Atmel Dataflash problems |

Hello,
I am attempting to use a piece of Atmel AT45DB041B flash memory with a PIC18F452 and I'm running into a few problems.
After some work, I've gotten the SPI working properly. I can read status bits off the memory, as well as write to and read from either buffer. However, I am (seemingly) unable to write to the main flash memory or read back from it. If I write to the buffer, and then use to buffer to main memory command, and then use a continuous read starting at the address I wrote to buffer to all I get are 1's. If I initiate the command, and then immediately read the status bit, the status bit indicates the device is busy. Checking the status bit again after several ms (I usually use 20, just to be safe) indicates the device is ready again.
I've looked through the datasheet about a zillion times, and went over the App note from Atmel, as well as reading some code I found on these forums. They all appear to do exactly what I do! As you might imagine, this is getting quite frustrating. I've ordered some different flash memory to use for this project, but my curiosity is keeping me working on this Atmel memory just to figure out what's wrong. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Following are the functions I'm using to interact with the memory:
#define CS_PIN PIN_A1
void b1topage(long destpage)
{
output_low(CS_PIN);
spi_write(0x83);
spi_write(destpage>>7);
spi_write(destpage<<1);
spi_write(0x00); // don't cares
output_high(CS_PIN);
}
void b1write(char data, long bufferaddr)
{
output_low(CS_PIN);
spi_Write(0x84);
spi_write(0x00); // Don't cares
spi_write(bufferaddr>>8);
spi_write(make8(bufferaddr,0));
spi_write(data);
output_high(CS_PIN);
}
void contread(long startpage) // Continuous read mode
{
output_low(CS_PIN);
spi_write(0xE8);
spi_write(startpage>>7);
spi_write(startpage<<1);
spi_write(0x00);
spi_write(0x00);
spi_write(0x00);
spi_write(0x00);
spi_write(0x00);
}
void b1read(long startbyte)
{
output_low(CS_PIN);
spi_write(0xD4);
spi_write(0x00);
spi_write(startbyte>>8);
spi_write(make8(startbyte,0));
spi_write(0x00);
}
void pageread(long startpage)
{
output_low(CS_PIN);
spi_write(0xD2);
spi_write(startpage>>7);
spi_write(startpage<<1);
spi_write(0x00);
spi_write(0x00);
spi_write(0x00);
spi_write(0x00);
spi_write(0x00);
}
void closeread()
{
output_high(CS_PIN);
}
char readstatus()
{
char status;
output_low(CS_PIN);
spi_write(0x57);
status=spi_read(0x00);
output_high(CS_PIN);
return status;
}
If you need anything else from my code, just let me know and I'll post it up. I did not feel anything else was pertinent to my problem, but I'm willing to do anything to solve this problem. Thanks in advance. |

I assume that you havn't grounded the WR# pin that write protects the first 256 pages? |

Boujour,
i use the Atmel AR45DB321B with a PIC18F452 without problem.
