How to read write EEPROM on 12C671?

[Acetronics2]

Hi,

You can find on firsts pages of the manual, $ MCU Specific issues : " ... those chips have I2C interfaced EEPROMS so, you have to use I2CRead and I2CWrite ... "

you'll find further infos either in the Pic Datasheet and in respective commands pages of PBP Manual.

PS: Will you show some code ???

I did tried to do as per the manual, but seems to be missing something:
This is what I did:

DEFINE I2C_INTERNAL 1
EEPROM 0,[0,0,0,0] 
read 0,gpio.0
read 1,gpio.1
read 2,gpio.4
read 4,gpio.5

Also tried the above 4 statements using 12CREAD but :(

Can you please add one example to read and one to write?
I went through the manual but it does not have an example on how to write statements for INTERNAL EEPROM.

Straight from the SAMPLES folder of your compiler ...

' I2CREAD and I2WRITE Commands
'
' Write to the first 16 locations of internal I2C EEPROM
' Read first 16 locations back and send to serial out repeatedly
' Note: for PIC12CE67x MCU's

        Include "modedefs.bas"          ' Include serial modes

Define  I2C_INTERNAL  1

ADCON1 = 7				' Set ADC pins to digital operation

SO      con     1                       ' Define serial output pin
DPIN    var     GPIO.6                 	' Data line to internal EEPROM
CPIN    var     GPIO.7                 	' Clock line to internal EEPROM
B0      var     byte
B1      var     byte
B2      var     byte

        For B0 = 0 To 15                ' Loop 16 times
                I2CWRITE DPIN,CPIN,$A0,B0,[B0]  ' Write each location's address to itself
                Pause 10                ' Delay 10ms after each write
        Next B0

mainloop: For B0 = 0 To 15 step 2       ' Loop 8 times
                I2CREAD DPIN,CPIN,$A0,B0,[B1,B2]        ' Read 2 locations in a row
                Serout SO,N2400,[#B1," ",#B2," "]       ' Print 2 locations
        Next B0

        Serout SO,N2400,[10]            ' Print linefeed

        Goto mainloop

Perfect, thank you so much. Hopefully it should solve my problem.

Will this read write operation be affected by DT-Interrupts in any way as they are also running in my code?

Thanks again

[Acetronics2]

my point of view is to disable interrupts before writing to EEPROM and re-enable after.

For DT Ints ... I do not remember exactly if there's a trick to do that automatically ... I think yes ( something like "DEFINE EEPROM_USED 1" ... may be ), but you'd much better verify on the relevant thread.

From the PBP 2.60 manual:



DEFINE WRITE_INT 1 ‘Disable/Enable INTs in WRITE



If you put this in your DEFINE block, it will turn off your INTs before the WRITE and enable them after the WRITE.

Note that if you include this DEFINE, it will always ENABLE ints when the write is finished, whether or not they were enabled when the WRITE was invoked.
