18F4580 settings

[malc-c]

I have some code which runs fine on a 16F877A but now want to migrate this to an 18F4580.

I've taken the config settings from some code I have for an 18F4550



ASM ; 18F2550/4550, 20mhz crystal
__CONFIG _CONFIG1L, _PLLDIV_5_1L & _CPUDIV_OSC1_PLL2_1L & _USBDIV_2_1L
__CONFIG _CONFIG1H, _FOSC_HSPLL_HS_1H
__CONFIG _CONFIG2L, _PWRT_ON_2L & _BOR_OFF_2L & _VREGEN_ON_2L
__CONFIG _CONFIG2H, _WDT_ON_2H & _WDTPS_512_2H
__CONFIG _CONFIG3H, _PBADEN_OFF_3H
__CONFIG _CONFIG4L, _LVP_OFF_4L & _XINST_OFF_4L
ENDASM


and then remmed out the comments in the 18F4580.INC file that's in the PBP folder

Yet I can't get it to compile via MPSAM.

It comes up with "symbol not previously defined _config1l" etc which you normally get when these lines are not remmed out.

Can anyone suggest the correct config settings

[malc-c]

OK remming out the offending lines in MCS

'DEFINE OSC 20
DEFINE OSC 48



works, however loading the code into the pic results in nothing being displayed on the LCD (must be a timing issue)... I'll try some further examples of code that Darrel and I had working on an 18F4550 and see if I can get that working

[Bruce]

Config options and definitions vary from one device type to the next, so you can't always get away with cut & paste config options.

Just look in the P18F4580.INC file in your MPASM directory for a complete list of options available for each device type.

[malc-c]

Bruce, to be honest I don't have the understanding of these devices to really appreciate the info in that INC file...

Here's my logic... for what its worth.

The attached code works with a DS1307 module when using a 16F877A with just two small changes, namely the config settings are set to


@ __config _HS_OSC & _WDT_ON & _LVP_OFF & _CP_OFF


And the OSC value set to 20

I swapped the PIC for an 18F4580, changed the OSC value to 48 and the config settings to



ASM
; __CONFIG CONFIG1L, _PLLDIV_5_1L & _CPUDIV_OSC1_PLL2_1L
; __CONFIG _CONFIG1H, _FOSC_HSPLL_HS_1H
__CONFIG _CONFIG2L, _PWRT_ON_2L
__CONFIG _CONFIG2H, _WDT_ON_2H & _WDTPS_512_2H
__CONFIG _CONFIG3H, _PBADEN_OFF_3H
__CONFIG _CONFIG4L, _LVP_OFF_4L & _XINST_OFF_4L
ENDASM


It compiles with no errors, loads into the PIC, but the LCD is blank. Both chips used RC3 and RC4 for the Ic2 (SCL and SDA) and I've tried changing OSC to 20 instead of 48 but it still fails to display anything (even garbage) on the LCD.

Why is life so difficult.... !

[malc-c]

Well the PIC's working with those settings - I went back to basics and wrote the following simple basic "hello world" type code.




ASM ; 18F2550/4550, 20mhz crystal
; __CONFIG CONFIG1L, _PLLDIV_5_1L & _CPUDIV_OSC1_PLL2_1L
; __CONFIG _CONFIG1H, _FOSC_HSPLL_HS_1H
__CONFIG _CONFIG2L, _PWRT_ON_2L
__CONFIG _CONFIG2H, _WDT_ON_2H & _WDTPS_512_2H
__CONFIG _CONFIG3H, _PBADEN_OFF_3H
__CONFIG _CONFIG4L, _LVP_OFF_4L & _XINST_OFF_4L
ENDASM

for counter = 1 to 10
LCDOut $FE,2,"Number = ",dec counter
pause 10
next


This displays "Number = " and counts from 1 to 10 on the LCD

I've looked at the datasheet, but can't see anything obvious other than making the correct pins on Port C input or outputs (something I would of thought would of ported over from the code)

Any suggestions

So now just have to work out why the original code that worked with the 16F877A didn't / doesn't port across ?

[Bruce]

Hi Malcolm,

Read this thread. http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=543

If you're still stuck let me know.

[malc-c]

Bruce,

Thanks for the reply. I've managed to port Mel's RTC code from the 16F877A to the 18F4580, however I have one config setting that I can't work out

If I set the config bits in the programmer thus

http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=4135&d=1269692871

The code runs. However if I let the code set the config bits it fails to run correctly. It seems I need to set the Oscillator to HS-PPL in order for it to run at the correct speed. Could you advise me what I need to add to the code to set this correctly ?

Edit:

Forgot to mention I've tried


__CONFIG _CONFIG1H, _FOSC_HSPLL_HS_1H


and get the "symbol not previously defined" error, even though I've edited the PBP INC file.

[malc-c]

Uhmmm steep learning curve :)

I delved deep into that INC file in MPSAM folder and tried the following



ASM
__CONFIG _CONFIG1H, _OSC_HSPLL_1H
__CONFIG _CONFIG2L, _PWRT_ON_2L
__CONFIG _CONFIG2H, _WDT_ON_2H & _WDTPS_512_2H
__CONFIG _CONFIG3H, _PBADEN_OFF_3H
__CONFIG _CONFIG4L, _LVP_OFF_4L & _XINST_OFF_4L
ENDASM


Works fine now !

[Acetronics2]

Hi, Malc

You should update your PicFlash soft ...

v 7.13 to the day ... works much better than previous versions !!!

Alain

[Bruce]

I delved deep into that INC file in MPSAM folder and tried the following

There you go. Every config option you can use in your code is defined in the PIC types
P18Fxxxx.INC file.

They're just constants, assigned values, that turn ON or OFF each config option. Just like
you have constants with PBP.

[malc-c]

Alain, thanks for the tip.. I'm always a bit apprehensive when it comes to flashing things like BIOS and that's why I'm still on the version that came with the board - but I'll look at updating as suggested

Bruce,
I'm trying to port the 4 channel PID thermostat that DT and I were working on and having stripped out most of the USB code and resolved most of the warnings and errors I'm left with one that I can't resolve.

Its the 113 symbol not defined (INT_ENTRY_H) but its shown as in C:\pbp2.60\pbppic.18lib:1205

Anyone hot any ideas... I've looked through the INC files and can't see any ref to INT_ENTRY_H in them

[Acetronics2]

Hi, Malc

Always have a look to the end of the MPASM .inc files ...

Malc,

It's an error generated from DTinterupts ...

Didn't you declare a low priority interrupt and NO high priority interrupt ???


For PicFlash ... no soucy ... I always test things before emitting an advice ... ROFL !

Hi,

Yes I've discovered it's related to DTinterupts as it compiles when I comment out the include file

I've updated the PicFlash - thought it somehow flashed the firmware on the board - didn't realise it was just an updated exe !

I'm still getting to grips with all this config stuff... I'll look at the declarations again and see if it works

Thanks for your help

[malc-c]

sorted - Looks like I commented out too much of the code !!! ;)
