Read_eeprom/interrupt halts PIC
PostPosted: Thu Oct 27, 2005 11:39 pm     Reply with quote

Hi All,

I have a problem with read_eeprom halting my PIC16F876. I am using TMR0 to clock information out of port C. When the interrupt is running and I try to use the read_eeprom command the PIC halts.

From what I can see it is a similar problem to:

http://www.ccsinfo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=159&highlight=readeeprom+interrupt

CCS PCM C Compiler, Version 3.224

The disable/enable interrupts in the following code allows the code to function correctly, without it the PIC comes to a grinding halt.
Code:
....................    i=0;
016B:  CLRF   4A
....................    do { 
....................       disable_interrupts(GLOBAL); // Enable Interrupts
016C:  BCF    0B.6
016D:  BCF    0B.7
016E:  BTFSC  0B.7
016F:  GOTO   16D
....................       j = read_eeprom(i++); 
0170:  MOVF   4A,W
0171:  INCF   4A,F
0172:  MOVWF  4C
0173:  BSF    03.6
0174:  MOVWF  0D
0175:  BSF    03.5
0176:  BCF    0C.7
0177:  BSF    0C.0
0178:  BCF    03.5
0179:  MOVF   0C,W
017A:  BCF    03.6
017B:  MOVWF  4B
....................       enable_interrupts(GLOBAL); // Enable Interrupts
017C:  MOVLW  C0
017D:  IORWF  0B,F
....................       ax25_putc(j); 
017E:  MOVF   4B,W
017F:  MOVWF  4D
0180:  CALL   0F4
....................    } while (!(j & 1)); 
0181:  BTFSS  4B.0
0182:  GOTO   16C


However the disable/enable interrupt in the following makes no difference and the code halts with or without it.

Code:
....................    disable_interrupts(GLOBAL); // Enable Interrupts
018C:  BCF    0B.6
018D:  BCF    0B.7
018E:  BTFSC  0B.7
018F:  GOTO   18D
....................    ax25_putc(read_eeprom(EE_SYMBOLTABLE)); 
0190:  MOVLW  1E
0191:  BSF    03.6
0192:  MOVWF  0D
0193:  BSF    03.5
0194:  BCF    0C.7
0195:  BSF    0C.0
0196:  BCF    03.5
0197:  MOVF   0C,W
0198:  BCF    03.6
0199:  MOVWF  4C
019A:  MOVWF  4D
019B:  CALL   0F4
....................    enable_interrupts(GLOBAL); // Enable Interrupts
019C:  MOVLW  C0
019D:  IORWF  0B,F


Has anybody else seen this problem or got any ideas on how to fix it.

Many thanks

If you can post a really small test program that we can compile
and drop in on a demo board, then we can test this problem for you.
Be sure to post all #include, #fuses, and #use statements, and
keep the program small.

Hi All,

Well after alot of hunting around the list file I was able to fix this problem. I wrote my own ISR as the application is very time critical. The ISR only processed the TMR0 interrupt as this was the only one I was turning on.

However looking at the ENABLE_INTERRUPT(GLOBAL) instruction it enables both the GIE bit and the PEIE bit. As far as I know my code was not turning on any other interrupts apart from TMR0 but it was getting an interrupt from somewhere.

By using the assembly command BSF 0x8B,7 I was able to just turn on just the GIE bit and everything worked fine.

Thanks for the suggestions and thanks for all the work that everybody puts into the forum.

Cheers

AlanP
