PIC18 and USB

I am having trouble with the pic18 simulator demo program. I copied the program exactly as it appears on the website (reposted below), but when I try to compile it I get the error "Support for USB implementation not enabled". I don't understand this error. The simulator is set to use 18F4550 with 20MHz clock. If I read the config words right, it looks to me like the USB hardware is enabled. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get this to work? I have struggled with USB ever since I started with microcontrollers more than a decade ago and have never managed to get one to work. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Have you purchased the USB licence? If you have you need to download the special version of "pic18simulatoride"

It has a different build... You will also need the password to download it..

I did not know there was a different license for USB. I just went to the Oshonsoft website and saw this, but when I go to the registered users download area there is not a different version for USB. I presume the difference would be in the registry key? Oh well, I don't have the funds for that right now. I'll just have to wait. Thank you for pointing that out.

The downloads for "registered users" are in a separate location... When you buy a licence Vladimir gives you the location and the password so you can download it!!

I have the licenses for pic and pic18, but they are personal licenses only. I noticed on the license page that the costs are significantly higher for the licenses that include basic support for USB. I presume the difference is not in the pic18 software but in the installed license key. That is, I assume the license key for the USB support will 'unlock' the basic compiler for USB support.

No! its a completely different IDE... there is a USB only download page..

Hi Mity,

those config fuses are a pain aren't they. Here's an extract of just the relevant USB stuff from a working prog (not Oshonsoft). You need to end up with 48Mhz to run high speed.

I find its easier to experiment with config settings if you declare them by function (if the language allows) rather than arbitary hex bytes.

Device = 18F4550
Xtal = 48

Config_Start
PLLDIV = 5 ;Divide by 5 (20 MHz oscillator input)
CPUDIV = OSC1_PLL2 ;[Primary Oscillator Src: /1][96 MHz PLL Src: /2]
USBDIV = 2 ;USB clock source comes from the 96 MHz PLL divided by 2
FOSC = HSPLL_HS ;HS oscillator, PLL enabled (HSPLL)
VREGEN = On ;USB voltage regulator enabled
Config_End

I'm sure there's guys on this board who know a lot more about it than I do, but I don't think Oshonsoft USB support is going to help you that much. As I understand it, unlike other simulators (eg. Proteus) simulate the process with PC app and USB device running simultaneously.

Thank you for the replies, but it seems I don't have the license for the USB support. I'll contemplate the purchase, but since I don't really have a NEED for it (I was just tinkering around to see if I could get it to work), I'm not sure the purchase would be useful. I can always use USART/SPI/I2C for communications if I need it. Thaks again.
