| RTCC stops Timer1 |

Hi
I am using a PIC18F87K22 and CCS 4.135
My timer1 interrupt routine works unless the RTCC is setup. However I wish to use both.
In my initalize routine I have
| Code: |
// Tick Timer
setup_timer_1(T1_INTERNAL|T1_DIV_BY_2);
// Enables internal RTCC
// setup_rtc(RTC_ENABLE,0);
......
enable_interrupts(INT_TIMER1);
enable_interrupts(GLOBAL);
|
This seems to work fine and my timer ISR gets called OK.
But if the line "setup_rtc(RTC_ENABLE,0);" is uncommented then the ISR is no longer called.
As far as I can see from the data sheet timer 1 and the RTCC are separate.
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong ? |

It's likely this is a compiler bug. I'm using 4.137 and I noticed that setup_rtc is generating code that configures Timer 1. I'm not using timer 1, so I haven't (yet) gotten around to analyzing the problem further.
Try swapping the order - setup the RTC first, then timer 1.

The default RTC code assumes you want to use the T1 external oscillator...
The behaviour varies with compiler version. On older compilers you had to explicitly enable/start the secondary oscillator, but the later versions all seem to try to set this up...
Make sure you have RTCOSC_INT selected in the fuses, then setup Timer1 after setting up the RTCC.

Using RTCOSC_INT instead of RTCOSC_T1 has brought timer 1 back to life and now interrupts a before.
Does this mean the RTCC is using an internal RC clock rather than the sosc crystal ?
I can relate some of the fuses to bits in the configuration bits as shown in the data sheet but quite a few are guesswork.
E.g I believe #FUSES DEBUG sets CONFIG4L bit 7 but how can I ensure the RTCC is in fact using the external crystal ? |
