Hi RobH,

If the default of the samples (and user programs) would be to enable LVP then 
the warning comment should then be to have a pull-up resistor on the PGM pin or 
am I interpreting the datasheet wrong?

Kind regards,

Rob

Hi RobJ,

I had an e-mail discussion with the other Rob since he also had programming 
issues using LVP. It seems that for some (older?) PICs that have LVP only work 
if you pull a special PGM pin high (so not floating) with a resistor.

I'm afraid I have to correct this: When LVP is enabled and the PIC has a 
Pin_PGM, this pin requires a pull_down resistor to prevent the PIC entering LVP 
mode accidentally.

In order to prevent issues I could check which PICs have this PGM pin and for 
those PICs create only blink samples with LVP disabled. Another option is to 
enable LVP and mention in the blink sample comment to pull the PGM pin high for 
those PICs.

The pull-down requirement applies to every program, not only samples also user 
programs.

The reason (at least one of 'm) to specify LVP ENABLE in Jallib (blink) samples 
was that it allows the use the Microchip SNAP programmer (or any other LVP 
programmer) besides any HVP programmer like PicKit3. So my vote would be for 
adding a warning comment.

Regards, Rob.
