MPSIM F8 and printf instruction
PostPosted: Sat Jul 26, 2008 8:16 am     Reply with quote

Hi

I use mpsim 8.14 together with ccs *.cof file.

One problem is on all printf statement i must have a breakpoint at the following line and select F9="run".
If I use F8="step over" the simulator hang up, only way to get out of this is selection "Debugger" -> "Reset" -> "MCLR Reset" and start all over.

Any hints.

You have a previous thread here on a similar topic:
http://www.ccsinfo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=35365

If you make a test program with a printf() statement in it,
and look at the "Disassembly Listing" window in MPLAB, and
press the F8 key, you will see that it gets stuck at the two lines
indicated below. It is polling the TXIF bit and waiting for
it to go high. When TXIF = 1, the transmit buffer is empty.
This means the character has been transmitted.
Code:
                 printf("Hello ");
  002C    01A1     CLRF 0x21
  002D    0821     MOVF 0x21, W
  002E    2004     CALL 0x4
  002F    0AA1     INCF 0x21, F
  0030    00F7     MOVWF 0x77
  0031    0877     MOVF 0x77, W

// It gets stuck in the following two lines of code:
  0032    1E0C     BTFSS 0xc, 0x4  // Skip if TXIF = 1
  0033    2832     GOTO 0x32

  0034    0099     MOVWF 0x19
  0035    3006     MOVLW 0x6
  0036    0221     SUBWF 0x21, W
  0037    1D03     BTFSS 0x3, 0x2
  0038    282D     GOTO 0x2d


You should ask your question on the on the Microchip MPSIM forum:
http://forum.microchip.com/tt.aspx?forumid=18
Ask them what the simulator is doing.

Hi

Thanks for informing. There are no report or entry at Microchip's forum. Maybe there are small bug in the "cof" file?

You should ask Microchip about it, on their forum. MPSIM is their product.
They should support it. I am done with this thread.
