How to set the baud rate using INTRC_IO and H4
PostPosted: Tue Oct 18, 2011 11:49 pm     Reply with quote
Hi,

I have configured a 18F2620 using these fuse settings..

Code:

#include <18F2620.h>
#fuses INTRC_IO,H4,NOWDT,PUT,NOPROTECT,NOMCLR,NOCPD,BROWNOUT,NOLVP,NOPBADEN,NOIESO,NOFCMEN
#use delay(clock=4000000)
#use rs232(baud=19200,xmit=pin_c6, rcv=pin_c7,parity=n,brgh1ok)


The PIC is working alright, but I cannot get the serial port to work, the serial port works with INTRC_IO without the H4 setting..

Please suggest how the serial port can be configured....

Setting a higher baud rate (at 115200) generates a error..

thanks

Looks like your fuses aren't the correct ones.

You can't get 115200 baud with a 4MHz Internal oscillator as you've chosen the 'HS' fuse.'HS' refers to an external crystal,'INTRC_IO' means use the internal osc. section and 'free up' 2 pins for I/O functions.

Try using the 'HSPLL', which should enable the PLL and turn the 4MHz INTOSc into a 16 MHz clock.At that speed, 115200 baud should be possible.

Consult the datasheet sections on 'oscillator configurations' as well as 'UART options'. The diagrams and charts are easy to understand the 'flow' and how it works.

These newer PICs are full of options and as I found out, you have to read the datasheet a few times, to get the correct setup.

Any other baud rate would be suitable, I normally use 9600, even this would be OK. I would prefer to use the internal oscillator as this would reduce part count.

In the datasheet, 'Internal Oscillator Block' , 2.6.4..section mentions that it should be possible to run the PIC at 32 MHz using PLL with the internal oscillator..

So how do I configure this in PCH, do I have to access the OSCCON and OSCTUNE registers directly ??

So tips would be appreciated here...

Note: Any suitable baud rate would be acceptable as this is not essential for the working of my system, I just need a serial port for debugging purposes..

You don't need to fiddle with anything directly. Just use:

Code:

#include <18F2620.h>
#fuses INTRC_IO,NOWDT,PUT,NOPROTECT,NOMCLR,NOCPD,BROWNOUT,NOLVP,NOPBADEN,NOIESO,NOFCMEN
#use delay(clock=32MHZ)
#use rs232(baud=115200,xmit=pin_c6, rcv=pin_c7,parity=n,ERRORS)
//BRG10K, is _only_ for chips that have the BRG fault
//If you use the hardware UART, you should _always_ have
//ERRORS, unless you add your own error handling code - omitting this
//can leave the UART hung if certain errors occur....

//Then in main
void main(void) {
   //Variable declaraitions
   setup_oscillator(OSC_32MHZ);

   //other setup and code

}


Key thing is to study the clock diagram. The 'H4' PLL (fuse settable), is _not_ available for the internal oscillator. When you use the internal oscillator, you have a _software_ switchable PLL available, which (obviously) requires code to enable it!.
Now, depending on your compiler version, selecting 'INTRC', or 'INTRC_IO', and specifying the clock as 32MHz, should do this automatically, however. setup_oscillator 'makes sure'.....
