Help with USB: 18f2550 ( RAM: 56%), 18F67J50 (RAM: 75%)

Hi,

I think CCS has some kind of bug. I compiled this:

Code:

#include <18F2550.h>
#fuses HSPLL,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,NOLVP,NODEBUG,NOBROWNOUT,USBDIV,PLL5,CPUDIV1,VREGEN,PUT
#use delay(clock=48000000)

#include "usb_cdc.h"

void main(void)
{ 
   usb_cdc_init();
   usb_init();
   usb_wait_for_enumeration();
   
   printf(usb_cdc_putc,"HELLO");
}



Code:

#include <18F67J50.h>
#fuses H4_SW,NOWDT,NOXINST,STVREN,NOPROTECT,FCMEN,NODEBUG,PLL2,NOCPUDIV,MSSPMSK7,IESO
#use delay(clock=48000000)

#include "usb_cdc.h"

#bit PLLEN = 0xf9b.6 // To solve problem with PLL enable ( found on CCS forums )

void main(void)
{   
   PLLEN = 1;
   
   usb_cdc_init();
   usb_init();
   usb_wait_for_enumeration();
   
   printf(usb_cdc_putc,"HELLO");
}



It is same program to 18F2550 and 18F67J50. It is suposed that 18F2550 has 1KB RAM and 18F67J50 has 3,9KB RAM... but when I compile PCWH 4.084 tells me that 18f2550 ocuppied 56% and 18F67J50 ocuppied 75%... Anyone knows how could be this possible??

Thank you very much.

Best regards.

Look in this file:
Quote:
c:\program files\picc\drivers\pic18_usb.h

It has different USB buffer sizes, depending on the PIC that is used.
For the 18F67J50, it uses all available ram for the buffer, except for
0x500 bytes:
Quote:

#if (getenv("DEVICE")=="PIC18F67J50") || (getenv("DEVICE")=="PIC18F66J55") || \
#define __USB_87J50__
#define USB_TOTAL_BUFFER_SPACE ((int16)getenv("RAM")-0x500)


But for 18F2550, the program only takes 0x300 bytes for the USB buffer:
Quote:
#elif ((getenv("DEVICE")=="PIC18F2455") || (getenv("DEVICE")=="PIC18F2550") || \
(getenv("DEVICE")=="PIC18F4455") || (getenv("DEVICE")=="PIC18F4550"))
#define __USB_4550__
#define USB_TOTAL_BUFFER_SPACE ((int16)0x300)

Yes! You're right. I have noticed that. I think this is due to the allocation of the USB total buffer space
Look at this section (pic18_usb.h)
Code:

Thanks for your quickest and totally right answer. So If I had to use a Device library or program that uses 30% of RAM... 75 + 30 = 105% ... Do I´m out of RAM?? And all because that huge memory reservation??

Best Regards

Please I know that could be an easy question but really I´m out on that. I really dont know if I could reserve more 'free' RAM for my stuff modifing that value. Could you please help me?

Thanks and best regards.

I believe Darren Rook of CCS wrote the USB drivers.
Email him and ask him about the necessity of the buffer size for that PIC.
Look on the "Contact" page on the main CCS website for his email address.

Thanks PCM. I´ve seen on Microchip USB forums that you can disable 'EP´s' in order to free some memory. I´ll probably do that because I really dont need all that memory allocation for USB.

Best regards
