External parallel ram problem
PostPosted: Tue Aug 24, 2010 4:01 am     Reply with quote

Hi all
It was long time for me, but finally I am back with new project full of mistakes Smile and need your help friends.

I am using 128k external parallel ram (AS6C1008) with 18f8722. The problem that I have problem with reading and writing to the ram, it works sometimes and does not alot. I think I have mistake in hardware maybe ! or a software bug because I am new to CCS .

The routines that I use for RAM :
Code:

 ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
byte   ram_read_high(int16 address )
{
 
 int8 value;
 byte data ;
 output_h(0xd0);    //  0110  ce , ce2 , we, oe disable ram
 output_high(pin_g0);     // A16=0 ///
 output_high(pin_j2);
 output_low(pin_g3);     // enable latch to ram ///oelram of 74hc573
 
 value = make8(address,0);   // low byte
 trise=0;
 trisd=0;
 
 late=value;
 //output_e(value);
 
 value = make8(address,1);  // high byte
 latd=value;
 //output_d(value);
 output_h(0x60);    //  0110  ce , ce2 , we, oe  enable ram
 
 
 output_high(pin_g3);     // disable latch to ram ///oelram of 74hc573
 trise=0xff;
 data=porte;
 
 //data=input_e();
 
 output_h(0xd0);    //  0110  ce , ce2 , we, oe disable ram
 output_low(pin_g0);     // A16=0 ///
 output_low(pin_j2);
 return  (data);
 
 } 
 
 
void   ram_write_high(int16 address , byte data)
{
 
 int8 value , test,counter;
 counter=0;
start_write:
 
  output_h(0xd0);    //  0110  ce , ce2 , we, oe disable ram
 output_high(pin_g0);     // A16=0 ///
 output_high(pin_j2);
 
 
 value = make8(address,0);   // low byte
 trise=0;
 trisd=0;
 
 late=value;
 //output_e(value);
 
 value = make8(address,1);  // high byte
 latd=value;
 //output_d(value);
 
 output_low(pin_g3);     // enable latch to ram ///oelram of 74hc573
 //#asm
 //nop
 
 //#endasm
 output_h(0x10);    //  0100  ce , ce2 , we, oe  enable ram
 //#asm
 //nop
 
 //#endasm
 output_h(0x20);    //  0100  ce , ce2 , we, oe  enable ram
 
 
 output_high(pin_g3);     // disable latch to ram ///oelram of 74hc573
 
 late=data;
 //output_e(data);
 
 
 
 output_h(0xd0);    //  0110  ce , ce2 , we, oe disable ram
 
 output_low(pin_g0);     // A16=0 ///
 output_low(pin_j2);
}

I would like to upload the schematic but I could not find an option to do that.
I wish someone guide me to solve the ram issue and thanks in advanced.

The 18F8722 has built-in hardware support for an external parallel ram.
You should study how to do it that way.

From the 18F8722 data sheet:
Quote:

7.0 EXTERNAL MEMORY BUS
The External Memory Bus (EMB) allows the device to
access external memory devices (such as Flash,
EPROM, SRAM, etc.) as program or data memory. It
supports both 8-bit and 16-bit Data Width modes and
four address widths from 8 to 20 bits.
Note: The External Memory Bus is not imple-mented
on PIC18F6527/6622/6627/6722
(64-pin) devices.

7.2.1 21-BIT ADDRESSING
As an extension of 20-bit address width operation, the
External Memory Bus can also fully address a 2 Mbyte
memory space.

Thank you.
It is ok now, there was problem in the address.
I could not use the hardware one because I am using the ports for other issue. Software one save pin for me. However its ok now.
