Tiny Bootloader stoped working (by Andre Botelho)
Hello,
I have a development board to program the PIC 18F4520, and the programa it came with is the tiny bootloader. It worked great until it simply stopped working, I now always get the message "Connected to \\.\COM3 at 115200
Searching for PIC ...Not found,
ERROR!"
I'm using a USB communication with the board and i was putting a program on the pic when it happened, a programa that I had put in before.
Thanks in advance,
André

I think you should ask this question in the Tiny bootloader forum. Things you could look at.
- Did the config of the chip get overwritten (i.e. external Xtal oscillator, where you have no crystal attached since you plan to use the internal oscillator).
- Did Windows perform one of it's tricks, and your USB cable is now COM12 (not COM3) anymore ?? Check this in your PC configuration. This can be result of plugging USB-RS232 cable in a different USB connector on your PC.
