Tiny Bootloader PIC18F8722
PostPosted: Mon Feb 18, 2008 8:08 am     Reply with quote

Hello,

I am trying to use the tiny bootloader with a 18F8722....
And to make tinks more complez I have also a RS485 connection...
Receive and Transit is connected like the normal RS232 pins.. ie through a SN75176.... This works... Have connected the RE/DE pin to RE0. And when I use the tiny bootlader with a modificated Tinybootloade.ASM I can get the HEX file into the PIC..... But when it should run after a reset I can't get any contact with it....... anyone a idea?????

include mine ASM file.

Thanks in advance,
Jody

   xtal EQU 10000000     ; you may want to change: _XT_OSC_1H  _HS_OSC_1H  _HSPLL_OSC_1H
   baud EQU 19200        ; standard TinyBld baud rates: 115200 or 19200
   ; The above 3 lines can be changed and buid a bootloader for the desired frequency (and PIC type)

Hi...

I'm surprised by your post, as it took me less than 2 minutes to have Tiny Bootlader working on a PIC18F4620. What do you mean "I manage to get the HEX file into the PIC" ? When I read your problem, I'm afraid I understand that you use the programm Tiny Bootloader to load the bootloader firmware into your PIC, which can't work, as far as I know.

You didn't need either to post the ASM code from the bootlader : except the 3 first configuration lines, it's all working code and we all have the same. Smile

The process is to load the bootloader firmware into your PIC (I use ICD programmer for that), then at reset your PIC will enter the bootloader mode, which means it'll wait for you to send your own programm using Tiny Bootloader. Check the settings for your serial port (Tiny Bootloader uses 115200 bauds by default, but your firmware in ASM says you use a 19200 bauds connection on the PIC side) : then click on "write flash" to begin programmation... It HAS to work !

Good luck, young padawan.
Christophe.

Well working with "just" RS232 I has no problems....
And I wrote a simple LED flash program...
The bootloader I program with the CCS ICD..
And then I program mine hex file with tiny bootloader to the PIC...
So far.. so good...
when I now reset the PIC to progam doesn't run........ that is the LED doesn't flash.....

And: "Good luck, young padawan" what age are you... calling someone else "young"????

Jody

Jody,

I think I see a couple of possible issues.

First, why would you provide a 50us delay for the enable transition? The 75176bp data sheet I looked at indicated an enable line latency of ~80ns (nano-seconds).

Secondly, in the following code snippet, it appears that you are looping while waiting for the TXIF register to be set. Is this necessary? I mean if you load the TXREG and wait for the TRMT to set, as you are doing, why then do you subsequently need to test the TXIF prior to sending the next byte?

Hello Christophe,

Oke It seems that we found it....
Delay 50uS was just stupid....... I made a mistake.....
And the RE0 pin has a small pulldown resitor on the line..... The SN75176 was not always enabled.... Again I made the mistake.....
Right now it is working like I was expecting it......

Thanks for the help!!!!

Jody
