| PIC18 Strange Clock Frequency. |

Hi.
I have a PIC18F87K90 mounted on a experimental board.
I'm using a 64MHz oscillator for the clock.
The oscilloscope says that the actual frequency is 64MHz, OK.
When I run my software with the debugger via ICD64, it reports 120,47MHz instead.
Is there something wrong?
| Code: |
#include <18F87K90.h>
#device ICD=TRUE
#device adc=10
#FUSES NOWDT //No Watch Dog Timer
#FUSES ECH_IO //External clock ,high power
#FUSES PUT //Power Up Timer
#FUSES NOBROWNOUT //No brownout reset
#FUSES WDT_NOSLEEP //Watch Dog Timer, disabled during SLEEP
#use delay(clock=64000000)
|
Compiler v. 4.124
Thank you! |

I did some further investigations.
I have a LED on the board.
with the | Code: | | #use delay(clock=64000000) |
the on/off timing of the led is half the time I set in the software.
If I set | Code: | | #use delay(clock=120000000) |
the LED is blinking correctly.
It seems to me that something is telling the PIC to go 120MHz instead of 64MHz altough the oscillator is providing a 64MHz clock. |

| Have you tried using a 16mhz oscillator in ec2 mode with the 4x PLL ?? |

It'll be difficult as the oscillator is a small SMD package and I don't have the 16MHz one.
Crazy. |

Have you actually tried what happens if you turn off debugging, and run it in the chip for real instead?.
I have a nasty suspicion there may be a problem with the ICD, rather than the code.
Add NOPLLEN to the fuses (just worth trying), and literally do a one second on, one second off LED flash, using no other hardware, program this into the chip and see if this works. If it does then the compiler is getting it right.

Solved!
The NOPLLEN fuse did it.
I thought that a PIC configured with the external oscillator (via fuse), should have the PLL disabled by default.
Now the degugger is giving 64.00MHz and the on/off time of the led is correct.
Thank you all! |
