| i2c force_hw won't work |
 Posted: Fri Oct 08, 2010 7:18 am |

I've write this dummy program, to test the i2c speed.
If I set the #use i2c(... FORCE_HW) it won't work. If I delete the FORCE_HW statement, it works (about 300khz).
The source is:
| Code: |
#include <main.h>
#include <18F8722.h>
#use delay(clock=32000000)
#use i2c(Master,Fast=400000,sda=PIN_C4,scl=PIN_C3, force_hw)
void main()
{
setup_oscillator(osc_32mhz);
while(1)
{
output_bit(PIN_D3,1);
i2c_write(0b01010101);
output_bit(PIN_D3,0);
}
} |
the problem is here (line 00012)
| Code: | 00000: GOTO 0022
.................... #use i2c(Master,Fast=400000,sda=PIN_C4,scl=PIN_C3, force_hw)

bit F9E.3 is 0 and the BTFSS will not jump the BRA function.
I'm using PCWHD 4.104
Thanks. |

| Do you have 4.7K pull-up resistors installed on the i2c bus ? You need them. |

Have you configured the two port pins as INPUTS? This may not be intuitive, but I seem to recall it is mentioned as a requirement in some of the POC data sheets.
Can you post the code generated by the option thta you say works?
I am currently trying to get I2C working on a PIC18F25K22 and failing - with or without FORCE_HW!

I've got the pull-up resistor (2K2). I'm setting pin C3 and C4 as input | Code: | 00034: BSF F94.3
00036: BSF F94.4 |
If I recompile with the force_sw statement it work. |

Start by setting up a proper I2C transaction. You cannot 'write' a byte, without first sending a start. I suspect the software is allowing this, but the hardware won't. The SSPIF, (F9E.3), only gets set, once the hardware has sent the byte. Try sending a start, the byte, then a stop. This should allow the hardware to work.

What's the testing environment ? Is this Proteus or a real board ? |

Have you actually tried sending a start first, as I suggested?.
The 'point', is that the hardware I2C, has different 'modes' of operation. It _won't_ clock out a byte, and generate the interrupt, if it is in 'idle' mode. It is in idle mode, till you send a start. Hence what you are trying to do, will cause the code to hang, as you describe.

I still say that the SCL line is either missing the pull-up or it's being held
at a Ground level. That will cause the code to lockup in the polling loop
for the SSPIF bit in PIR1, while waiting for that bit to go high. |

Yes. The hardware will test for this, while the software version won't. You can 'get away' with things using software approaches, which hardware won't let you do.

It may be a result of missing start condition, though. If the problem persists after performing a correct I2C transaction, it's time to review the hardware. |

Hi
Have you got anywhere with this? As I posted earlier, I have a very similar issue with a PIC18F25K22 part (compiler version 4.112), although I have not yet tried taking out the FORCE_HW in #use i2c ( ..).
What I have is a small test routine that works if I compile for an 18F252 (at 10Mhz xtal, PLL to give 40Mhz clock), and does NOT work if I compile for the 18F25K22. It is as if there is no actual I2c clock, as I cannot even see the start bit generation, and then I hang once I've written to the SSP1BUF (at 0xFC9).
I shall start a new thread and post my findings - I am currently looking through the differences in the two list files from my good/bad compilations. Needless to say, at first glance, all the i2c stuff looks to be the same, just at slightly difference addresses.

Which code you are referring to? In the present thread, we have yet seen only an example of incorrect I2C usage (missing start/stop), which is supposed to fail. If you have problems also with correct I2C usage, that suggests a compiler bug, please show the respective code. |

My basic problem with the 18F25K22 part is now resolved - see the new thread I started. Turns out it related to port C pins defaulting to analog inputs and this not being set correctly by the complier when you requested I2C functionality.
I have taken a quick look at the data sheet mentioned at the beginning of this post, but sadly don't think the same applies in this instance...
