Unknown device type - CCS compiler

[i2c2k]

hi!

i used the ccs-compiler for PIC18F458 the first time with "#include <18F458.h>" to include the device. But when i tried to compile it, the error "unknown device type" ocurred on the line "#device PIC18F458" in the "18F458.h".
With other devices (e.g. the PIC16F876) there is no problem.
The "PIC18F458" is included in my device list. how can i fix the problem?

thank you!

CCS uses different compilers for PIC16 and PIC18 devices. Probably the compiler you own is only valid for PIC16.

well... this might be a possibility. but i found the files "pcb.dll", "pch.dll" and "pcm.dll" in the "dll"-directory. and "pch.dll" is used for the PIC18-devices as i found out in the help file.
but something i didn't find in the help file was, how i can select the .dll to choose, when the compiler can't choose is itself. but i think i'd have to look for the solution somewhere else...
don't have some other ideas...?

i found the soulution: select 18bit instructions in the ocmbobox *g*
