#Standard speed mode: 100kHz
 
−
#Fast speed mode: 400kHz
 
−
#High speed mode: 3.4MHz
 
−
*dsPIC30f5011 supports standard and fast speed modes. The maximum speed attainable is 1MHz.
 
−
*Pull-up resistors are required for both SCL and SDA. Minimum pull-up resistance is given by:
 
−
    Pull-up resistor (min) = (V<sub>dd</sub>-0.4)/0.003  ......  [See section 21.8 in Family reference manual]
 
−
*2.2Kohm is typical for standard speed mode.
 
−
*After initiating a start/stop/restart bit, add a small delay (e.g. no operation) before polling the corresponding control bit (hardware controlled). For example:
 
−
      StartI2C();<br>
 
−
      Nop(); //A small delay for hardware to respond<br>
 
−
      while(I2CCONbits.SEN); //Wait till Start sequence is completed

−
*Allow a maximum of 2 sets of analog input multiplexer configurations, MUX A and MUX B (Normally use one only).
 
−
*A maximum of 200kps of sampling rate when using auto sampling mode.
 
−
====Configuration====
 
−
*Interrupt: Clear ADC interrupt flag and enable ADC interrupt. The ADC module will be set to interrupt when the specified channels are updated.
 
−
  _ADIF = 0; //clear ADC interrupt flag
 
−
  _ADIE = 1; //enable adc interrupt
 
−
*I/O: Set the corresponding TRISBX bits (digit i/o config) to input (i.e. = 1), and set corresponding bits in ADPCFG (analog config) to zero.
 
−
  _TRISB2 = 1; //Set AN2 [Case Temp] as analog input
 
−
  _TRISB8 = 1; //Set AN8 [Power detect 0] as analog input
 
−
  _TRISB9 = 1; //Set AN9 [Power detect 1] as analog input
 
−
  _TRISB10 = 1; //Set AN10 [Current detect 0] as analog input
 
−
  _TRISB11 = 1; //Set AN11 [Temp detect 0] as analog input
 
−
  ADPCFG = 0xF0FB; //0 => Analog, 1 => Digital
 
−
*Scanning Mode: Scan mode is used. In this mode, the Sample and Hold (S/H) is switched between the channels specified by ADCSSL (Scan select register).
 
−
  ADCSSL = 0x0F04; //0 => Skip, 1 => Scan
 
−
*Reference Voltage for S/H: Only MUX A is used. By default, the negative reference voltage of the S/H is connected to V<sub>REF-</sub>.
 
−
  ADCHSbits.CH0NA = 0;
 
−
*Sampling Rate: T<sub>AD</sub> refers to the time unit for the ADC clock. To configure the ADC module at 200kbps, the minimum sampling time of 1T<sub>AD</sub> = 334ns is required. ADCS<5:0> in ADCON3 register is used to set the time, which is given by:
 
−
      ADCS<5:0> = 2(T<sub>AD</sub>/T<sub>CY</sub>)-1
 
−
                = 2(334e-9/33.34e-9)-1
 
−
                = 19
 
−
 
 
−
      ADCON3bits.SAMC = 1; //1TAD for sampling time
 
−
      ADCON3bits.ADRC = 1; //Use internal ADC clock
 
−
      ADCON3bits.ADCS = 19; //Set TAD = 334ns
 
−
*Settings for ADC Operation: For 200kbps operation, the voltage references for the ADC voltage are connected to V<sub>REF+</sub> and V<sub>REF-</sub>. Scan input is enabled, and the module will generate an interrupt when all selected channels have been scanned.
 
−
      ADCON2bits.VCFG = 3; //External Vref+, Vref-
 
−
      ADCON2bits.CSCNA = 1; //Scan input
 
−
      ADCON2bits.SMPI = 4; //take 5 samples (one sample per channel) per interrupt
 
−
*More Settings for ADC Operation: Turn on the module, select the data output format as unsigned integer, and allow auto setting of SAMP bit (auto sampling).
 
−
      ADCON1bits.ADON = 1; //Turn on module
 
−
      ADCON1bits.FORM = 0; //[2 fractional]; [3 siged fractional]
 
−
      ADCON1bits.SSRC = 7; //auto covert, using internal clock source
 
−
      ADCON1bits.ASAM = 1; //auto setting of SAMP bit
 
−
====Storing ADC Data====
 
−
*16 registers (ADCBUF0 -ADCBUF15) are dedicated to store the ADC data between interrupts. However, the data in ADCBUFx does not necessarily correspond to the data taken for channel x. Since the lowest register will always be filled first, when some of the channels are not scanned (i.e. skipped), care must be taken. The following code checks the ADCSSL register for the current scanning channels and moves the data to the corresponding position in *adc_buf.
 
−
      void _ISR _ADCInterrupt(void){
 
−
          _ADIF = 0; //Clear adc interrupt
 
−
          //==========================================================

==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.

===dsPicProgrammer (Java-based Mulit-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:
 
−
#Use baud rate of 57600bps (Not selectable).
 
−
#Only program dsPic30f5011 devices (Developers may change the source code for your devices).
 
−
#Protection against overwriting bootloader codes on devices.

==USB-RS232 Interface==
 
−
 
 
−
*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.

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.

Comparison between differnt optimization levels
Optimization Description Project 1
Code Size
(byte)		 Project 1
Data Usage
(byte)		 Project 2
Code Size
(byte)		 Project 2
Data Usage
(byte)
O0 No optimization
Fastest Compilation 		6222 (9%) 178 (4%) 26,037 (38%) 710 (17%)
O1 Optimize
Tries to reduce code size and execution time. 		4473 (6%) 178 (4%) 22,290 (32%) 710 (17%)
O2 Optimize even more
Performs nearly all supported optimizations
that do not involve a space-speed trade-off.
Increases both compilation time and the
performance of the generated code. 		4422 (6%) 178 (4%) 21,993 (32%) 710 (17%)
O3 Optimize yet more.
O3 turns on all optimizations specified by O2
and also turns on the inline-functions option. 		4485 (6%) 178 (4%) 22,176 (32%) 710 (17%)
Os Optimize for size.
Os enables all O2 optimizations that do not
typically increase code size. It also performs
further optimizations designed to reduce code
size. 		4356 (6%) 178 (4%) 21,885 (32%) 710 (17%)
