ICD_U40??
PostPosted: Wed Feb 08, 2006 5:16 am     Reply with quote
This is just a note;
I had a problem not with programming or even the code I was doing, for what ever reasion, the Micro was not getting programmed correctly. Confused

I found that My PC had glitched internaly, Every was working OK, even the ICD_U40 was operating correctly with programming, just not able to program the micro corectly, (reboot the PC and every thing is now OK) Rolling Eyes

I was almost going to post this as a posible fault/bug?? a little bit of fault finding and all OK Wink

It happened again Sad and I found that it is related to the WDT, switch it off, works OK, switch it on again (Fault), it appears that the WDT is resetting to soon, I have the WDT set to 1:128 (2304ms) I am using timer 0 to reset the WDT and pole a CPU led at 1/2 sec intervals
Code:
/***********************************************************
*    Timer 0 (RTCC) output, CPU led, Reset WDT             *
***********************************************************/
#int_RTCC
RTCC_isr()
{
  CPUled++;             // Increment value of cnt on every interrupt
  if (CPUled == 240) {
      output_toggle(CPU_led);
      CPUled = 0;
      restart_wdt();
      }
}

Code:
void Inilize()
{
   setup_adc_ports(NO_ANALOGS|VSS_VDD);
   setup_adc(ADC_OFF|ADC_TAD_MUL_0);
   setup_wdt(WDT_ON);
   setup_timer_0(RTCC_INTERNAL|RTCC_DIV_16|RTCC_8_bit);
   setup_timer_1(T1_DISABLED);
   setup_timer_2(T2_DISABLED,0,1);
   setup_timer_3(T3_DISABLED|T3_DIV_BY_1);
   enable_interrupts(INT_RDA);
   enable_interrupts(INT_RTCC);
   enable_interrupts(GLOBAL);
   setup_oscillator(OSC_8MHZ|OSC_INTRC);
}

Code:
#FUSES WDT                    //Watch Dog Timer
#FUSES WDT128                   //Watch Dog Timer uses 1:128 Postscale
#FUSES INTRC_IO                 //Internal RC Osc, no CLKOUT


This only happens twice to 2 x boards. Confused After doing some code manipulation, I got it to work OK, however when I put the original Code in that had this problem, It all works OK unable to refault. the micro is the 18F1320 and had been erased prior.

Should i have restart_wdt(); in the main program or is it OK where it is.

Don't use restart_wdt() in a timer int

Sounds to me like a really bad idea to restart the WDT in a timer interrupt. One of the reasons for having a WDT is to come back if you get stuck in some bad code somewhere in your application.

If you restart the WDT in a timer intrerrupt, I se no reason at all to have WDT enabled.
