| Problem with UART RXD isr on 18F47K42 [SOLVED] |
 Posted: Fri Feb 04, 2022 12:07 pm |

Hello everyone,
I'm using CCS PCH C Compiler, Version 5.080, with a PIC18F47K42, and I can't figure out how to make the UART1 RX interrupt to work.
The pic is connected to a GSM module, though a serial connection. I'm able to send a string to the GSM module, and the GSM module replies. I can check and decode it with the osciloscope, and everything seem fine on the hardware side, apart from a little overshoot on the rising edge ... but it might be due to the ground lead of my osciloscope probe being too long.
I'll post my code, maybe anyone can spot something wrong, and help me figure out why I'm not catching nothing with my RX isr.
main.h
| Code: |
#include <18F47K42.h>
#device ADC=12
#fuses MCLR //Master Clear pin enabled
#fuses NOWDT //No Watch Dog Timer
#fuses NOPUT //No Power Up Timer
#fuses BROWNOUT //Reset when brownout detected
#fuses BORV28 //Brownout reset at 2.8V
#fuses STVREN //Stack full/underflow will cause reset
#fuses NODEBUG //No Debug mode for ICD
#fuses NOLVP //No low voltage prgming, B3(PIC16) or B5(PIC18) used for I/O
#fuses NOWDT //No Watch Dog Timer
#fuses FCMEN //Fail-safe clock monitor enabled
#fuses NOXINST //Extended set extension and Indexed Addressing mode disabled (Legacy mode)
#fuses PROTECT //Code protected from reading
#fuses NOWRTD //Data EEPROM not write protected
#use delay(internal=32MHz)
#use rs232(baud=115200,parity=N,xmit=PIN_D0,rcv=PIN_C7,bits=8, stream=GSM)
|
main.c
| Code: |
#include <main.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "my_flex_lcd20x4.c"
#define BUFFER_SIZE 256
char myString[BUFFER_SIZE];
BYTE buffer[BUFFER_SIZE];
BYTE next_in = 0;
BYTE next_out = 0;
BOOLEAN IncomingMsg=FALSE;
#INT_RDA
void serial_isr()
{
int t;
buffer[next_in]=fgetc(GSM);
t=next_in;
next_in=(next_in+1) % BUFFER_SIZE;
if(next_in==next_out) next_in=t; // Buffer full !!
IncomingMsg=TRUE;
}
#define bkbhit (next_in!=next_out)
BYTE bgetc()
{
BYTE c;
while(!bkbhit) ;
c=buffer[next_out];
next_out=(next_out+1) % BUFFER_SIZE;
return(c);
}
// Remove special chars from the string received from the GSM module
// 0x0A = Line feed "\n" 0x0C = Form feed "\f" 0x0D = Carriage Return "\r"
void CleanReply(void)
{
int i;
char temp;
i=0;
while(bkbhit)
{
temp=bgetc(); // Copy buffer to myString
if(!(temp==0x0A || temp==0x0C|| temp==0x0D))
{
myString[i]=temp;
i++;
}
if(i > (BUFFER_SIZE-2)) break;
}
myString[i]=NULL; // NULL terminate string
IncomingMsg=FALSE;
}
void main()
{
enable_interrupts(INT_RDA);
enable_interrupts(GLOBAL);
lcd_init();
printf(lcd_putc,"\f UART RX-TX test!");
while(TRUE)
{
fprintf(GSM,"AT\r\n");
lcd_gotoxy(1,2);printf(lcd_putc,"Sent: AT isrFlag:%u",IncomingMsg);
delay_ms(1000);
CleanReply();
lcd_gotoxy(1,3);printf(lcd_putc,"> %s",myString);
delay_ms(500);
}
}
|
I'm not showing the LCD driver, as it is a bit long, and it is working without any problems, I'll just show the pins used for configuration:
| Code: |
// my_flex_lcd20x4.c
#define LCD_RS PIN_C0
#define LCD_RW PIN_C1
#define LCD_E PIN_C2
#define LCD_DB4 PIN_C3
#define LCD_DB5 PIN_C4
#define LCD_DB6 PIN_C5
#define LCD_DB7 PIN_C6
|
On the main.c code, one can see that I even used a flag inside the #INT_RDA isr, just to "flag" if the isr is called, and this flag is always 0 ... and needless to say, I cannot catch the GSM serial reply (which by way it replies "AT OK"
I even started to question if the RX1 pin was working, but if I change the rsr232 initialization line to this:
| Code: |
#use rs232(baud=115200,parity=N,xmit=PIN_C7,rcv=PIN_D0,bits=8, stream=GSM)
|
I can see the PIC starts to transmit on the PIN_C7 instead of the previous PIN_D0 ... so, I guess this is not the problem (?)
Oh well, I'm stuck, can someone please check my code, and see what I'm missing ? Thanks in advance

I would start by making sure you are specifying a hardware UART. Some versions of the compiler can interpret your #use rs232 as a software UART and then the ISR wouldn't work
| Code: |
#use rs232(UART1,baud=115200,parity=N,bits=8, ERRORS,stream=GSM)
|
I don't know which UART you are using, but I just set the example to 1. Feel free to change it to 2 or 3 or whatever you use. |

Since you are using a non-standard XMIT pin and this version is a PPS chip you can try adding Pin-Select lines for the TX/RX pins. Without that I expect it is
generating a software UART which will not generate interrupts.
You also need to add ERRORS to your #use rs232 line.

Hi jeremiah,
Thanks for your help.
I'm using UART1 for RS232, and I want to use UART2 for RS485 (haven't got there, yet)
According to the datasheet, the hardware pin for RX1 is C7, and TX1 would be a PPS pin, so I have already tried something like this:
| Code: |
#pin_select U1TX=PIN_D0
#pin_select U1RX=PIN_C7
#use rs232(baud=115200,parity=N,UART1,bits=8,stream=GSM,ERRORS)
|
problem is, compiler don't let me choose D0 as a U1TX. Compiler only lets me choose some Port B or Port C pins ... which is odd, IMHO, because I failed to see that mentioned on the datasheet. And as I'm using smd components, I designed my PCB to use PIN_D0 as a TX pin. Oh well, I'll have to figure out a way to change my PCB |

just the compiler don't let me use PIN_D0 for TX1. (please see my previous reply) ... but I'll try to find a way, and I'll post the results  |

don't use them fancy PICs with PPS but..
..does THAT PIC allow PPS to configure the pins the way you want ?
It might be that certain pins cannot be used for certain peripherals ??
Buried 3-400 page down in the datasheet there must be a 'legal/illegal use of pins chart' ?? |

Looking at the datasheet (tables 17.1 and 17.2) that combination of pins is not
available for PPS on the hardware UARTs. Either one or the other (U1 or U2)
but not both.

Some of the latest chips have pretty much universal PPS. Any device,
to any pin. However the older PPS chips have restrictions on what can
be done. Usually particular devices can only go to particular pins from
a group of pins. This chip is one of these. This is why there are the tables
of which devices can go to which pins. The compiler can't change these
limits. |

I confess I didn't read all those 833 pages, but at least I was thinking I could redirect the TX1 output to any other pin.
On table 2 it even mentions that:
For RX1: "This is a PPS remappable input signal. The input function may be moved from the default location shown to one of several other PORTx pins."
For TX1: "All output signals shown in this row are PPS remappable"
I've failed to check tables 17.1 and 17.2, as dyeatman mentioned. ...

You've nailed my friend !
Indeed, contrary to my first assumption, I can only use Port B or Port C to remap the UARTs I/O. Even though I left RX1 on RC7 and RX2 on RB7, as defined at POR
My mistake was assuming I could remap TX1 to RD0. (TX2 I left on RB5, so, should be OK) |

Absolutely right my friend !
This is not one of those chips that I can remap pins without restrictions ... unfortunately. |

I want to thank you all for your help ! "My" UART is now working, and I have already marked this post as "SOLVED".
