====Propagration Delay====
 
−
*PWM channels sharing the same timer will have their PWM signals synchronised (i.e. the HIGH state of the duty cycle are all triggered together).
 
−
*To introduced delay to the PWM signals, the signal from selected channels may be made to pass through a series of inverters (e.g. 74HC14D). This adds propagation delay to the signal.
 
−
*However, as propagration delay of logic gates depends on applied voltage, temperature and load capacitance, the accuracy is low and performance is poor. For accurate delay, delay lines may be used, but they are expensive.

*40-bit Accumulator operations (9.31 data format)
 
−
**The dsp functions use the 40 bits accumalators during arithmatic calculations.
 
−
**Bit<39:31> are signed bits, positive = 0x000, negative = 0x1FF.
 
−
**Bit<30:0> are exponent bits.
 
−
*IEEE Floating Point Values
 
−
**Fractional values can be converted to Floating point values using: '''fo = Fract2Float(fr);''' for fr = [-1, 1-2<sup>-15</sup>]
 
−
**Floating point values can be converted to Fractional values using: '''fr = Float2Fract(fo);''' or '''fr = Q15(fo);''' for fo = [-1, 1-2<sup>-15</sup>]
 
−
**Float2Fract() is same as Q15(), except having saturation control. When +ve >= 1, answer = 2<sup>15</sup>-1 = 32767 (0x7FFF). When -ve < -1, answer = -2<sup>15</sup> = -32767 (0x8000)

===Build-in Library===
 
−
 
 
−
----
 
−
*Some assembler operators can only be accessed by inline assembly code, for example,
 
−
#Manuipulation of accumulators A and B (add, sub, mul, divide, shift, clear, square)
 
−
#Bit toggling
 
−
#Access to psv (program space visiblity) page and offset
 
−
#Access to table instruction page and offset
 
−
*Built-in functions are written as C-like function calls to utilize these assembler operators.

==Bootloader Development==
 
−
 
 
−
===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.

−
*The bootloader (hereafter called dsPicBootloader) employs the following settings:
 
−
# Use U2ART channel
 
−
# Use FRC, PLL16
 
−
# For 5011, the bootloader is located between 0x00AE00 to 0x00AFFE (512bytes). Refer to C:\Program Files\Ingenia\ingeniadsPICbootloader\ibl_dspiclist.xml after installing the GUI interface.

===dsPicProgrammer (Java-based Multi-Platformed)===
 
−
*Ingenia developed a programmer (PC-side) that works only in Windows environment. The project for Linux environment is currently suspended.
 
−
*A simple programmer (hereafter called dsPicProgrammer) written in Java based on the library developed by [http://www.rxtx.org/ RXTX] has been developed here. The programmer supports both Linux and Windows environments, and may be used as a substitution for the official programmer developed by ingenia.
 
−
*The programmer has the following specification and limitations:
 
−
#Can be used on both Linux and Windows platforms.
 
−
#Adjustable baudrate (9600bps to 57600bps).
 
−
#Support programming of dsPIC30F5011 and dsPIC33FJ128GP306 devices (Developers may add your devices).
 
−
#Protection against overwriting bootloader codes on devices.
 
−
#Detection if application program does not have its reset() at user's code start address.
 
−
#Reprogramming can be done without powering down the target board, provided the user's program is compliant to that stated below.
 
−
#Target board will run the user's program after programming is done.
 
−
#Can be used with USB-Serial Cables. Below is a list of tested cable:

−
 
 
−
===Special Consideration===
 
−
*The bootloader assumes that the user program starts at address 0x100. This is usually the case, but there are always exceptions.
 
−
*To ensure that the user program always starts at address 0x100, you can create a customized linker script and customized reset() function as follows:
 
−
:*Copy and modify the file named "crt0.s" from the directory "C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPLAB C30\src\pic30" to the project directory and include it.
 
−
    .section .reset, code      //previously .section .libc, code
 
−
:*Copy and modify the linkerscript for the device (e.g. p30f5011.gld) to the project directory and include it.
 
−
  .text __CODE_BASE :
 
−
  {
 
−
      *(.reset);              //<-insert this line here
 
−
      *(.handle);
 
−
      *(.libc) *(.libm) *(.libdsp);  /* keep together in this order */
 
−
      *(.lib*);
 
−
      *(.text);

−
* '''Stage 2: Resetting Target Device'''
 
−
**dsPicProgrammer sends a Break character (pull UART-TX to low logic, which is normally high).
 
−
**User's program on dsPic detects the break character and reset the chip
 
−
::NOTE: The user's program is expected to have the following code in order to enable this function. Otherwise, the target board must be restarted manually.
 
−
  void _ISR _U2RXInterrupt(void)
 
−
  {

−
* '''Stage 3: Entering Ingenia's Protocol'''
 
−
** Transmission is conducted in 8N1, i.e. 8-bit, no parity, 1 stop-bit
 
−
** Communication Protocol is reviewed in [http://www.ingenia-cat.com/reference/pdf/iBL.UG.V1.2.pdf ingenia bootloader user's guide] section 2.1.3. The following summarises the key steps on the PC side (Refer also to section 2.2.2).
 
−
::#Autobaud rate detection: dsPicProgrammer continuously sends a character "U" [0x55] via COM port and waits for an acknowledgment character "U", [ACK] = [0x55]
 
−
::#Version Control: dsPicProgrammer sends the command character [0x03]. On success, dsPicProgrammer receives 3 characters i) Major Version ii) Minor Version iii) Acknowledgment [0x55]
 
−
::#Device ID Monitoring: dsPicProgrammer sends the read command character [0x01] + 24-bit address [High][Medium][Low] (0xFF0000). Then, it receives 4-byte data [High][Medium][Low][ACK]
 
−
::#Load the user hex file and check integrity
 
−
::#Start Programming: dsPicProgrammer issues the write command character [0x02] + 24-bit address [High][Medium][Low]+ Number of bytes [N] + [data 0] + [data 1] + ... + [data N-1] + [CRC]=(INTEL HEX8 Checksum - Sum modulo 256) and receives [ACK] or [NACK] = [0xFF]
 
−
::NOTE: Writing is in row mode access (i.e. erase and write a whole row, each row has 32 instructions, or 96 bytes because each instruction has 24 bits)
 
−
* '''Stage 4: Goto User's Program'''
 
−
**dsPicProgrammer sends the goto user code command [0x0F]
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
==USB-RS232 Bridge==
 
−
 
 
−
*As USB ports are becoming more and more common, COM ports and Parallel ports may be redundant in the next few years. This section explore the possibilities of programming the target board through a USB port.
 
−
*There are two options:
 
−
#Use an external USB/RS232 adaptor, the driver will emulate a virtual COM port, such as [http://www.prolific.com.tw/eng/downloads.asp?ID=31 Prolific] and [http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm FDTI]. Ingenia has tested its bootloader with some USB-232 manufacturers (silabs, FTDI, etc..). However, the programming failed with our Prolific adapter. Application program may use [http://java.sun.com/products/javacomm/ JavaComm API] (javax.comm) and/or [http://www.rxtx.org/ RXTX] to drive the COM port.
 
−
#Modified the bootloader program on PC to support USB communication. e.g. using [http://jusb.sourceforge.net/ jUSB] and [http://javax-usb.org/ JSR-80] (javax.usb). External circuits such as PIC18F4550 and MAX232 are required.

==Remote Access==
 
−
*At the moment, local devices (e.g. EEPROM, ADC, DAC, etc.) can only be accessed locally through POSIX functions such as open(), read(), write(), ioctl().
 
−
*However, a client may need to access these devices on a remote server. This section reviews the background and gives some ideas on its possible implementation.
 
−
 
 
−
===Requirements===
 
−
*A remote file access protocol, to transfer "files" (i.e. device's data) such as:
 
−
#[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FTP File Transfer Protocol] (FTP): Required files are copied from sever to client for manipulation
 
−
#[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_Shell Remote Shell] (RSH): Required files are copied from sever to client for manipulation
 
−
#[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_File_System_%28Sun%29 Network File System] (NFS): Required files are manipulated on sever
 
−
*An API to access files using a selected protocol, such as:
 
−
#[http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man2/lam_rfposix.2.html lam_rfposix]: A POSIX-like remote file service for Local Area Multicomputer

*dsPIC33 operates at voltage of 3.3V. A voltage regulator, such as [http://www.national.com/ds.cgi/LM/LM3940.pdf LM3940] can be used to convert 5V supply to 3.3V.
 
−
*A 1uF capacitor has to be placed at pin 56 (previously V<sub>SS</sub>, now V<sub>DDCORE</sub>).

====Configuration Bits====
 
−
 
 
−
----
 
−
*dsPIC33 can operate at 40MIPs at maximum. To configure the device using internal FRC, replace the configuration bits setting as follows:
 
−
  _FOSCSEL(FNOSC_FRCPLL);  // FRC Oscillator with PLL
 
−
  _FOSC(FCKSM_CSDCMD & OSCIOFNC_ON  & POSCMD_NONE); 
 
−
                            // Clock Switching and Fail Safe Clock Monitor is disabled
 
−
                            // OSC2 Pin Function: OSC2(RC15) as Digital IO
 
−
                            // Primary Oscillator Mode: Disabled
 
−
  _FWDT(FWDTEN_OFF);      // Watchdog Timer Enabled/disabled by user software
 
−
*Configure on-chip PLL at runtime as follows (at start of main function):
 
−
  _PLLDIV = 38;            // M=40: PLL Feedback Divisor bits
 
−
  CLKDIV = 0;              // N1=2: PLL VCO Output Divider Select bits
 
−
                            // N2=2: PLL Phase Detector Input Divider bits
 
−
  OSCTUN = 22;              // Tune FRC oscillator, if FRC is used;
 
−
                            // 0: Center frequency (7.37 MHz nominal)
 
−
                            // 22: +8.25% (7.98 MHz)
 
−
  RCONbits.SWDTEN = 0;      // Disable Watch Dog Timer
 
−
  while(OSCCONbits.LOCK != 1); // Wait for PLL to lock

−
====I2C====
 
−
 
 
−
----
 
−
*dsPIC33 supports upto 2 I<sup>2</sup>C devices. As a result, replace all I<sup>2</sup>C related registers with xxI2Cyy to xxI2C'''1'''yy. For examples:
 
−
  _SI2C1IF = 0; //Clear Slave interrupt
 
−
  _MI2C1IF = 0; //Clear Master interrupt
 
−
  _SI2C1IE = 0; //Disable Slave interrupt
 
−
  _MI2C1IE = 0; //Disable Master interrupt
 
−
  I2C1BRG = I2C_BRG; // Configure Baud rate
 
−
  I2C1CONbits.I2CEN = 1;
 
−
  ...
 
−
  etc.
 
−
 
 
−
====ADC====
 
−
 
 
−
----
 
−
*The ADC in dsPic33 is significantly different from that in dsPic30. Specifically, ADC in dsPic33 uses DMA to buffer the adc data. Replace the open, interrupt routine, add and remove codes as follows:
 
−
 
 
−
  unsigned int adc_bufA[ADC_MAX_CH] __attribute__((space(dma),aligned(256)));
 
−
  unsigned int adc_bufB[ADC_MAX_CH] __attribute__((space(dma),aligned(256)));
 
−
  unsigned int* ADC16Ptr;            //Pointer to ADC register buffer,
 
−
  unsigned char adc_ch_select = 0;    //Pointer to channel to be read from
 
−
  unsigned char adc_data_ready = 0;  //Indicate if RAM data is ready for output
 
−
  unsigned int which_dma = 0;        //indicate which adc_buf to be used
 
−
 
 
−

−
      AD1CHSbits.CH0NA = 0;
 
−
      // Configure analog i/o 
 
−
      _TRISB0 = 1;
 
−
      _TRISB1 = 1;   
 
−

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.
