PIC18f4520 and e8051 uart mode - help needed
PostPosted: Mon Oct 02, 2017 10:26 am     Reply with quote

Hello,

I have to communicate with my PIC (20MHz) with 8051 "like" mcu. It is UART transmission. Exactly it is au7860 mcu and it's communication protocol is here.

Generally it is:
Quote:

In slave mode, UART is used for communication in 8bit asynchronous transfer mode,
defaulting GPIOA0 as TX, GPIOA1 as RX and 57,600bps as baud rate. Format of each byte is
as follows:

|START bit | 0 bit, 1 bit .... 7 bit| STOP bit|

Packet Format:
0x55 | 0xAA | len | Cmd_H | CmD_L| data (x len) | CS

In example the simplest command is:
0x55
0xAA
0x0
0x0104 - Cmd_H CmD_L
0x0
0xFB


The C51 "like" storage mode is BIG-END mode, upper bytes are stored in the low address of the memory, and lower bytes are stored in the upper address of the memory.
so 0x12 is sent as: 0 -> 1 -> 0 -> 0 -> 1 -> 0 -> 0 -> 0.

And here is my questions
1) My PIC is LOW-END as I know it correctly?
2) Is there in CCS bit reverse routine?
3) Do PIC perform 57600 bps speed?
4) the 0x0104 should be reversed as one or I should divide it on 0x01 and 0x04 and reverse it separately?

Overall this is just 'regular' serial communications, so no need to reverse the bits or those cmd bytes. The 'device' needs the data sent in the order you show.

NOW the big 'issue' is the hardware. That PDF is just the commands and doesn't explain the interface connections.
Typically , most 'devices' today are 3 volts so it's best to select a 3 volt PIC. Any( most ?) with L in them ( ie: 16LF84 ) are designed to run on 3 volts. Some PICs, like the 18F46K22 are designed to run on 5 or 3 volts. You don't say which PIC you're using...that's an important detail!

UART could mean 'TTL' signals. The datasheet will explain what is required. Hopefully it's as simple as connecting the PIC's XMT pin to the MP3's RCV pin, and the PIC's RCV pin to the MP3's XMT pin.

To begin, cut code to send a SIMPLE command to the device and display the result either to a local LCD or PC terminal program. Confirm that works, then test other commands. One step at a time...wins !

The PIC is 18f4520 but the mp3 hardware is secured with resistors provided voltage drop on au7860 UART port. MP3 hardware developer assure that it is enough but in my final hardware I will use BSS138 logic level converter.

I downloaded the datasheet for the 4520 and it'd be easier for you to just order/use the 18LF4520 PIC. That way NO additional parts needed between PIC and MP3 device !
Also then you only need a 3 volt power supply.

Where can I find this pic18LF4520 datasheet I can see only pic18F4520 at the net??

It's the same data sheet. Only difference lies in acceptable power supply voltage range, and there is usually also a difference in maximum clock speed vs power supply voltage. Those differences are spelled out in the electrical specifications chapter of the data sheet.

Ohhh I see.

Any in this LF version is possible to supply it with 5V0 and to set it (in come register) that outputs are 3V3??

Asking because some fo my devices are supplied with 5V0. Or it is like this that which power supply mcu this voltage is on outputs??

And how is it with cpu speed?

Do I understand it correctly that external quartz is the same (in my example 20 MHz) but only cpu speed changes?

With any PIC I'm aware of, it's not possible to have them output a normal digital output voltage that is different from their power supply. So 5V supply to your PIC means that a logic high will be 5V. There are, however, PICs that are meant to run at 3.3V but will tolerate 5V inputs. dsPICs in particular have this capability on some of their ports/pins, but not all.

Regarding your speed/crystal question, look at pages 322 and 323 of the data sheet. For the "F" parts, they'll run at a speed of up to 25MHz at power supply voltages of 4.2V and above. As you'll then see on page 323, for "LF" parts, their maximum speed depends on power supply voltage. The equation for the line is given below the graph.
