Problem with V4.131
PostPosted: Wed Mar 28, 2012 2:11 am     Reply with quote

Hi,

in my code for an PIC18F46k80 i declare in the header (*.h) some variables for initializing and selecting direction of port pins :
Code:
                                             //   Init Outputregister PortA
#define IO_A0_INI      0                           //
#define IO_A1_INI      0                           //
#define IO_A2_INI      0                           //
#define IO_A3_INI      0                           //
#define IO_A4_INI      1                           //
#define IO_A5_INI      1                           //
#define IO_A6_INI      1                           //
#define IO_A7_INI      1                           //

                                             //   In/Out PortA (0 = Output // 1 = Input)
#define   IO_A0_DIR      0                           //   M2 Direction Left
#define   IO_A1_DIR      0                           //   M2 Direction Right
#define   IO_A2_DIR      0                           //   M1 Direction Left
#define   IO_A3_DIR      0                           //   M1 Direction Right
#define   IO_A4_DIR      1                           //
#define   IO_A5_DIR      1                           //
#define   IO_A6_DIR      1                           //   M1 Encoder Line A
#define   IO_A7_DIR      1                           //   M1 Encoder Line B


The variables will be used in my init-routine :
Code:
   output_bit (PIN_A0, IO_A0_INI);                     //   Initialize Outputregister PortA
   output_bit (PIN_A1, IO_A1_INI);                     //
   output_bit (PIN_A2, IO_A2_INI);                     //
   output_bit (PIN_A3, IO_A3_INI);                     //
//   output_bit (PIN_A4, IO_A4_INI);                     //
   output_bit (PIN_A5, IO_A5_INI);                     //
   output_bit (PIN_A6, IO_A6_INI);                     //
   output_bit (PIN_A7, IO_A7_INI);                     //


#if IO_A0_DIR == 1
   output_float (PIN_A0);                           //   Set In/Out PortA
#else
   output_drive (PIN_A0);
#endif

#if IO_A1_DIR == 1
   output_float (PIN_A1);
#else
   output_drive (PIN_A1);
#endif

#if IO_A2_DIR == 1
   output_float (PIN_A2);
#else
   output_drive (PIN_A2);
#endif

#if IO_A3_DIR == 1
   output_float (PIN_A3);
#else
   output_drive (PIN_A3);
#endif
/*
#if IO_A4_DIR == 1
   output_float (PIN_A4);
#else
   output_drive (PIN_A4);
#endif
*/
#if IO_A5_DIR == 1
   output_float (PIN_A5);
#else
   output_drive (PIN_A5);
#endif

#if IO_A6_DIR == 1
   output_float (PIN_A6);
#else
   output_drive (PIN_A6);
#endif

#if IO_A7_DIR == 1
   output_float (PIN_A7);
#else
   output_drive (PIN_A7);
#endif


Since my update from V4.125 to V4.131 i get this result :
Code:
....................    output_bit (PIN_A0, IO_A0_INI);                     //   Initialize Outputregister PortA
006D2:  BCF    F89.0

....................    output_bit (PIN_A3, IO_A3_INI);                     //
006D8:  BCF    F89.3
.................... //   output_bit (PIN_A4, IO_A4_INI);                     //
....................    output_bit (PIN_A5, IO_A5_INI);                     //
006DA:  BSF    F89.5

.................... #if IO_A0_DIR == 1
....................    output_float (PIN_A0);                           //   Set In/Out PortA
.................... #else
....................    output_drive (PIN_A0);
00718:  BCF    F92.0
.................... #endif
.................... 
.................... #if IO_A1_DIR == 1
....................    output_float (PIN_A1);
.................... #else
....................    output_drive (PIN_A1);
0071A:  BCF    F92.1
.................... #endif
.................... 
.................... #if IO_A2_DIR == 1
....................    output_float (PIN_A2);
.................... #else
....................    output_drive (PIN_A2);
0071C:  BCF    F92.2
.................... #endif
.................... 
.................... #if IO_A3_DIR == 1
....................    output_float (PIN_A3);
.................... #else
....................    output_drive (PIN_A3);
0071E:  BCF    F92.3
.................... #endif
.................... /*
.................... #if IO_A4_DIR == 1
....................    output_float (PIN_A4);
.................... #else
....................    output_drive (PIN_A4);
.................... #endif
.................... */
.................... #if IO_A5_DIR == 1
....................    output_float (PIN_A5);
00720:  MOVLB  1
00722:  BSF    x06.5
00724:  MOVFF  106,F92
.................... #else
....................    output_drive (PIN_A5);
.................... #endif
.................... 
.................... #if IO_A6_DIR == 1
....................    output_float (PIN_A6);
00728:  BSF    x06.6
0072A:  MOVFF  106,F92
.................... #else
....................    output_drive (PIN_A6);
.................... #endif
.................... 
.................... #if IO_A7_DIR == 1
....................    output_float (PIN_A7);
0072E:  BSF    x06.7
00730:  MOVFF  106,F92
.................... #else
....................    output_drive (PIN_A7);
.................... #endif



The problem is this :
Code:
.................... #if IO_A5_DIR == 1
....................    output_float (PIN_A5);
00720:  MOVLB  1
00722:  BSF    x06.5
00724:  MOVFF  106,F92
.................... #else
....................    output_drive (PIN_A5);
.................... #endif
.................... 
.................... #if IO_A6_DIR == 1
....................    output_float (PIN_A6);
00728:  BSF    x06.6
0072A:  MOVFF  106,F92
.................... #else
....................    output_drive (PIN_A6);
.................... #endif
.................... 
.................... #if IO_A7_DIR == 1
....................    output_float (PIN_A7);
0072E:  BSF    x06.7
00730:  MOVFF  106,F92
.................... #else
....................    output_drive (PIN_A7);
.................... #endif



Normally that only has to be :
Code:
.................... #if IO_A5_DIR == 1
....................    output_float (PIN_A5);
00xxx:  BSF    F92.5
.................... #else
....................    output_drive (PIN_A5);
.................... #endif
.................... 
.................... #if IO_A6_DIR == 1
....................    output_float (PIN_A6);
00xxx:  BSF    F92.6
.................... #else
....................    output_drive (PIN_A6);
.................... #endif
.................... 
.................... #if IO_A7_DIR == 1
....................    output_float (PIN_A7);
00xxx:  BSF    F92.7
.................... #else
....................    output_drive (PIN_A7);
.................... #endif




Is that problem in my code or is it from the compiler????

In the V4.125 it worked good!


Kindly regards
Ralph Harms

Supplement :

I upgraded because i got this problem with V4.125 :
Code:
....................    port_d_pullups (True);
006D4:  MOVLW  01
006D6:  MOVLB  F
006D8:  MOVWF  x5B
006DA:  BSF    x86.7
.................... 


The error is :
Code:
006DA:  BSF    x86.7


Correct is (it´s working with V4.131) :
Code:
....................    port_d_pullups (True);
006D4:  MOVLW  01
006D6:  MOVLB  F
006D8:  MOVWF  x5B
006DA:  BSF    x56.7
.................... 



But, why is the pull-up of RB0 switched on with the "port_d_pullups (True)" ????

The difference is that they are maintaining a RAM copy of the TRIS setting.
This is done to fix another problem with the chip.
This doesn't affect the functionality at all. However what will affect the functionality, is that the old code is doing it the wrong way round!....
If you look at the old code, for the first 'output_float', it is clearing the bit. This is simply 'wrong'. TRIS bits need to be '1' to make the pin 'float'. The new code is doing it correctly.....

OK, i was too lazy to downgrade again to the V4.125 and make a snip of the code, so i have edited it manually (i have corrected it now in the first post). So this fault was mine. Sorry.

But at all, with the new code my outputs will not work.

Do you have an idea why?

I think it´s because the buffer byte (address 0x106) ist not defined before these operations.

OK,

at the beginning of my init routine i have inserted this code :
Code:
#byte   Test = 0x106;
      Test = 0;


After compiling i have checked the list file :
Code:
.................... 
.................... #byte   Test = 0x106;
....................    Test = 0;
006D8:  MOVLB  1
006DA:  CLRF   x06
.................... 

Code:
.................... #if IO_A5_DIR == 1
....................    output_float (PIN_A5);
0072A:  BSF    x06.5
0072C:  MOVFF  106,F92
.................... #else
....................    output_drive (PIN_A5);
.................... #endif
.................... 
.................... #if IO_A6_DIR == 1
....................    output_float (PIN_A6);
00730:  BSF    x06.6
00732:  MOVFF  106,F92
.................... #else
....................    output_drive (PIN_A6);
.................... #endif
.................... 
.................... #if IO_A7_DIR == 1
....................    output_float (PIN_A7);
00736:  BSF    x06.7
00738:  MOVFF  106,F92
.................... #else
....................    output_drive (PIN_A7);
.................... #endif
.................... 


Then i checked the function, and it worked. So it seems that the problem is that the buffer byte is not defined before the operations. The buffer has to be set to the previous defined value in the TRIS. But i can´t do that manually, because the compiler selects the address for the buffer. Maybe after some changes it is another address.

Oh, thats pretty nice.

If i use "#use standard_io (all)" before my init code (and #use fast_io (All) after that), i get this result and it works (but the problem with the "port_d_pullups (True); " is still alive) :
Code:
.................... 
.................... #use      standard_io (all)
.................... 
.................... #if IO_A0_DIR == 1
.................... //   output_float (PIN_A0);                           //   Set In/Out PortA
.................... #else
....................    output_drive (PIN_A0);
00722:  BCF    F92.0
.................... #endif
.................... 
.................... #if IO_A1_DIR == 1
.................... //   output_float (PIN_A1);
.................... #else
....................    output_drive (PIN_A1);
00724:  BCF    F92.1
.................... #endif
.................... 
.................... #if IO_A2_DIR == 1
.................... //   output_float (PIN_A2);
.................... #else
....................    output_drive (PIN_A2);
00726:  BCF    F92.2
.................... #endif
.................... 
.................... #if IO_A3_DIR == 1
.................... //   output_float (PIN_A3);
.................... #else
....................    output_drive (PIN_A3);
00728:  BCF    F92.3
.................... #endif
.................... /*
.................... #if IO_A4_DIR == 1
....................    output_float (PIN_A4);
.................... #else
....................    output_drive (PIN_A4);
.................... #endif
.................... */
.................... #if IO_A5_DIR == 1
....................    output_float (PIN_A5);
0072A:  BSF    F92.5
.................... #else
....................    output_drive (PIN_A5);
.................... #endif
.................... 
.................... #if IO_A6_DIR == 1
....................    output_float (PIN_A6);
0072C:  BSF    F92.6
.................... #else
....................    output_drive (PIN_A6);
.................... #endif
.................... 
.................... #if IO_A7_DIR == 1
....................    output_float (PIN_A7);
0072E:  BSF    F92.7
.................... #else
....................    output_drive (PIN_A7);
.................... #endif

On the pull up, that is an error with the device database accessing the wrong register. If you have the full IDE, the device editor will allow you to change this.
I'd report the other behaviour to CCS.
