Self programming code relocation
PostPosted: Tue Apr 18, 2006 9:29 am     Reply with quote

CCS-V3.249
I have a program that Rcv data, process packets, and if the data is a new program it stores it in FRAM at 0-0x7FFF. I have a self programming function that worked when #org'd at the end of memory. I need help in trying to move it to the protected begining of memory.
I am getting invalid org range when I try moving PrgmPIC to low mem.
Code:
#include <18F452.H>
#case
#use delay(clock=40000000)
#fuses h4,nowdt,noprotect,nolvp
#use rs232(baud=19200,xmit=PIN_C0,invert,stream=DEBUG,disable_ints) // stderr(same as debug)
#zero_ram
//------------------------------------------------------------------//
#ifndef hi
  #define hi(x)  (*(&x+1))  //data held at addr of x + 1
  #define lo(x)  (*(&x))    //data held at addr of x
#endif

void main_app(void);
#separate
void PrgmPIC(void);
int8 int_count_tmr3,RX_BUF[64];
void main(void){
  main_app();
}
void main_app(void){
  set_tris_c(0xFF);set_tris_a(0);set_tris_b(0);set_tris_d(0);set_tris_e(0);
  setup_adc_ports(NO_ANALOGS);
  setup_timer_3(T3_INTERNAL|T3_DIV_BY_8);
  set_timer3(0);
  int_count_tmr3 = 20;
  enable_interrupts(INT_TIMER3);
  enable_interrupts(GLOBAL);
  fprintf(DEBUG,"Rx packet\n\r");
  fprintf(DEBUG,"Process packet\n\r");
  fprintf(DEBUG,"If program data save in FRAM\n\r");//FRAM addr 0-0x7FFF
  fprintf(DEBUG,"Now ProgPIC\n\r");//ProgPIC is in protected Boot area
  PrgmPIC();
  fprintf(DEBUG,"Reset_CPU\n\r");
  fprintf(DEBUG,"DONE !\n\r");
  while(1)
  {
  }
}

//=======================timer 2 ISR============================//
#INT_TIMER3                   // This function is called every time
void timer3_isr() {           // timer 2 overflows (250->0), which is
  int8 x;
  if(--int_count_tmr3==0){// approximately 61 times per second for this program.
    fprintf(DEBUG,".");
    int_count_tmr3 = 20;
  }

There are several problems.
First, you cannot have a int_timer3 declaration, when you have an int_global declaration. As soon as you have the latter, _you_ become responsible for vectoring to all the interrupt handlers.
The second problem, is that you memory range is already used by the main routine. Declare this after your relocated routine, and add a #org default line after your routine, to allow normal memory management to 'restart' at this point.

Best Wishes

I thought I wanted the ISR to be re-programable. Thus they needed to be outside of the "protected" area. That is why is tried the int_global to redirect to the new ISR. Is this the correct way to handle this?
Is this how you suggested it? main inside protected area, which simply jumps outside to the main_app() ? ((this won't compile))
Code:
#include <18F452.H>
#case
#use delay(clock=40000000)
#fuses h4,nowdt,noprotect,nolvp
#use rs232(baud=19200,xmit=PIN_C0,invert,stream=DEBUG,disable_ints) // stderr(same as debug)
#zero_ram
//------------------------------------------------------------------//
#ifndef hi
  #define hi(x)  (*(&x+1))  //data held at addr of x + 1
  #define lo(x)  (*(&x))    //data held at addr of x
#endif

void main_app(void);
#separate
void PrgmPIC(void);
int8 int_count_tmr3,RX_BUF[64];

You use the timer interrupt in the bootloader for progress information. Nice but not very accurate, you are only showing the time passed since program start, it doesn't say anything about actual progress. Assume that the programming algorithm fails then you will still be outputing new '. ' characters. Why not change your program as to output a '.' character after programming every 512 bytes? That will give you:
- more accurate progress information
- you don't need the interrupt anymore
- and without the interrupt overhead the bootloader will be smaller.

Without using interrupts in your bootloader you can use the #build command to relocate the interrupt vectors.

Didn't mean to mislead you. The #INT_TIMER3 is just so I have an INT. I want the ISR's in the unprotected(re-programmable) area. I didn't mean it to do anything. In the real code I use RDA and others,.. timer3 was just a short and handy representation.
The problem is I can't get the code PrgmPIC in low mem.
