| DSPIC33FJ PCD Bootloader help and direction |
 Posted: Fri Dec 01, 2017 6:51 pm |

I have spent enough time fighting with this and realize that I really need some help. 
First I am using PCWHD IDE and PCD Version 5.075
Target is a DSPIC dsPIC33FJ128GP306A
Here is the goal.
I would like a standalone bootloader that I can program into the chip. I want it to live in the Boot Segment Access Area of the chip. According to the data sheet I have set the fuses like this in the example bootloader.c.
Eventually I would like to write protect this bootloader but for now I'll be happy if I can get everything in the right place. I am not using the push button and have basically commented out the loader section. For now I am just trying to see an RS32 response from the bootloader and then the main program.
| Code: |
//The setup for 6 different chips, one from each of these chip families,
//is listed below.
#define DSPIC33FJ
//#define DSPIC30F
//#define PIC24FJ
//#define PIC24FJ_REV2
//#define PIC24HJ
//#define PIC24EP
#if defined(DSPIC33FJ)
#include <33FJ128GP306A.h>
#FUSES NOWDT //No Watch Dog Timer
#FUSES BSSSL //Boot Segment Code Protect Standard Security, Large Boot Segment
#FUSES RBS1024 //Boot RAM is 1024 bytes
#use delay(clock=22110000, internal) // works with baud
#use rs232(UART2, baud=115200, errors, stream=COM_PORT) // works at internal=40MHZ and xtal=22118400 and internal=2211000 w/o BRGH1OK)
#define PUSH_BUTTON PIN_B2
#elif defined(DSPIC30F)
#include <30F4012.h>
#fuses NOWDT
#use delay(crystal=20M)

#define PUSH_BUTTON PIN_C3

//#define BOOTLOADER_MODE2X
#include <pcd_bootloader.h>
#include <loader_pcd.c>
#org APPLICATION_START
void application(void)
{
while(TRUE);
}
void main(void)
{
printf("\r\nBootLoader Version 1.0\r\n");
//! if(!input(PUSH_BUTTON))
//! {
//! delay_ms(140); // wait for PLL
//!
//! printf("\r\nBootloader Version 1.0\r\n");
//!
//! // Let the user know it is ready to accept a download
//! printf("\r\nWaiting for download...");
//!
//! // Load the program
//! load_program();
//! }
//!
application();
}
#int_default
void isr(void)
{
jump_to_isr(LOADER_END+5);
} |
I also include the standard the pcd_bootloader.h and flash it to the chip and it works. I can see output from the Serial Port etc... I really can't try to actually bootload until I replace the loader_pcd.c on the hardware I am using the RS232 is not standard protocol, using FTDI D2xx library but still I have working code for that later, for now on with the show.
So now I make a new build file for the payload application as a test.
| Code: |
#define DSPIC33FJ
#if defined(DSPIC33FJ)
#include <33FJ128GP306A.h>
#Fuses NONE
#use delay(clock=22110000, internal) // works with baud
#use rs232(UART2, baud=115200, errors, stream=COM_PORT) // works at internal=40MHZ and xtal=22118400 and internal=2211000 w/o BRGH1OK)
#define PUSH_BUTTON PIN_B2
#endif
//#define BOOTLOADER_MODE2X
//This is a necessary include file. It reserves space so that the
//bootloader is not overwritten.
//#include <pcd_bootloader.h>
// START OF bootloader definition
// According to data sheet Boot Segment ends at 0x003FFF with the Fuse settings I selected
#define LOADER_END 0x003FFF
#build(reset=LOADER_END+2, interrupt=LOADER_END+6)
#org 0, LOADER_END {} // nothing will replace the bootloader memory space
// END OF bootloader definition
// Variable definitions, interrupt service routines, main, etc. below here
rom char version[] = "Application Version 1.0";
void main()
{
delay_ms(100);
printf("\r\n%s\r\n", version);
printf("You can put whatever code you want here.\r\n");
printf("So enjoy!\r\n");
while(TRUE)
{
}
}

Notice I have commented out the pcd_bootloader.h and just added my own build and org lines. Hopefully this is OK.
So, problems / questions. I can not seem to test this. My plan was to use the programmer erase and flash the bootloader and then flash the application on top of that, sort of merge them together as they would be if properly bootloaded. However the programmer PICKIT3 and MPLABX IPE don't seem to want to let that fly. Bootloader is fine but if I don't erase the part entirely the application fails to program. Ideally I can develop the main application somehow without having to actually bootload each time.
The other part of this is I do not understand the pcd_bootlader.h at all. Seems like I really could just build the bootloader normally since it lives right after the Reset/Interrupt Vector Space and then use the build and org commands for my main app.
Also do I need to define fuses in both the bootloader and the main app?
Also do I really need to be moving the interrupt vectors around if I am not using them for the bootload process?
Also would the bootload option for #Build be advisable in this situation?
To Summarize:
Ideally Bootloader lives in protected space from Reset Vector to 0x003FF.
Bootloader loads every time, looks for PC communication if does not get it, then times out and passes it over to main app.
Main App never knows bootloader exists.
It would be nice if there was some way to work on main app without having to bootload every time, not sure how to accomplish this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
its taking me a long while to get to this point and while I feel like I am close, I still feel very far away from the goal...
thanks
Eric

See Ttelmah's answer in this thread, about how to create a combined
Hex file of the bootloader and the application:

Thanks PCM programmer for that!!!
I will give it a go and see if I can get it working.
Any comments on the other parts of this mystery are more than welcome... |

The normal way to not have the bootloader wait, is to use a jumper. That is why it is there.
However you can do the same thing with the RS232.
Depending on the hardware used, if you design it so that you see 'break' (RS232 input low to the PIC), when the cable is disconnected, all the bootloader needs to do is check if the line is high. If it isn't jump straight to the main code. |

Thanks to Ttelmah and PCM programmer for responding to my previous post.
I almost have everything working at this point.
I am programming the bootloader with the programmer as and bootloading the main app for now just to keep confusion down for now and to keep testing and working with my PC application.
The decision to go into bootloader mode is being made by an RS232 timeout. If the bootloader does not receive its bootloader character soon after a reboot then it jumps to the main app. This all works great. I have an FTDI running in D2XX library mode and one of its pins can turn the power supply on and off to the DSPIC so... I can reboot the DSPIC with my PC side bootloader application send the character and bing, into bootloader mode. My PC app also can send the main app very quickly now and its almost a treat to use over the programmer.
Only two more questions remain. How can I tell where the Interrupt vectors are being moved and if they are in the right place? Can I see this in the list file somehow or can I decode it from the HEX file? All my interrupts are working fine, I just want to know how to ease any doubt and convince myself that all is well. I think the line that moves the vectors is, jump_to_isr(LOADER_END+5); Is this correct for my part, 33FJ128GP306A?
I would also like to turn on the code config protection bits that make it so the bootloader can not be written over. I am setting fuses in the bootloader code and using #FUSES NONE in the main application.
The fuses would be something like this
#FUSES BSSSL //Boot Segment Code Protect Standard Security, Large Boot Segment
#FUSES RBS128 //Boot RAM is 128 bytes
My question is how can I tell how big this bootloader block is? I know its done by pages but I can not quite decipher it. Not sure how to correlate this with the datasheet but some help would be appreciated. I can decode the HEX file at this point but the overall addressing of the DSPIC is still a little daunting. I have to choose small, medium or large and I think they break on pages??? I also don't want to screw up the addressing already being done by the bootloader.h file or change it if I don't have to. I am using stock pcd example bootloader.h and its all working well, if the vectors are right that is...
The bootloader reports these variable settings when I print them out as a test.
LOADER_END = 07FF
APPLICATION_START = 0800
APPLICATION_END = 15BFF
Thanks for any more help,
Eric
PS I have convinced myself that there is no need to erase the entire program memory space before bootloading each time. If I bootload a large app and then bootload a small one remnants of the first older one remain in memory. I assume this will not cause a problem and so far has not but it worries me a little. Is this a safe approach ;)
Here is the bootloader as it stands now...
| Code: | #include <33FJ128GP306A.h>
//Define Fuses Here Not in Main Application Program
#FUSES NOWDT //No Watch Dog Timer
//#FUSES BSSSL //Boot Segment Code Protect Standard Security, Large Boot Segment
//#FUSES RBS1024 //Boot RAM is 1024 bytes
#use delay(clock=22110000, internal) // works with baud
#use rs232(UART2, baud=115200, stream=COM_PORT, ERRORS) // works at internal=40MHZ and xtal=22118400 and internal=2211000 w/o BRGH1OK)
//Tells the compiler this is the bootloader
#define _bootloader
#include <pcd_bootloader.h>
#include <loader_pcd.c> //Custom Loader Routine for this DSPIC and D2XX
#org APPLICATION_START
void application(void)
{
while(TRUE);
}
int inchar = 0;
void main(void)
{
//Signal that we are in the bootloader
fprintf(COM_PORT, "B\r\n");
//Now wait a short time for command
int16 delay_ctr;
for (delay_ctr=0;delay_ctr<5000;delay_ctr++)
{
if (kbhit(COM_PORT))
{
//Now there _is_ a character so you can call getc
inchar = fgetc(COM_PORT);
}
else
delay_us(10);
}
//Check the character if you got one
if(inchar == 'U')
{
// Enter upload program mode
// Load the program
load_program();
//spin here forevers
while (1){}
}
else
{
//Run the application...
application();
}
}
#int_default
void isr(void)
{
jump_to_isr(LOADER_END+5);

Select 'symbolic' in the build options, and compile the bootloader.
Then just look at the start of the assembler listing.
You'll find the table of vectors and where they all point.
You'll find that all the vectors, have been 're-targetted'. Assuming the #build is at 'LOADER_END+1', four locations above the start of the build range.
The 'jump to ISR' function is much overloaded. The original version did 'what it said', and was a simple long jump. Then with the PIC 18's, it was modified and generated two jumps. putting one at the location for high priority interrupts, and the second at the location for standard interrupts. On the PIC24/30/33, it instead loads the entire interrupt vector table, with the specified offset. |

I am sorry.
I should have included the #BUILD line for the included header file.
| Code: | | #build (reset=APPLICATION_START,interrupt=APPLICATION_ISR_START) |
| Code: | | #define APPLICATION_START 0 |
| Code: | | #define APPLICATION_ISR_START (LOADER_END + 5) |
I have not changed anything in the include file that came with the PCD example.
I am going to to see if I can select 'symbolic' in the compiler options. I am using the IDE. |

Options
Project
Output Files
List file
Tick SFR Names, Symbols, Interpret
You'll find the listing file is quite nicely documented once you re-compile. |

Alright just saw the suggestion above...
I guess you posted while I was typing ;)
let me try what you suggest for compiler options...
(Removed this text to avoid confusion for future reader)

AWESOME!!!
I see it now. Thanks! Thats a cool trick.
So is this telling me where they are being moved like.
00006 is the OSCFAIL ISR and its getting moved to 000808?
My main app list file is starting at...
| Code: | 00800: GOTO 1EDE :
*
00830: GOTO BDA :
*
00840: GOTO C30 :
*
0089C: GOTO C80 :
008A0: GOTO D3C : |
and the first few lines show...
| Code: | 00A0A: MOV W5,[W15++] : Push W5 to TOS
00A0C: MOV #C,W5 : W5 = C
00A0E: REPEAT #3 : Repeat next instruction (3 + 1) times
00A10: MOV [W5++],[W15++] : Push [W5++] to TOS
00A12: MOV #0,W9 : W9 = 0
00A14: BTSC.B 43.0 : Skip if SR.DC = 0
00A16: MOV #1,W9 : W9 = 1
00A18: MOV W9,[W15++] : Push W9 to TOS |
again I do not see any of the Interrupt Vectors being moved in the main list file which I am sure is correct.
I still wonder how to tell if I have overlap and if main is really able to see the vector space correctly?
When I read the device with the programmer after bootloading I can see my main app starting at 000800 and I can see the GOTOs from the list file like 1EDE they are in the right spot. For the life of me I do not see the ISRs unless they are FFFFFs and just in between. Shouldn't they show up at 000808.
It seems like there is some overlap like 000830 has a goto defined but is also the remapped location for the interrupt Timer1. Or is this just the way it shows up if I am using timer 1?
Thanks so much for your help, it would be nice to really feel like I understand this. |

Ok I can see the interrupt vectors being mapped in now at the top of program memory when I look at the Memory View from the programmer. They are starting at 00002 and have the remapped values from the list file. Hopefully I am good on vectors but still not quite positive 
I am still trying to figure out code config, but it looks like according to the data sheet and http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/70199B.pdf
For standard protection small size looks like the bootloader segment is defined as:
Standard Small 0x000200 0x0007FE
This seems to mesh very well with the way my bootloader is set up. It seems to be starting at 0000200 and the main code starts 000800.
Seems like all I have to do to protect it is turn on these fuses...
| Code: | #FUSES WRTB //Boot block write protected
#FUSES BSSSS //Boot Segment Code Protect Standard Security, Small Boot Segment
#FUSES NORBS //No Boot RAM defined |
We shall see...
Thanks again for all the help |

Well those fuse settings appear to work!!!
I can not read the bootloader area after programming, just get zeros for that section.
Bootloading still works and after bootloading and reading with the programmer I can see the main code that I bootloaded and the boot bootloader segment is still read as zeroes.
The zero section matches my bootloader size EXACTLY!
So, I think I am home free on the code config protection front.
If anyone still feels like humoring me with more info on the Reset Vectors I am all ears.
Or if you spot anything else I may be doing wrong from the above please chime in.
Thanks again all for all your time...
