| write_virtual_eeprom() function does not work on PIC16F1779 |
 Posted: Mon Dec 17, 2018 11:11 am |

Target: PIC16F1779
CCS: v5.081
Few months ago, I posted a new topic asking for help using the virtual_eeprom.c driver with program flash memory.
Referencing this topic:
http://www.ccsinfo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=57436&highlight=virtualeeprom
I followed all advice on the above topic thread. I can initialize the PFM contents and read them back successfully using calls to read_virtual_eeprom(addr) , however, I cannot write back to the PFM. Calls using write_virtual_eeprom(addr, data) seem to achieve nothing in terms of modifying the contents of program memory at the specified address.
I have used the NOPROTECT fuse in order to allow writes to program memory.
Test code below:
| Code: |
#include <16F1779.h>
#device PIC16F1779
#device ADC=10
#use delay(INTERNAL=16MHZ, CLOCK=8MHZ)
#fuses INTRC_IO
#fuses NOWDT
#fuses NOPROTECT
#fuses NOBROWNOUT
#fuses NOPUT
#rom int16 0x3FC0 = {0, 0x12, 1, 0x34}
#define VIRTUAL_EEPROM_8BIT_ADDY
#define VIRTUAL_EEPROM_NUM_PAGES 2
#include "virtual_eeprom.c"
#define pullupsPortA 0b00100100 // pushbuttons on A2, A5
#define initTrisA 0b00100100
#define TEST_LED PIN_B1
#define TEST_LED2 PIN_B2
int1 writeSuccess;
void flashLED(void)
{
for(int i =0; i<7; i++)
{
output_toggle(TEST_LED);
delay_ms(100);
}
}
void main(void)
{
init_virtual_eeprom();
writeSuccess = 0; // write_eeprom() returns '1' if successful
port_a_pullups(pullupsPortA);
delay_ms(1);
set_tris_a(initTrisA);
while(1)
{
if(!input(PIN_A2))
{
delay_ms(50); // quick n' dirty debounce
if(!input(PIN_A2))
{
flashLED(); // we got into if{} block
writeSuccess = write_virtual_eeprom(0, 0xAB);
writeSuccess = write_virtual_eeprom(1, 0xCD);
if(writeSuccess) output_high(TEST_LED2);
}
}
}//while(1)
}//main())
|
In debug mode, I stop execution prior to a button press and see the values in PFM as I have intialized them. Pushing the button results in the expected flash indication; also, writeSuccess flip to a 1. However, the values at 0x3FC1, 0x3FC3 never change despite code getting into the if {} block containing the calls to write_virtual_eeprom.
What seems to happen instead is that the NEXT contiguous areas of PFM are written to, rather than starting at the virtual addresses 0 and 1:
NOTES: (a) In another version of test code, I am actually piping out the byte values over UART and decoding with a scope. Results are the same. (b) I am using the modified version of virtual_eeprom.c, with edits done by Ttelmah, in order to place these values in specific region of high-endurance flash, of which this PIC has 128 bytes. The exact edits are specified in the link above.
What am I missing in my code above in order to get successful writes to PFM? Is there any reason that in this particular PIC, write_virtual_eeprom is not writing to the correct addresses? |

Are you sure your posted code compiles ? I tried to compile it with
vs. 5.081 and I got:

He's doing the ROM reservation removal, I outlined in the thread he
points to at the top. Without this you can't use #rom to initialise the
memory, without the complaints you have.
Worryingly, this looks like it may be a problem with the
write_program_memory function. Ignore the virtual eeprom code
I've just tried an experiment with this chip, and the write doesn't
seem to be working. If so, the second chip in a couple of days with
a problem here.... 
Have just disassembled the code, and both this and the 12F1571
(which was the chip having the problem here), are using exactly
the same 'write' routine (except on this chip the page size is twice
as large), and both have the same fault, with the bit to switch from
erasing, to actually writing, not being cleared. So the write function
doesn't actually work... :( |

This is an attempt to write a replacement write routine.
I've done a couple of basic tests, and it appears to work, but
'no guarantees'...
Since the original poster has already edited the virtual_eeprom file,
simply add this to your code, and change all references to
write_program_memory, to be to my_write_program_memory, and see
if it then starts working.... |

Thank you all for commenting back and verifying my observations. Indeed, the result is not optimal nor intuitive for the functionality described in the virtual_eeprom.c driver, modified or otherwise.
I contacted CCS support on this issue. CCS response:
| Quote: | | What you're seeing is exactly how the virtual eeprom driver is suppose to work, when you write new data to it is writes in the next free location. When you call the read_virtual_eeprom() function it starts at the end of the virtual eeprom page it's in and works it's way back until it finds the address you're trying to read, so the last value written for that address will always be what's found. It's done this way to avoid excessive erases of program memory and works well on devices where the write and erase page sizes don't match. For your device however the write and erase page sizes do match, and because of how the write_program_memory() function works on devices were the write and erase page match you don't really gain anything from using the virtual eeprom driver. If it was me for your device I wouldn't use the virtual eeprom driver and just use the write_program_eeprom() and read_program_eeprom() function to write and read the program memory address that you want to use like an eeprom. |
OK, I get it. But to me, the write function behavior is still unexpected because the ( vAddr, data ) pair in program memory already exists so the fact that the driver creates a new entry under the same virtual address at the next contiguous program memory is both confusing and nonsensical.
My next steps will be to try the code Ttelmah has posted below and test it. Failing that, I'll look into write_program_eeprom() as CCS support suggests.
Again my kindest thanks to helping me out. |

It can't do it any other way.
Key point to understand, is that you can only erase an entire page.
Now visualise you have written a 'pair'. Perhaps a value of '1' say. You
cannot change this to any value other than '0', without erasing.
If you erase, you have to erase the whole page, and this also takes a very
long time.
Now what the driver does is 'flag' this value as 'finished' by setting the
address to the '0' value, and then writing a new pair with the address.
It 'walks' up the page doing this, until it has no space left in the page,
and at this point copies all 'in use' pairs to the second page, and erases
the first page. It then proceeds using the second page, until it is full.
When this happens it copies the 'in use' values back to this.
Doing it this way, it only has to erase, when the page is full. Hence a
massive saving in erase cycles, and in speed (since a write without erase
is dozens of times faster than the erase).
However on test, I was not seeing the EEPROM actually being written
when the update was done.
I have just tested with 'my_write_program_memory' replacing the CCS
function, and with this you do see values being written to the memory. |

Were there any other changes you made in order for the newly-described function "my_write_program_memory()" to work?
I made the changes you described, but I still receive the same output after calling write_virtual_eeprom():
Code is now in 3 separate files.

writeSuccess = 0; // write_eeprom() returns '1' if successful
port_a_pullups(pullupsPortA);

if(writeSuccess) output_high(TEST_LED2);
}
}
}//while(1)

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//// Virtual EEPROM Driver ////
//// ////
//// This driver uses two flash erase pages in program memory as virtual ////
//// eeprom memory. This driver uses write-balancing to avoid excessive ////
//// erasing of program memory. This driver is optimized to use lower ////
//// eeprom addresses first; however, it is not a requirement to use the ////
//// available addresses in any particular order. The functions ////
//// which drive operation of the driver are detailed below: ////
//// ////
//// init_virtual_eeprom() Initializes pointer and global variable ////
//// for use with write and read. Does NOT ////
//// clear previous virtual eeprom memory. ////
//// Must be called at beginning of program ////
//// before write and read are used. ////
//// ////
//// data = read_virtual_eeprom(addy) Reads one byte from virtual ////
//// eeprom address "addy". Default ////
//// return is 0xFF if no data is ////
//// found for given address. ////
//// ////
//// ok = write_virtual_eeprom(addy,data) Writes "data" byte to virtual ////
//// eeprom address "addy". Returns ////
//// true if write is successful, ////
//// returns false if memory is ////
//// full or an invalid address is ////
//// used. ////
//// This process can take a lot ////
//// of time, especially if large ////
//// pages are being used. ////
//// ////
//// clear_virtual_eeprom() Clears and reinitializes all virtual ////
//// eeprom. ////
//// ////
//// num = virtual_eeprom_max_entries() This function is provided for ////
//// debugging. It returns the total number ////
//// number of entries that can be saved to ////
//// the flash memory. To increase this ////
//// value, then increase ////
//// VIRTUAL_EEPROM_NUM_PAGES. ////
//// ////
//// VIRTUAL_EEPROM_NUM_PAGES can be defined, when defines the total ////
//// number of the PIC's flash erase pages used for the virtual EEPROM. ////
//// The actual value used is 2x this value (two pages are used for ////
//// writing balancing algorithm). The total number of entries that ////
//// can be saved to the EE depends on this setting. ////
//// ////
//// If VIRTUAL_EEPROM_16BIT_ADDY is defined then you can use 16bit ////
//// addresses for the EEPROM (if not defined 8bit addresses are used). ////
//// This option is always used on PCD, PCM and PCB chips since these ////
//// architecture have a multi-byte instruction word (however PCM will ////
//// limit an address to 14bits and PCB will limit an address to 12bits). ////
//// Using this option reduces the total number of variables that can ////
//// be stored because now more space is being used to store addresses. ////
//// VIRTUAL_EEPROM_8BIT_ADDY can be used to force 8bit address on ////
//// PCB, PCH and PCD chips. ////
//// ////
//// EXAMPLE USAGE ////
//// -------------------------------------------------------------------- ////
//// The compiler's ex_extee.c example can be quickly modified to work ////
//// as a demo of this driver. The ex_extee.c example shows how to use ////
//// an external EEPROM, but can be adapted to use this library as a ////
//// virtual EEPROM. ////
//// ////
//// To accomplish this, first find this line: ////
//// #include "2416.c" ////
//// ////
//// Then replace it with these lines: ////
//// #include "virtual_eeprom.c" ////
//// #define init_ext_eeprom() init_virtual_eeprom() ////
//// #define read_ext_eeprom(a) read_virtual_eeprom(a) ////
//// #define write_ext_eeprom(a, v) write_virtual_eeprom(a, v) ////
//// #define EEPROM_ADDRESS unsigned int8 ////

//// HISTORY ////
//// ////
//// March 10th, 2017 - ////
//// Speed optimizations. ////
//// Added workaround for PIC24FJxxxGx6xx families, which require writing ////
//// 8 bytes at once else a double write trap is generated. ////
//// Added virtual_eeprom_max_entries() function. ////
//// Added VIRTUAL_EEPROM_NUM_PAGES. Changed older ////

//// Added VIRTUAL_EEPROM_16BIT_ADDY. ////
//// The PAGE0_START, PAGE0_END, PAGE1_START and ////
//// PAGE1_END were not being calculated correctly for PCD ////

//// April 26th, 2016 - ////
//// Fixed issue causing driver not to compile with PCD compiler. ////

I checked the SFR / bit mappings in my IDE, and they are correct ( I am using MPLAB, I think you use the CCS IDE ) because I've had issues in the past with wrong defines in the SFR's for MPLAB, but it did not help matters. |

If you look, at 0x3Fc8, that has written the two new values as it should.
On your original code, it had not written the new values. |
