This project aims to provide the development tools for building a [[Multi-purpose_Embedded_System | multi-purpose MCU board]]. Description is based on Microchip dsPic33FJ256GP506 (was dsPic30F5011), but information provided in this wiki may give useful directions for developing similar embedded systems with different platforms.

==Bootloader==
 
−
 
 
−
===Concepts===
 
−
*Programming with ICSP is useful when the target board is produced in batch. The producer can download a program even when the chip is on the target board.
 
−
*However, ICSP requires an external programmer.
 
−
*To allow the user to change the program after production but without the need of an external programmer, bootloader becomes useful.
 
−
*Bootloader is a small program installed via ICSP. Everytime the device is reset, the bootloader is run first. The bootloader first detects the default serial channel whether the user wishes to download a new program to the device. If so, the bootloader will pause there, and wait for the user to download the hex file from the PC. The hex file is written to the device via RTSP instructions in the bootloader. If a new download is not necessary, the bootloader redirects to the previously installed user's program.
 
−
*The disadvantage of bootloaders is that they consume some of the memory of the device.

Programming Methods

  • There are 2 programming methods: In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP) and Run-Time Self-Programming (RTSP)
  • ICSP allows the devices to be programmed after being placed in a circuit board.
  • RTSP allows the devices to be programmed when an embedded program is already in operation.

ICSP: External Programmer (ICD2)

  • Two types of ICSP are available: ICSP and Enhanced ICSP. Both of them require setting MCLR# to VIHH (9V – 13.25V).
  • Standard ICSP
    • Use external programmer (e.g. MPLAB® ICD 2, MPLAB® PM3 or PRO MATE® II) only.
    • Required low-level programming to erase, program and verify the chip.
    • Slower, because codes are serially executed.
  • Enhanced ICSP
    • Use external programmer and Programming Executive (PE).
    • PE is stored in the on-chip memory.
    • PE allows faster programming.
    • PE can be downloaded to the chip by external programmer using the standard ICSP method.
    • PE contains a small command set to erase, program and verify the chip, avoiding the need of low-level programming.

Software Interface

  • The program can be written and compiled in an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) using either Assembly or C. The complied codes are then loaded to the device through the external programmer.
Summary of IDE
Product Name Features OS Price (US$)
MPLAB® IDE Assembler Only Windows Free
MPLAB® C30 Assembler and C-Compiler Windows $895.00 (Free student version1)
Piklab Assembler and C-Compiler Linux Free
  1. Full-featured for the first 60 days. After 60 days, some code optimization functions are disabled. The compiler will continue to function after 60 days, but code size may increase.

RTSP: COM Port (Bootloader)

  • RTSP works in normal voltage (MCLR# no need to raise to VIHH).
  • No literature has mentioned the incorporation of Programming Executive (PE). Presumably, since Enhanced ICSP needs to set MCLR# to VIHH, RTSP cannot use PE.
  • Refer to bootloader section.
