write_configuration_memory [RESOLVED]
PostPosted: Wed Jun 30, 2010 1:39 pm     Reply with quote

Hey guys,

I'm on 4.109 and sent this into CCS as I don't think write_configuration_memory is working for the PIC18F46J11

Here's my code -- I'm simply trying to change the Fosc bits from HS to HS+PLL (H4_SW) in software.

The initial read shows me registers that match up with MPLAB's config bits window... so the code should write out the new values... and then on reset -- nothing has happened.

Am I forgetting/missing something?

Code:
#include <18F46J11.h>

#use delay(clock=10M, crystal=10M)
#fuses HS
#fuses NOWDT,NODEBUG,NOIESO,WDT32768,NODSWDT
#fuses NOFCMEN
#fuses LPT1OSC, NOT1DIG, RTCOSC_T1

#opt 10

#use rs232 (UART1, STREAM=COMM, BAUD=57600, PARITY=N, BITS=8, ERRORS)

#define CONFIG_LEN 8

// =============================================================================

void main() {
   unsigned int buffer[CONFIG_LEN];
   unsigned int i, x, reload=0;

   setup_wdt(WDT_OFF);
   delay_ms(250);

   read_configuration_memory(&buffer, CONFIG_LEN);

   fprintf(COMM, "\r\n\r\n");

   for (i=0; i<CONFIG_LEN; i++) {
      fprintf(COMM, "%04X (%02u): %02X", 0xFFF8+i, i, buffer[i]);

      if (i==0x2 && ((buffer[i] & 0x7) != 5) ) {
         fprintf(COMM, "!");
         reload = 1;
      }
      fprintf(COMM, "\r\n");
   }


   if (!reload) {
      fprintf(COMM, "The Config is correct. Nothing to be done.\r\n");
   } else {
      x = CONFIG_LEN;
      fprintf(COMM, "Fosc is the wrong value. Reprogramming\r\n");
      buffer[0x2] = 0x15;
      write_configuration_memory(buffer, x);
   }

   fprintf(COMM, "Hit any key to reset\r\n");
   // MAIN LOOP
   while (TRUE) {
      if (kbhit(COMM))
         reset_cpu();
   }
}

Did you consider setting the PLLEN bit in OSCTUNE rather than rewriting the configuration bits?

That's what my new code does...

But it appears that if the PLL bit isn't set in the CONFIG, toggling PLLEN doesn't do anything while the Fosc fuses are HS and not H4_SW.

So I'm trying to add to my code where it check to see if the Fosc bits are what it needs and changes the CONFIG appropriately.

CCS is looking into it too since the write_configuration_memory plainly doesn't seem to be working anyway.

I figured I'd ask here if anyone had the same problem.

If you use #fuses H4_SW instead of HS, does the PIC come up running at the 4x clock rate?

I do not have a 46J11, but I am currently using a 67J11 which also has the 4x PLL. If I set fuse H4_SW, the OSCTUNE PLLEN bit is cleared at the beginning of Main. I compiled your code for the 46j11, and the list file does not show any write to OSCTUNE (0xf9b) which makes me wonder if the PLL is, in fact, enabled simply by #fuses H4_SW. Is a separate write to PLLEN required to enable the PLL?

If you want to be sure that the PLL is disabled at the beginning of Main, would something like this work:
Code:

#fuses H4_SW
#define PLL_OFF #asm BCF 0xF9B.6 #endasm
#define PLL_ON #asm BSF 0xF9B.6 #endasm

void main() {
   unsigned int (etc..)

// slow the clock to 1x
//
   PLL_OFF;  // clear PLLEN

  (startup code running 1x clock)

// enable 4x PL
//
   PLL_ON;  // set PLLEN
 
  (code now running at 4x clock)
}

In the cases where I usually use the #use delay with the separate crystal/clock statements, that's usually taken care of.

In this case, I'm not so far as the switching PLLEN ON/OFF.

I can't get write_configuration_memory to actually change the config Fosc bits from 4 (b100) to 5 (b101) like the function is supposed to.

It turns out that this function doesn't work on the 18FxxJ11 series because the config is held in the top bytes of program memory while write_configuration_memory attempts to write to 0x300000 -- which doesn't work.

So the function will be disabled in future versions until it's fixed.

The way it must be done (that I started originally) is to read the block, modify the bits and then write them back.
