Confusion with 18F45K80 config, maybe someone has working one?

At 1.8 to 2.5 VREF, you may not have enough voltage for the LED. Try at 5 volts and see if it's switching properly.

I'm feeding it with 5 volts.
I tried to check voltages with multimeter, without the LED, all the same.
Tried each pin of each port...

Judging from your settings I'm going to assume you're trying to use the INTOSC.

If so, you need to set the CONFIG to use it. That's what controls what happens at powerup...
trying to setting the OSCCON register is a run-time setting, so it relies on the thing running in the first place.

The default INTOSC setting is 8MHz, so it'll run at that speed until you change it with OSCCON.


Try this:

  CONFIG  RETEN=ON, INTOSCSEL=HIGH, SOSCSEL=HIGH, XINST=OFF, FOSC=INTIO2, PLLCFG=OFF

'then later you can change it
OSCCON = $70     ' IRFC[2:0] = 111 (16MHz), SCS[1:0] = 00 (primary CONFIG osc setting)
' set PLLEN (optional, 4x16MHz=64MHz)
'OSCTUNE.6 = 1

Thanks!
I will try it today later.
I want to run it at 16mhz and then try 64mhz, to see if there's any practical difference in i2cread and shiftout statements, since on 16F, oscillator speed has no impact on these statement speed, which is around 50khz, whenever oscillator is 4mhz or 16mhz.

Still does not work. In this example, PORTD.0 measures 2.5 volt and does not change.
same to any other port.

Sorry, I didn't mean for you to get rid of the other CONFIG settings... just change the OSC ones.

Here's a complete example

#CONFIG
  CONFIG  RETEN=ON, INTOSCSEL=HIGH, SOSCSEL=HIGH, XINST=OFF, FOSC=INTIO2, PLLCFG=OFF
  CONFIG  FCMEN=OFF, IESO=OFF, PWRTEN=OFF, BOREN=SBORDIS, BORV=3, BORPWR=ZPBORMV

  CONFIG  CPD=OFF, WRT0=OFF, WRT1=OFF, WRT2=OFF, WRT3=OFF, WRTC=OFF, WRTB=OFF
  CONFIG  WRTD=OFF, EBTR0=OFF, EBTR1=OFF, EBTR2=OFF, EBTR3=OFF, EBTRB=OFF
#ENDCONFIG

If you're using a DVM and measuring 2.5V, that probably means the pin is toggling but it's too fast for the meter,
so the 'DEFINE OSC' doesn't match your actual settings and the 'PAUSE' is wrong.

Try increasing the pause time to 5000 or 10000

I want to run it at 16mhz and then try 64mhz, to see if there's any practical difference in i2cread and shiftout statements

You'll see a difference, but it likely won't be earth shattering.
To really effect the I2C speed you'd need to switch to using the MSSP hardware, and while that SHOUT routine I posted is faster than shiftout, it won't be as fast as using the SPI peripheral.

I will try to check it with scope next week, but my multimeter is Amprobe PM55A, it can do 5 samples per second and actually works even with pause 200

MSSP might be good, but I was not able to run any of code samples given here on 16F series and I was not able to start any 18F series chip at all
