| PIC24EP512GU814 write_program_memory issue |
 Posted: Wed Sep 16, 2015 3:38 pm |

I am currently trying to get a bootloader to work with the 24EP514GU814. The bootloader is working other than at certain addresses the write_program_memory function will not write the data.
I put the bootloader at address 0x40000 (#org 0x40000 default).
The main code will start at address 0x200 (#org default)
When bootloading, starting at address 0x220, some of the values are not being written to program memory.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Communication via e-mail would be the quickest way for me to respond.

You do realise how the flash pages work on these chip?.
You can't write to an address like 0x200 and put new data there replacing the old.
The erase page on this chip is 3072 bytes (1K instructions). To write something to the middle of a page, you have to read the entire page, change the bytes you want, then write the whole page back. The write_program_memory function, will erase the page, if you write to the first address in the page, _but not otherwise_.
It'll do a write of a small part like you are using, _if you erase the page first_.
You have to get your head into the page based layout of the flash memory. Load lines from your file, till you have a complete page, or have finished the file, and then write the whole page. |

| I will give that a try. I'm used to working with the 18F6722 where I can write one address at a time. |

You can still write just one instruction at a time (instruction, not byte), but only to a page that has already been erased (or to a location whose value happens to be such that all bits that you need erased in the 'result', are already erased).
There is also a block write that writes 128 instructions (384 bytes), taking the same time as a single write.
Remember also that the memory is organised as:
| Code: |
B B B x
B B B x
B B B x
|
So the '128 instructions', above, corresponds to 512 bytes sent to the write_program_memory function, with every fourth byte 'missing'. The erase page is also on each 4096byte boundary in the address range. So 0x00000, 0x01000, 0x02000 etc...
The 6722, also erases in pages, but only of 64 bytes at a time, and doesn't have the gaps.... |
