Problem with USB Bootloader(ex_usb_bootloader)
PostPosted: Sat Jan 25, 2014 11:34 am     Reply with quote

Hi! I'm having a hard time trying to load a program using the usb bootloader that comes in the examples folder (ex_usb_bootloader).
I compile and load the bootloader with a programmer and then download the program using siow without problems but then the program loaded doesn't run! I checked fuses and I think the problem must be in usb_bootloader.h, I can't see where the problem is since I checked that is moving the program after the bootloader and reserving space for it. Please help!


This is the testing program I load from siow(flashing led)
Code:

#include <18F46J50.h>
#fuses INTRC_PLL_IO, PLL2,NOPROTECT,NODEBUG,NOCPUDIV,NODSBOR,NODSWDT,NOWPFP,NOWPCFG,NOWPDIS,NOFCMEN,NOIESO,RTCOSC_T1,WDT,WDT32768
#use delay(clock=48mhz)
#include <usb_bootloader.h>
#DEFINE LEDAMA PIN_B3

void main() {
 setup_oscillator(OSC_PLL_ON);
setup_adc (ADC_OFF);
setup_comparator (NC_NC_NC_NC);
SETUP_WDT (WDT_OFF);
port_b_pullups (FALSE);
output_LOW(LEDAMA);
DELAY_MS(100);
 
while(true){
 output_HIGH(LEDAMA);
 DELAY_MS(500);
 output_LOW(LEDAMA);
 DELAY_MS(500);
 }

}


This is the file usb_bootloader.h
Code:

#define LOADER_SIZE        (0x1FFF)
//#else
//#define LOADER_SIZE        (0x17FF)
//#endif

//the loader and application need a common flag that determines if we are in

There is a big problem 'leaping out' here.

You can only use the internal RC oscillator, with PLL, for _low speed_ USB operation. (section 3.4 in the data sheet). The default USB configuration throughout, is 'fast' (high speed). CDC, can't be used with the CCS driver on a slow speed device (read the comments at the start of usb_cdc.h). This is fundamental, since standard CDC uses bulk transfers.
That you are not getting an error when you compile the bootloader, says this is set to use 'fast' (it will warn you that CDC can't work with the standard drivers and a slow speed device).
Remember the fuses used in the program _must_ match the fuses used in the bootloader. The fuses you post could only work with the USB configured for 'slow'.....
In a "can't work" loop here.

Hi Ttelmah,
Thanks so much for your reply!. I checked in all the comments provided in the usb drivers provided and I couldn't find what you say, that CDC can't be used on a slow speed device(I pasted below the comments at the start of usb_cdc.h). What is the version of your compiler?(mine 4.114).
It would be very surprising if that is true because I've been using CDC with low speed for a very long time in different boards(I do it that way so I don't need to use a crystal) and never had any problems. Regarding the bootloader, isn't it suspicious that I'm able to create the serial comm and download the program with siow without problems?
Let me know what you think, I will start preparing a board with a crystal to be able to set the usb at full speed to try.
Thanks a lot!
Javier

Look further down.

Search for the keyword 'USB_USE_FULL_SPEED' (which is the flag to say that the code is being compiled for a full speed or slow device).

Technically CDC, with 'slow' was supported on the original V1 USB spec, and dropped in 1.2. There are quite a few drivers around that use this in 'reverse compatibility' mode, but the standard Windows driver (which CCS uses), doesn't. That the compiler is not issuing the warning, says you are actually compiling in 'full speed' mode, which is not compatible with the fuses you are selecting (the RC oscillator with PLL doesn't support fast).

Hi Ttelmah,
I was able to finish another a board with a crystal. So I got the usb working at full speed, load the bootloader with the programmer, and load the program with siow. I get the same problem as before, it doesn't work...any other ideas?

Code:

#include <18F46J50.h>
#fuses HSPLL,PLL5,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,NODEBUG,NOCPUDIV,NODSBOR,NODSWDT,NOWPFP,NOWPCFG,NOWPDIS,NOFCMEN,NOIESO,RTCOSC_T1
#use delay(clock=48mhz)
#include <usb_bootloader.h>

#DEFINE LEDAMA PIN_B3



void main() {
 setup_oscillator(OSC_PLL_ON);
setup_adc (ADC_OFF);
setup_comparator (NC_NC_NC_NC);
SETUP_WDT (WDT_OFF);

port_b_pullups (FALSE);
output_LOW(LEDAMA);
DELAY_MS(100);
 
while(true){
 output_HIGH(LEDAMA);
 DELAY_MS(500);
 output_LOW(LEDAMA);
 DELAY_MS(500);}

}
