18F4620 ethernet development kit

#include <18F4620>
#fuses H4, NOWDT, NOLVP
#use delay (clock=40000000)
#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7)

The above works fine for the first example

when I change my fuse from H4 to HS and my delay from 40000000 to 20000000 as a following example requests it stops working. In the example all I have to do is change them back and it starts working. Sort of see next question.

Another question is about the Embedded Ethernet Exercise book. I am on example ex7a.c I get the simple printf message but I do not get any network information. I have the dev. board hooked into my network. Do I need it plugged into a pc directly with a cross over cable? Do I need to do something to send it a packet or is the info internal to the development board? As you may have figured I am very new to this. If there is a location I should go to find this out for my self please point me in that direction.

Thank you
Mark

If you have a 10M crystal installed then changing to the HS and setting clock=20000000 is pointless. It will not work properly.

does anyone know the crystal that is on the embedded ethernet development board?

The CCS PICENS has a 10MHz but (unless it has changed) it has a PIC18F4520

There is a big note on the back of the Exercise book that said they changed and the chip on the board is an 18F4620. Should I be O.K. to leave the fuses and delay at H4 and 40000000? I don't mind recoding later but right now I would like to just work through the exercise book in order to get familiar with the chip.

Thanks for the update.

Yes you should leave the H4 fuse set and clock=40000000

I set up with a crossover cable and a laptop instead of a regular cable into my normal network and it is working fine. Thanks for the helpwith the fuses.

I have not ever worked with this large a pic chip before. I need to pull up the data sheet and review.

I have updated the Ethernet bootloader to support the PIC18F4620 on the CCS PICENS Ethernet development board
