Hello,

I'm new with bootloader and I have problems.
I have modified the asm file for 16F876A, 16 Mhz and 9600 Bauds. Here
copy of the declaration in MPLAB.

list p=16f876a
#define ICD_DEBUG 0
#define FOSC D'16000000'
#define BAUD D'9600'
#define BAUD_ERROR D'4'
#define TIME
#define TRIGGER PORTB,7
#define TIMEOUT D'2'
#define WATCHDOGTIMER 0

I have copied the .hex file in the Pic.
When I start "Pic downloader 1.08" or "Picbootloader+" I have the
message "Searching for Bootloader" for a long time (a wait more than 1
minute) and nothing more. If I reset the Pic, the program says "time
out" and abort.
I have try with differents baudrate and the two last version (9-40 and
9-30).
With version 9-30 the MPLAB compiler give my a lot of error :

My application,loading without bootloader and using serial
communication, works with the terminal of "Picbootloader +".

Could you help to find my errors.

Thanks and regard.
