funky code startup
PostPosted: Tue Sep 23, 2008 8:22 am     Reply with quote

When I step through the following code the the beginning seems to be randomly jumping around. I think this is causing a problem because i always have to do a soft reset before the other software that i am using will connect to the pic. Is this a problem with the compiler or my code? I am using MPLAB IDE Version 8.14.00.00 with the CCS C compiler. any suggestions would be great

thanks!!

Here is the sequence of jumps of where the arrow stops when i step through the code in debugger mode.

bracket after void main()
a line in the sting.h file
Global variable declaration
Global variable declaration
Global variable declaration
SET_TRIS_C( 0x00 );
send_string( "1.01" );
a line in void toggle_led()
SET_TRIS_E( 0xFF );
from here it will sequentially step through the program


here is the code

Code:

#include <16F877A.H>

It is not 'randomly jumping around'. It is initialising the variables.
All 'static' variables, are initialised to zero, when the code starts (there is one in string.h). Then all global variables with initialisation values, are set to these values (you have several). Finally any local variables in main, with initialised values are set (you don't have any of these).
It doesn't really 'jump' (no physical 'jump' instructions), but the debugger display will move to each location involved as the variables are initialised.
This is not the problem.

A number of comments. If you want to use TRIS, then you need to set fast_io mode. Otherwise your TRIS statements are a waste of time, and likely to cause problems.
Enable the PUT fuse. NOPUT, is only reliable,if you have a very fast rising power rail, or an external MCLR circuit.
If RXF, stays low for more than 18mSec, you may well have a watchdog timeout in the loop checking this....
You have told the code to restart the watchdog in delays, then do it yourself as well in several places. Why?.

Best Wishes
