18F67J50 question

[championx]

Hi! I'm developing a board with a 18F67j50, the board works ok, but only connected to the pickit2.

If i disconnect the pickit2 and then power the board, it doesn't start the program...

It could be some fuse config?

compiler 5.045

fuses and config:

How are your writing the program?.
Not possibly using MPLAB?.
If so, beware that this will default to enabling the DEBUG, unless you tell it to compile for 'release'.

Thanks for your answer, no, im writing it using pickit software, no debug function.

What is connected to the MCLR line?. The programmer will hold this high, with this disconnected, if it is floating, the chip won't start.

It has a 4k7 resistor to 3.3v and a diode.

3.3v ---/\/\/\/\---|>|---- MCLR PIN.

OK. It all looks good.
Are you sure the PICKIT is setup to overwrite the fuses?.

You behaviour has all the marks that the chip still thinks it is in debug mode. The question is 'why'.
Look at the end of the .LST file to see the actual fuse setup.
Then read these back from the chip.
Do they match?.

Thanks Ttelmah, but i discovered the problem, it was the voltage regulator...

It seems that the Pickit helped with the current and was able to start running.

Changed the regulator and Voila. Seems like it was defective...

Thanks !
