USART to SPI Bridge issues
PostPosted: Thu Mar 18, 2021 6:30 pm     Reply with quote

Hello everybody hopefully you guys doing alright. I'm trying to realize a UART to SPI Bridge but unfortunately my code failed. The thing is UART and SPI work great separately but when to combine them does not work
I'm using ccs c compiler version 4.068.
UART works good but when i uncomment the line #use SPI(SPI1....)
UART does not receive anymore.
Hopefully i can find some help and hopefully this topic will be helpful for people with same project.
Here is my code:
Code:

#use SPI (SPI1, DO = PIN_C5, DI = PIN_C4, CLK = PIN_C3, BITS = 8, Mode = 0)

//-------------MCP23S17 DEFINES--------------//

#define SPI_DUMMY_DATA 0x00
#define SPI_RX_IN_PROGRESS 0x00

void SPI_Initialize(void)
{
// Set the SPI module to the options selected in the User Interface

// R_nW write_noTX; P stopbit_notdetected; S startbit_notdetected;
//BF RCinprocess_TXcomplete; SMP Middle; UA dontupdate; CKE Active to Idle;
//D_nA lastbyte_address;
SSPSTAT = 0x40;

// SSPEN enabled; WCOL no_collision; CKP Idle:Low, Active:High; SSPM FOSC/64; SSPOV no_overflow;
SSPCON = 0x00;
delay_ms(10);
SSPCON = 0x20;

SSPEN = true; //spi mode

// SSPADD 0;
SSPADD = 0x00;
}

int SPI_Exchange8bit(int data)
{

WCOL = 0; // Clear the Write Collision flag, to allow writing
SSPBUF = data;

while(BF == SPI_RX_IN_PROGRESS)
  {
   WDTEN = 0x00; //disable watchdog and clears it
  }
return (SSPBUF);
}

int SPI_Exchange8bitBuffer(int *dataIn, int bufLen, int *dataOut)
{
int bytesWritten = 0;

if(bufLen != 0)
  {
   if(dataIn != '\0')
     {
      while(bytesWritten < bufLen)
        {
         if(dataOut == '\0')
           {
            SPI_Exchange8bit(dataIn[bytesWritten]);
           }
         else
           {
            dataOut[bytesWritten] = SPI_Exchange8bit(dataIn[bytesWritten]);
           }

         bytesWritten++;
         WDTEN = 0x00; //disable watchdog and clears it
        }
     }
   else
    {
     if(dataOut != '\0')
       {
        while(bytesWritten < bufLen )
          {
           dataOut[bytesWritten] = SPI_Exchange8bit(SPI_DUMMY_DATA);//*****************

           bytesWritten++;
           WDTEN = 0x00; //disable watchdog and clears it
          }
       }
     }
  }

return bytesWritten;
}

You should include the chip setup lines. The #include, clock settings etc..
Without knowing the chip and how it is configured we can't help.
However your 'SPI_Initialise' is over-riding the #USE SPI setup.

Thanks for your time. Here are the fuses and device:
Code:

#include <16F876.h>
#device adc=8

#FUSES NOWDT                    //No Watch Dog Timer
#FUSES XT                       //Crystal osc <= 4mhz for PCM/PCH , 3mhz to 10 mhz for PCD
#FUSES NOPUT                    //No Power Up Timer
#FUSES NOPROTECT                //Code not protected from reading
#FUSES NOBROWNOUT               //No brownout reset
#FUSES NOLVP                    //No low voltage prgming, B3(PIC16) or B5(PIC18) used for I/O
#FUSES NOCPD                    //No EE protection
#FUSES NOWRT                    //Program memory not write protected
#FUSES NODEBUG                  //No Debug mode for ICD

#use delay(clock=4000000)
#use rs232(baud=9600,parity=N,xmit=PIN_C6,rcv=PIN_C7,bits=8)

You need to add ERRORS to your rs232 options.

here i modify these following two lines:
Code:

#use rs232(baud=9600,parity=N,xmit=PIN_C6,rcv=PIN_C7,bits=8, ERRORS)
#use SPI (SPI1, FORCE_HW, MASTER, baud = 100000, DO = PIN_C5, DI = PIN_C4 , CLK = PIN_C3, LSB_FIRST, BITS = 8, Mode = 0)


and still not working. now uart and spi are not working together at the same time, i m thinking about dynamically disabling spi while uart is reading incoming chars and after mystring is full i ll disable uart and enable spi so that i can transfer content of mystring to mcp23s17 porta or portb...i ll be using #ifdef and #ifndef.....

UART and SPI Bridge issues
PostPosted: Fri Mar 19, 2021 8:51 pm     Reply with quote

Code:

#use rs232(baud=9600,parity=N,xmit=PIN_C6,rcv=PIN_C7,bits=8, ERRORS)
#use SPI (SPI1, FORCE_HW, MASTER, baud = 9600, DO = PIN_C5, DI = PIN_C4 , CLK = PIN_C3, LSB_FIRST, BITS = 8, Mode = 0)

still not working.
next i ll disable spi while uart is used and then do the opposit use spi and disable uart....we ll see

You have code here, that you have presumably copied from somewhere.
Now this code is doing all the SPI peripheral setup itself. It is not
designed for use with a #use spi statement.
You have some choices:
If your chip is the same as the chip for which this was written, then
use this code as it is without any #use spi.
If your chip is different, then you are going to have to go through the
data sheet for any differences in the SPI peripheral, and change the
values loaded to the registers to accommodate these changes.
Or you can simply use #use spi, and get rid of the original code.
All the initialisation code disappears, since #use spi does this. However
you are going to have to make the settings for this be for the correct
SPI mode.
Then for example SPI_Exchange8bit, is exactly the same as simply
using val=spi_xfer(sendval);

Beware that #use spi defaults to setting the fastest clock rate. You are
not specifying clock rate in your setup, and the hardware settings are
for using /64, so enormously slower than the clock rate #use spi
will be selecting.

Trying to mix #use spi with old code not designed for it, is not likely
to ever work.

Hello, hopefully everyone is okay, recently i had an issue with this little project UART SPI BRIDGE so my receive interruption stops each time i m using #SPI(xxx)...well no i have it working to day so hopefully will inspire eveyone that working on the same topic and big thanks for the people that want to give me a hand on that.....here is the code:

Not using 'USE SPI, does not imply software SPI. The code you originally
posted, is setting up the SPI peripheral.
