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

Two types of ICSP are available: ICSP and Enhanced ICSP. Both of them require setting ^MCLR to V_IHH (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.
- Program memory can be erased using Normal-Voltage (4.5 – 5.5V) or Low-Voltage (2.5V – 4.5V).

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.

Table 2.4 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 0.12.0	Assembler and C-Compiler	Linux	Free²

Full-featured for the first 60 days. After 60 days only optimization level 1 can be enabled in the compiler. The compiler will continue to function after 60 days, but code size may increase.
The current version supports external programmer ICD 2, but not yet tested.

RTSP

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

Configuration Bits

System clock source can be provided by:

Primary oscillator (OSC1, OSC2)
Secondary oscillator (SOSCO and SOSCI) with 32kHz crystal
Internal Fast RC (FRC) oscillator at 7.37MHz
Low-Power RC (LPRC) oscillator (Watchdog Timer) at 512 kHz.

These clock sources can be incorporated with interal Phase-locked-loop (PLL) x4, x8 or x16 to yield the osciallator frequrence F_OSC
The system clock is divided by 4 to yield the internal instruction cycle clock, F_CY=F_OSC/4
FRC with PLLx16 is used to achieve F_CY=29.48MHz (30MIPS)

    _FOSC(CSW_FSCM_OFF & FRC_PLL16);

UART

5011 provides two UART channels UxART, for x=1, 2.
UxMODE, UxSTA, UxBRG are registers used to set the mode, indicate the status, and set the baud rate respectively.
For UART communications compatiable with RS232 standard, an external driver (e.g. MAX3232ESE) is needed.
For UART communications compatiable with RS485 standard, an external driver (e.g. DS3695N) is needed.

Auto baud rate detection

The PC sends a ASCII character 'U' (0x55) to the target board.
On the first rising edge of the start bit, the target board starts the timer.
At the fifth rising edge, the timer is stopped, let the count number be t_count.
- The measured period corresponds to 8 bits transmitted at a baud rate uxbrg.

  _   _   _   _   _   _
_|S|_|1|_|1|_|1|_|1|_|S|_  (S = Start Bit)
 <--------------->
   Measured Time

The relationship between uxbrg and TMR is

Measured Time (in seconds) = t_count/F_cy
uxbrg = 1/(Measured Time/8)
      = 8*F_cy/t_count

Since UxBRG is computed by:

UxBRG = (F_cy/(16*Baudrate)) -1
      = (F_cy/(16*8*F_cy/t_count)) -1
      = t_count/128 -1

The following is the code for auto baud rate detection for U2ART:

U2MODEbits.ABAUD = 1;		//Enable Autobaud detect from U2RX (from IC2 if 0)
U2MODEbits.UARTEN = 1;		//U2ART enable
//Timer 3 Config==========================================================
PR3 = 0xFFFF;			// Set counter to maximum
_T3IF = 0;			// Clear interrupt flag
_T3IE = 0;			// Disable interrupt
T3CONbits.TON = 1;		// Start the timer, TMR3 count up
//Input Capture Config====================================================
IC2CONbits.ICM = 3;		//Detect rising	
_IC2IF = 0;			//Clear interrupt flag
_IC2IE = 0; 			//Disable interrupt
//Start Auto baud detection===============================================
unsigned int i=0;
cli();				//Disable Global Interrupt
while(!_IC2IF);			//1st rising edge detected
TMR3 = 0;			//Clear TMR3 to start count up
_IC2IF = 0;			//Clear interrupt flag
while(!_IC2IF);			//2nd rising edge detected
_IC2IF = 0;			//Clear interrupt flag
while(!_IC2IF);			//3rd rising edge detected
_IC2IF = 0;			//Clear interrupt flag
while(!_IC2IF);			//4th rising edge detected
_IC2IF = 0;			//Clear interrupt flag
while(!_IC2IF);			//5th rising edge detected
_IC2IF = 0;			//Clear interrupt flag
T3CONbits.TON = 0;		//Stop the timer
sti(); 			//Enable Global Interrupt
//Compute value for BRG register==========================================
unsigned int time;
time = ((TMR3+0x40)>>7)-1;	//+0x40 for rounding
//========================================================================
return time;

For 30MIP, tested speeds of transmission include 9600bps, 19200bps, 28800bps, 38400bps and 57600bps.

I²C

Two lines are devoted for the serial communication. SCL for clock, SDA for data.
Standard communication speed includes

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_dd-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();
				
     Nop();			//A small delay for hardware to respond

     while(I2CCONbits.SEN);	//Wait till Start sequence is completed

After sending a byte and receiving an acknowledgement from the slave device, ensure to change to idle state. For example:

     MasterWriteI2C(0x55);

     while(I2CSTATbits.TBF);		//Wait for transmit buffer to empty

     while(I2CSTATbits.ACKSTAT);	//Wait for slave acknowledgement

     IdleI2C();

ADC

12-bit ADC: (Max 16 Channels)
Allow 2 sets of analog input multiplexer configurations, MUX A and MUX B.

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.

Communication Protocol

Communication Protocol is reviewed in user's guide section 2.1.3. The following summarises the key steps on the PC side (Refer also to section 2.2.2).
Transmission is conducted in 8N1, i.e. 8-bit, no parity, 1 stop-bit
Stage 1: User's configuation
- Select a baudrate
- Select a COM port channel
Stage 2: Autobaud rate detection and version control
- Continuously sending a character "U" [0x55] via COM port
- Continuously waiting for an acknowledgment character "U", [ACK] = [0x55]
- Send command character [0x03]
- Receive 3 characters 1) Major Version 2) Minor Version 3) Acknowledgment [0x33]
- Prints the version number [Major.Minor] (e.g. 1.1) on screen.
Stage 3: Loading and writing the program
- Load the user hex file, check integrity.
- Start loading file using:
  - Read command character [0x01] + 24-bit address [High][Medium][Low]
  - Receive 4-byte data [High][Medium][Low][ACK]
  - 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)
  - Recieve [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)

Ensure the initial address of writing match an initial row position,
Send the data corresponding to the whole row.
