MCHP C30 downloads gone...

[Trevor]

I'm not sure when it happened, but Microchip have removed all the "lite" and "eval" C30 compiler versions from their legacy compiler downloads. The only remaining legacy downloads require a licence serial number. All those open/free source projects can no longer be compiled without access to the relevant compilers (some projects also depended on the specific version).

Anyway, if anyone needs one of these, I find I have v3.20b, v3.21, v3.22, v3.23, v3.23b, v3.24, v3.25, v3.30, v3.30b, v3.30c, v3.31.

That's why you never rely on someone else to archive critical tools for you...

Did you try the archives?

Yes I tried the archives... the last couple of versions allow you to choose the licence type, but the earlier versions insist on a licence serial number to install. I didn't realise that the more recent versions were still ok earlier as I'd only tried earlier versions after I noticed the "Lite" and "Eval" download versions had gone.

If, as your 'PIC Experience' field in your profile says, you have 2-5 years experience as a professional wth MCHP products, then you will know that the C30 compiler has not ben around for a long time - this thread is 4 years old.
Therefore you will need to update the program to use XC16 (or some other compiler) and while that is not always trivial, for someone with your experience in Microchip products, it should be fairly straight forward.
