External eeprom reading and writing |

Hi,
I am using pic16f877a. I have to store a large amount of hours and minutes in memory. So I am planning to use external eeprom(24c64). I have checked the example program of external eeprom using Proteus. I used the 2464.c file for the external memory driver.
In Proteus, I have connected the microcontroller with 24c64 ic with wp,a0,a1,a2 shorted to ground. But the result is not as expected. I can't get the same write data when I read it from the same location (Proteus result). I have not checked in real time.
My ccs version is 4.074. My code is same as PCM programmer's code, Code: |
#include <16F877A.h>
#device adc=8
#FUSES NOWDT //No Watch Dog Timer
#FUSES XT //Crystal osc <= 4mhz for PCM/PCH , 3mhz to 10 mhz for PCD
#FUSES NOPUT //No Power Up Timer
#FUSES NOPROTECT //Code not protected from reading
#FUSES NODEBUG //No Debug mode for ICD
#FUSES NOBROWNOUT //No brownout reset
#FUSES NOLVP //No low voltage prgming, B3(PIC16) or B5(PIC18) used for I/O
#FUSES NOCPD //No EE protection
#FUSES NOWRT //Program memory not write protected
#use delay(clock=4000000)
#use i2c(Master,Fast,sda=PIN_C4,scl=PIN_C3)
#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7, ERRORS)
#define EEPROM_SDA PIN_C4
#define EEPROM_SCL PIN_C3
#include <2464.c>
//=====================================
void main()
{
printf("Start\n\r");
init_ext_eeprom();
write_ext_eeprom(0, 55);
delay_ms(10);
write_ext_eeprom(2, 85);
delay_ms(10);
printf("%d ", read_ext_eeprom(0));
delay_ms(10);
printf("%d", read_ext_eeprom(2));
delay_ms(10);
while(1);
}
|
I have used the following line in the 24c64.c .
#use i2c(master, sda=EEPROM_SDA, scl=EEPROM_SCL, FORCE_HW)
The result is 111 and 43 for the program.
Please give me any suggestions to store and read the correct value from external eeprom.

Obvious 'common question', with I2C. You _have_ got the pull-up resistors on SDA and SCL?. Typically 2K2R or similar value needed.
You'd not normally get the value you are seeing without these, but Proteus commonly gets things like this 'wrong' (the PIC simulator is cr%p).....

Are you saying you have TWO use I2C lines? One in the main code, as shown above, and in 2464.c? This may cause all sorts of problems and confusion. Only the last should have any effect, but that may not be the case. Only have ONE, in this case the best one to keep is the one in 2464.c, and remove the one in your main C file.
That's often the way a well written driver file works: it has all the code it needs to do its job, in this including the I2C stuff. All you need to do is point it to the IO ports you are using, by the defines.

Hi,
Thanks for the replies...
In real time it is working perfectly.. But in proteus, the results are bad. Why it is so? _________________ Embedding Innovation |

Because proteus is an interpretation of complex hardware...
Everyone says proteus is to be avoided. Just build a proto and work real hardware.
Less headaches in the long run. _________________ Dazed and confused? I don't think so. Just "plain lost" will do. :D |

Lesson #1. Forget Proteus. It's so full of bugs you're wasting valuable time trying to emulate a PIC with it.
