    Default Customizing the DT_INTS-XX.bas Instant Interrupt

    Since Daryl Taylor created his Instant Interrupt Routine, Microchip has added many new features and changed PIR locations for their new MCUs. We recently visited the K40 application on the Forum, and I just revamped a special copy of the DT_INTS-18 for the 18F24_7K42 processors. I wanted to share the process so others could customize a version for whatever processor needed for their next project.

    On page 167 of the 18F27K42 Data Sheet is a Registery Summary for the Interrupt Registers (Table 9-3). Every Data Sheet has such a list. It lists INTCON as well as all of the PIR/PIE Registers. For the K42, there are 10 PIE/PIR Registers (PIR0, PIR1...PIR10). After each register is the Flag name for each Bit. For example, for PIR0 you have IOCIF, CRCIF, SCANIF, NVMIF, CSWIF, OSFIF, HLVDIF, SWIF. Some of these names are familiar, like IOCIF for the Interrupt on Port Change. CRCIF is a relatively new Function called Cyclic Redundancy Check. NVMIF is a new name for an old Interrupt. Old = EEIF for the EEPROM Write Complete Function. Now it's called Non-Volatile Memory Write Complete, or NVMIF. You don't need to know what each of the xxIF's do to create a custom DT_INTS, you just need the Interrupt Registery Summary. For the more familiar PIC18F2x_4xK22, the Interrupt Registery Summary is Table 9-1 on Page 133.

    Next, open a copy of the applicable DT_INTS-18.bas in your Microcode Studio (PBP). Assuming you have opened the last original Daryl Taylor version (not one that has already been customized by one of us Forum members), starting on Line 59 the Interrupts are Defined. On Line 59 we see:

    #define INT_INT INTCON, INTIF ;-- INT External, 16F compatible

    Every Line of the Defines begin with #define. Next is the Interrupt, INT_INT in the above example. This denotes Hardware Interrupt on PORTB.0 INT pin. For the older processors, the INTIF is in the INTCON Register. It is called INTIF in the Interrupt Registery Summary. After that are comments suggesting what that Interrupt does.

    If we leave Line 59 alone and erase from Line 60 to Line 183, we've cleared out all of the #defines for stuff we don't need, and could create conflicts. We'll leave one lone example, which we can copy/paste and modify. Taking the PIR0 listed above, we would make our own #defines like this:

    #define IOC_INT PIR0, IOCIF ;-- Interrupt on Change
    #define CRC_INT PIR0, CRCIF ;-- Cyclic Redundancy Check
    #define SCAN_INT PIR0, SCANIF ;-- For the Scan Function
    #define NMV_INT PIR0, NMVIF ;-- Non-Volatile Memory (EEPROM Write)
    #define CSW_INT PIR0, CSWIF ;-- Clock Switch
    #define OSF_INT PIR0, OSFIF ;-- Oscillator Fail
    #define HVLD_INT PIR0, HVLDIF ;-- High/Low Voltage Detect
    #define SW_INT PIR0, SWIF ;-- ?

    Now we can continue with PIR1:

    #define SMT1PWA_INT PIR1, SMT1PWAIF ;-- .....

    And so forth. Save as something unique (like DT_INTS-18_K42.bas) and you're done. The 'Save As' will prevent this custom version from accidentally getting used for the wrong processor.

    Part 2

    Next, Starting on Line 218 (of the original) are the same familiar Flags. *The same process is used here, where the appropriate name & Registers*are used for the MCU you are using. *For example, Lines 218 - 220 reads:

    ifdef INT0IF *;----{ INT0 External Interrupt }----------[INTCON, INT0IF]---
    * * * INT_Source *INTCON,INT0IF, INTCON,INT0IE, -1, -1
    * endif

    We would modify it to read:

    ifdef INT0IF *;----{ INT0 External Interrupt }----------[PIR1, INT0IF]---
    * * * INT_Source *PIR1,INT0IF, PIE1,INT0IE, IPR1,INT0IP
    * endif

    Another quick example, original:

    * ifdef TMR1IF *;----{ TMR1 Overflow Interrupt }------------[PIR1, TMR1IF]---
    * * * INT_Source *PIR1,TMR1IF, PIE1,TMR1IE, IPR1,TMR1IP
    * endif

    Modified for the K42:

    * ifdef TMR1IF *;----{ TMR1 Overflow Interrupt }------------[PIR4, TMR1IF]---
    * * * INT_Source *PIR4,TMR1IF, PIE4,TMR1IE, IPR4,TMR1IP
    * endif

    Hope this helps.

    mpgmike,
    Thank you for explaining this. I just spent too many days trying to figure out why I wasn't getting an upgraded circuit to work. 16F18326 from 12F683. Was driving me nuts.
    Now let's see if I can do this without messing it up.

    Dave,
    Thanks for sharing that. It behaves differently than the one i did, so I'll have to compare and learn what I missed. Still hasn't corrected my INT on Change (IOC_INT) issue, so I still have something wrong. It's always something....

    Bo, I have NO issue using it with IOC or INT. I would make sure ALL registers are set for using IOC. I have attached the page that tells of all the resisters affected.

    Dave,
    Thank you for the help. I have been trying to look through the registers, but obviously missing something.

    Here is the stripped down core of the program. I was under the impression that DT_INTS took care of some of these registers, but manually included them in case I'm missing something.

    The TMR code is working fine, I just can't the IOC to work.


    Code:

    Are you resetting the PIR0.IOCIF or IOCCF.5? This would be in the DT_INTs. It's possible you're trying to clear the wrong flag. PIR0.IOCIF is read only and is Hardware cleared when IOCCF.5 = 0.

    I din't see where you are clearing the individual IOCCF flag bits before or after the interrupt?

    Dave,
    It was my belief that the "yes" in
    Code:
    INT_Handler   IOC_INT,   _Capture,  PBP,  yes
    did that.
    I haven't dissected DT_INTS enough to verify that, and it may be an artifact of not originally being part of Darrel's program.
    I can look at that. Seems reasonable with the results I'm seeing.

    Well, looking at the DT_INTS-16 that Dave was so nice to share, I couldn't see the issue, so I just added a line to clear the flag and it seems to be reacting much better. If I get the time, I may look deeper into DT_INTS and see if I can understand how it works better than the 20% I can make sense of. Until then, this seems to solve my problem.
    Code:
    '---[IOC - interrupt handler]------------------------------------------
    Capture:  ' Enter here with Tach Pulse from ECM (IOC)
        toggle VSS_led 
        toggle N_LED
        pulsout tachdrv, 50         ' normal 4 cy tach, 500uS 
        IOCCF = 0 
    @ INT_RETURN
    Now to incorporate it back into the real program and see if I have the issue solved...

    Thank you guys for all the help. Would not likely have seen that with out it.

    Yeah, me too.
    Made the jump to the different processor and ordered boards for an ongoing project thinking it would be no problem. They were already a bit late, and I didn't have boards left for the older version, and they needed to go out.
    Thank you guys for the help.
