Problem: import V5 in to V6

Post by MJU »

I have got a few V5 (for PIC) files that I was working on.
In V5 they work well, and get compiled and send to the chip without problems.

When I try to send them to the chip in V6 there are a few errors.
Can_init seems to be different in V6 and the whole process stops.

When V5 came out, I never had that problem with previous versions.

It seems to me that a previous version should work fine in a newer version?
Maybe I can send the files to someone @ Matrix so they can review them and make sure the import of older files work seamlessly in V6?

Thanks

Hi MJU,
I know there is going to be a patch released soon with will cover amongst other things various V5 to V6 conversions.
For instance when you have a RS232 component, in V6 you need to add a RS232 initialise which was not necessary in V5.
So if its RS232 comms producing the error it could be that.
There are a few other bugs been reported about conversions so it may just solve your issues?
It's of course it's up to matrix if you wait for patch or not to see if issues are fixed.
I thought I will mention about the patch since I have seen the bug list, and various conversions are reported on it.
Plus a few more conversion bugs have been reported since bug list was last updated.
Martin

Thank you for your advice.
It's not the RS232 component, my problem is with the CAN (external with EB018).

My simple idea is that someone @ Matrix would try to import these files into V6 and find out where the errors come from, in this case they could these problems to their bug list, and their patch.
