PIC18F8680/External Flash Memory doubt
PostPosted: Mon Feb 06, 2006 1:24 pm     Reply with quote

I have a PIC18F8680, running at 20MHz/5V, connected to an external AM29F800B Flash memory. I have 2 74HC373 between memory and MCU, in a 8051-like way.
The code runs for others tasks but I see no memory signals on the scope.
MPLAB 7.3 PCB/PCM/PCH 4.241

Does anybody has a sample routine I can see or any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance.
Pasini

My code is:
Code:
#include "18f8680.h"
#device *=16 ADC=10
#fuses HS,NOWDT,NOPUT,NOPROTECT,NOBROWNOUT,NOLVP,NOCPD,NOWRT,EMCU,WAIT
#use delay(clock=20000000)
#use FAST_IO (C)
#case

void WriteExtFlash(void)
{
   int32 i;
   int8 value;
      
   value= 0xAB;
   for(i=0;i<=9;i++)
   {   value = i;
      write_external_memory(i, &value, 1);   
      delay_ms(7);
   }
}

void ReadExtFlash(void)
{         
   char buffer[10];
   read_external_memory(0, buffer, 10);   
   delay_ms(1);
}

void TesteMemoria(void)
{
   char buffer[100];
   while(1)
   {   DesligaMem();
      LigaMem();
      WriteExtFlash();
      ReadExtFlash();
   }
}



void main(void)
{
   // setup PWM
   setup_ccp1 (CCP_OFF); // disable PWM hardware
   setup_ccp2 (CCP_OFF); // disable PWM hardware

   // setup ADC
   setup_adc_ports(AN0_TO_AN1|VSS_VDD);
   setup_adc(ADC_CLOCK_DIV_32);

   // setup counters
    setup_counters(RTCC_INTERNAL,RTCC_DIV_2);
   
    // setup external memory
    LigaMem();    // is equal to output_high(RESET_MEM)
    setup_external_memory(EXTMEM_WORD_WRITE|EXTMEM_WAIT_0);
   
    // setup interrupts
   enable_interrupts(INT_TIMER0);
   enable_interrupts(GLOBAL);   

   set_tris_a(0b00010011);
   set_tris_g(0b00000000);
   set_tris_c(0b11000011);
   set_tris_f(0b00000000);
   set_tris_j(0b00000000);

   // definis iniciais
   DesligaBuzzer();
   LigaBckLight();
   LigaContraste();
   
   LigaMCU();
   LigaMem();

                TesteMemoria();


}

The data sheet for the 18F8680 has a chart on page 55 (in the Acrobat
reader) which shows that in Extended Microcontroller mode, the external
memory starts at address 0x10000.

If you look in the CCS driver file AT29C1024.C, they add the offset
within the external memory chip to the base address of the external
memory, in order to create the full correct address. You need to do
this too. Example:
Code:

#define EXT_MEM_BASE_ADDR  0x10000

write_external_memory(EXT_MEM_BASE_ADDR + i, &value, 1);


And also for the read:
Code:
read_external_memory(EXT_MEM_BASE_ADDR, buffer, 10);   


I haven't used external memory before, so I don't know for sure
if this is the complete answer to get it running, but it will certainly help.
