DSPIC33EP512GP502 -- PCD v5.115 Bootloader UART issue
PostPosted: Thu Jul 04, 2024 3:56 am     Reply with quote

Hi,

I'm using this bootloader code:

Code:

//#define ROM_WRITE_CAN_MODIFY_CONFIG_BITS
#include <33EP512GP502.h>
#FUSES NOPROTECT                                                              // Allow a Programmer device (eg. Pickit) to read Microcontroller firmware
#FUSES NOIOL1WAY                                                              // Used to enable peripheral deselection (useful to reduce power-consumption )

#use delay(internal=20MHz,clock_out)

#define UART_2_TX           PIN_B11                                              // DsPIC UART2 TX
#define UART_2_RX           PIN_B12                                              // DsPIC UART2 RX
#PIN_SELECT U2TX=UART_2_TX
#PIN_SELECT U2RX=UART_2_RX
#use rs232(uart2,baud=115200,PARITY=N, BITS=8, ERRORS, RECEIVE_BUFFER=100, stream=SPECTRUM)

#define _bootloader
#define BOOTLOADER_MODE2X
#define BOOTLOADER_STREAM SPECTRUM

#include <pcd_bootloader.h>
#include <loader_pcd.c>

#org APPLICATION_START
void jump_to_application(void)
{
   #asm
   GOTO APPLICATION_START
   #endasm
}


void main(void)
{
   char ans='0';
   do
   {
      ans=fgetc(SPECTRUM);
   }
   while(ans!='A'&&ans!='M'&&ans!='!');
   
   if(ans=='!')
   {
      delay_ms(140); // wait for PLL
      fputc('!',SPECTRUM);
      load_program();
   }
   else if(ans=='M')
   {
      fputc('M',SPECTRUM);
   }
   jump_to_application(); // Start Application
}

#int_default
void isr(void)
{
   jump_to_isr(LOADER_END+5);
}


In order to load this application:

I perform successfully hex file bootloader via uart (I checked in debug ACK and data flow and work fine) but I have a problem with UART when I reach this point:

Code:

output_high(LED_ONBOARD);
   while(!kbhit(SPECTRUM));
   THS_array[0]=fgetc(SPECTRUM);
   while(!kbhit(SPECTRUM));
   THS_array[1]=fgetc(SPECTRUM);
   while(!kbhit(SPECTRUM));
   THS_array[2]=fgetc(SPECTRUM);
   while(!kbhit(SPECTRUM));
   THS_array[3]=fgetc(SPECTRUM);
    while(!kbhit(SPECTRUM));
   THS_array[4]=fgetc(SPECTRUM);
    while(!kbhit(SPECTRUM));
   THS_array[5]=fgetc(SPECTRUM);
    while(!kbhit(SPECTRUM));
   THS_array[6]=fgetc(SPECTRUM);
    output_low(LED_ONBOARD);


The led turns on, I send the bytes but the application stops in the first while like UART is not working anymore...

FUSES are the same (I checked LST files of bootloader and application):

Code:

Configuration Fuses:
   Word  3L: FFCF   ICSP1 NOJTAG NODEBUG
          H: 0000 
   Word  4L: FFFF   NOALTI2C1 NOALTI2C2 WDTWIN_25%

The application also includes main.h:

#endif


Moreover the UART issue persists both I start application suddenly after a bootloader reflash and also when I reprogram, turn-off DSPIC, turn-on, enter directly in application avoiding bootloader branch...

I noted that 33EP512GP502.h file does not contain NOIOL1WAY and NOPROTECT fuses...

Code:

//////// Program memory: 175094x24  Data RAM: 49152  Stack: 31
//////// I/O: 21   Analog Pins: 6
//////// Fuses: ICSP3,ICSP2,ICSP1,JTAG,DEBUG,ALTI2C1,ALTI2C2,WDTWIN_75%

//////// Fuses: WPOSTS4,WPOSTS5,WPOSTS6,WPOSTS7,WPOSTS8,WPOSTS9,WPOSTS10
//////// Fuses: WPOSTS11,WPOSTS12,WPOSTS13,WPOSTS14,WPOSTS15,WPOSTS16

//////// Fuses: IOL1WAY,CKSFSM,CKSNOFSM,NOCKSNOFSM,FRC,FRC_PLL,PR,PR_PLL
//////// Fuses: LPRC,FRC_PS,IESO,WRT,PROTECT

Is it a problem ??

No. 'NO', means 'turn off this fuse'. So the NOIOL1WAY setting turns off
IOL1WAY fuse. Same for PROTECT. The listing shows this.

Check your stack usage at the top of the listing. You don't give any idea of
how large the program is, but having to expand the stack is normal on
any code where a lot of maths, or I/O is done. I'd suspect you are
overflowing the stack.

This is stack info from LST file:

Code:

CCS PCD C Compiler, Version 5.115, 84               03-lug-24 18:05

               Filename:   C:\Users\3Bee\MPLABXProjects\Hive_Tech_V1\build\default\production\main.lst

               ROM used:   6288 bytes (2%)
                           Largest free fragment is 65536
               RAM used:   13743 (28%) at main() level
                           13953 (28%) worst case
               Stack used: 82 locations (42 in main + 40 for interrupts)
               Stack size: 128


Is it a problem ? How can I fix this problem ?
I really need uart communication...

Regards,

Marco

Maybe I have to define LOADER_PAGES ??

Code:

////  Depending on the PIC the bootloader is being built for or if     ////
////  changes are made to the code the bootloader may not fit in the   ////
////  program memory set a side for it by default for this example.    ////
////  If that happens the size set aside for the bootloader can be     ////
////  changed by defining LOADER_PAGES to the number of erase pages    ////
////  to set aside for it before the pcd_bootloader.h is included,     ////
////  this define must be made in both the bootloader and application  ////
////  programs for the bootloader to work correctly.                   ////


How can I compute the correct value ?

Two parts.
First on the stack, expand this to at least 200 bytes. Say 256. Use #build
to set this. This is the main code.
On the bootloader size, build the bootloader. Then look at it's size. You need
to set it's pages used to the next page size over your size. Your bootloader
does not look much larger than standard, but it could be that it is going too
large.

So If I understood correctly:

Flash erase size 1024 instructions (in PCD 3072 bytes) info from datasheet.

bootloader hex file properties tells me size is 12.746 bytes.

so Loader_Pages = 12746/3072 = 4.15 -> LOADER_PAGES = 5

is it correct ? Have I to define loader_pages both in bootloader and application code ? Where ?

How can I enlarge stack using build ? could you provide me an example ?
Where Have I to put this directive ? Both application and bootloader ?

No. Look at the size at the top of the listing, not the hex file size. The latter
will be much bigger. That is huge for a bootloader. The standard PCD
bootloader compiles to just over 2Kbytes. ROM used figure.
You just define LOADER_PAGES before loading pcd_bootloader.h.
I'd suspect you will need 3 pages, so:
Code:

#define LOADER_PAGES 3
#include "pcd_bootloader.h"

I have:

Code:

CCS PCD C Compiler, Version 5.115, 84               04-lug-24 16:05

               Filename:   C:\Users\3Bee\MPLABXProjects\Hive_Tech_V1\build\default\production\main.lst

               ROM used:   2324 bytes (1%)
                           Largest free fragment is 65536
               RAM used:   4468 (9%) at main() level
                           4541 (9%) worst case
               Stack used: 80 locations (42 in main + 38 for interrupts)
               Stack size: 128


So LOADER_PAGES is ??


Code:


#define _bootloader
#define BOOTLOADER_MODE2X
#define BOOTLOADER_STREAM SPECTRUM
#define LOADER_PAGES 3
#include <pcd_bootloader.h>
#include <loader_pcd.c>



Is correct ??

Please, give me example in order to use #build and expand stack...
Do I need it only in application or also bootloader code ?

In application I have:

Code:

#use delay(internal=20MHz,clock_out)
#build(STACK=256)

// Fom lst:
Stack used: 82 locations (42 in main + 40 for interrupts)
Stack size: 256


I'm using LOADER_PAGES 5 (I also tried 3)....

The issue persists, UART2 seems blocked!!

You do realise that if you specify a receive buffer for the UART, you must
enable the receive interrupt for the UART (and GLOBAL)?. Won't work
otherwise.You don't show this in your init routine......

When I load the application without bootloader part it works fine...

Change the UART setup in the bootloader to:
Code:

#use rs232(uart2,baud=115200,PARITY=N, BITS=8, ERRORS, stream=SPECTRUM)


Having the buffer enabled here will completely b*884r things up. Having this
will create interrupt handler code in the bootloader. This will prevent the
bootloader's interrupt relocation code from working.

You had not said at any point that it was working without the bootloader...

OK.
I removed receive_buffer from bootloader part.

Can I keep it in application part ? Or could it be a problem ?
