelevant :( However it looks for me, they use the same licensing mechanism for the XC8 compiler as for the XC16 or XC32. (Note it was a long time I used XC8, so I just assume my crack folder is working:) ) Title: Re: XC Compilers - Software ONLY Post by: Poty on September 04, 2022, 03:15:59 03:15 xc8 v2.40 available.
