3. PIC Firmware Updates
The QM1004-8-12-100 Control Board uses a Microchip Technology, Inc. PIC18F67J50 processor. The
PIC Firmware update process is performed using a Custom Computer Services, Inc. (CCS) ICD-U64
Debugger/Programmer, but can be done using any In-Circuit Serial Programmer (ICSP) with an RJ-12
connection that supports the Microchip PIC18F67J50 device. The ICD-U64 from CCS includes the CC-
SLOAD free programmer control software, which is used to load the update.
