This should be an easy one, but I can't seem to figure it out. Perhaps it's an easy question, and the answer is no. Anyways, is it possible to get MPLAB to flash a PIC with a pre-compiled HEX file using the ICD programmer?
I bought the ICD2 a while back and it's really a great tool. It integrates seamlessly with MPLAB and I really like it more than my other programmers. However, I can only flash a hex file that has been compiled from an MPLAB project.
That's fine, but sometimes I'll download a hex from somewhere online and I don't need or want to compile the source. I just want to flash the existing HEX - this is what I can't figure out how to do in MPLAB, and I'm starting to suspect it may not be possible. Any thoughts?
