Failed to set firmware property.

[fjalex]

I have a project for PIC16F1937 based in PICDEM2 EVALUATION BOARD EXAMPLES.
I am using XC-8 compiler version XC8 v2.30.
When I build the project, I can see this message at the end of the proccess: Failed to set firmware property.
The project compiled ok and the simulation work properly.
What does that message mean and how can I correct the project so that it does not exit?

Sorry, previous hardcopy image showed cut.

Attached the correct one:

Javier, you need to attach the full project in order we can see where and why the problem arose. If you don't want or cannot post it in the forum then please send it to support@labcenter.com or PM it to me. Thanks!

Dear Ettore:

The project is too big for attach in this forum.

I sent you by email.

Thanks for you reply

Javier,

Thanks. I've got your project but unfortunately the source code is not built in the pdsprj file, so I cannot compile as it says 'code file name not found'. I see code name files in the Projects tree but cannot open them. If you can zip them and PM me I would try to reproduce the issue.

However - albeit I'm not 100% sure - the reason as to why you see that message is because you have your PIC16 as a hierarchy module. You might possibly try to place your PIC directly at child or parent sheet, but not into a hierarchy module.

[Ettore]

I confirm that your problem is because of your PIC arrangment into the hierarchy module. I strongly recommend to use subcircuit arrangment rather than hierarchy. Following is a sceeen shot that shows you how to do that. You don't need to pass variables between parent module and child processor.
Same arrangment should be adopted for PICSKT28 and PICSKT18 blocks.
For your convenience, I sent an email with your schematic modified to comply with such the method.
