Need urgent help with 18F2520 MCLR issue

Status
Not open for further replies.
Eric please come on chat if you can ....

hi,
I have tried the asm file from OSH in MPLAB, also modified the CONFIG bits in MPLAB, I cannot make PORTE.3 an Input, it seems to be stuck as MCLR.

I suggest you contact microchip, they may have a fix.

E.
 

For the last hour I have searched the web for this problem, it appears that many users have problems.

Rechecked the 18F2520.inc files etc, and tried various fixes, no luck.

I will have to look further when I get more time, if you find a solution please let me know.:rolleyes:
 
Sure ... and if you do please let me know...

I feel its the oshon bug gonna try to load it to the muc and try the hex received from MPlab

hi,
I have checked the OSH 18F2520 configuration file listing with MPLAB's include file listing, I cannot see a difference.

Also checked the actual Configuration bits in the assembled listing, it shows 0x7F at 3H location MCLR OFF.

E
 
I have also been looking into this.... As I said in a previous post... I use the pic18f4520 with Oshonsoft with NO issues at all MCLRE is working as an input.

MPLAB also configures it correctly..... I am going to try your code on MPLAB...


No Need... The problem is with Oshonsoft... If the config is set.. It works in the real world... It also works in ISIS.

I have YOUR code running with the inp button on RE3... This is an input pin only...

Hi
I have edited the .cvg file in osho now I get the mclr off. But the microcontroller view shows mclr on
If u see there is config in the first couple of line.

What version ur using ian

I have tried my code on both 2520 and 4520

Both are giving same issue

Ian could u post the code which works please

M
 
When i am doing the main program MPlab is giving errors loads of errors

:(

You need to include the definition file "p16f628a.inc"... In the Oshonsoft IDE The menu bar contains "Options" Make sure the "Generate MPASMWIN compatible listing" is selected.
You should get a asm file that will build in MPLAB IDE.
 
Here's my listing... It assembles without warning / error

Hello ,

solved the issue by creating the asm in osho then using MPlab to create the hex. now RE.3 is active.

now i have a new problem :(

My program has a UART routine in ASM


ASM:ser_in: btfsc rcsta,oerr
ASM: goto overerror
ASM: btfsc rcsta,ferr
ASM: goto frameerror
ASM: andlw 0x00 'return 0 if no data
ASM: btfss pir1,rcif
ASM: goto end_call
ASM:uart_gotit: bcf intcon,gie 'clear gie before read
ASM: btfsc intcon,gie
ASM: goto uart_gotit
ASM: movf rcreg,w
ASM: bsf intcon,gie
ASM: goto end_call
ASM:eek:vererror: bcf intcon,gie 'turn gie off
ASM: btfsc INTCON,GIE
ASM: goto overerror
ASM: bcf rcsta,cren
ASM: movf rcreg,w 'flush fifo
ASM: movf rcreg,w
ASM: movf rcreg,w
ASM: bsf rcsta,cren 'turn cren on, clear oerr flag
ASM: bsf intcon,gie
ASM: goto ser_in
ASM:frameerror: bcf intcon,gie
ASM: btfsc intcon,gie
ASM: goto frameerror
ASM: movf rcreg,w
ASM: bsf intcon,gie
ASM: goto ser_in
ASM:end_call: movwf serdata

Had to replace it with

hserget serdata

doing so all the following errors went

Now the problem is the hserget does not read the data received .... ( i can see the data on hyper terminal)

any idea ?
 
THANX A MILLION TO ALL .......

It worked.

Ian just for the record why asm does not like the variable as data changed it to dataa worked well ....?
