I am learning to debug AVR in AtmelStudio. So I have written a simple program to test. But it compiles correctly but not executes as expected.
I had written following code ATmega32
#include <avr/io.h>
int main(void)
{
DDRA = 0xFF;
PORTA = (10/100)*255;
return 0;
}
And from the debug menu selected Start Debugging and Break. In IO window I have selected I/O Port (PORTA). I pressed F11 key for step by step execution. Only DDRD is written with required value but porta is not assigned any value and it completes debuging.
Why PORTA is not written any thing.
Because of the way integer division works in C, 10/100 evaluates to 0, so you are actually assigning 0 to PORTA. If you see that the value of PORTA is 0 then your program is behaving as expected. It's hard to believe your statement that "porta is not assigned any value" without seeing a screenshot or short video.
You might consider writing this instead:
PORTA = 255 * 10 / 100;

I have a PIC18F24K20 microchip, and wants to control a relay. It works fine from my RasPI over GPIO - but i cant get it working trough my microchip.
My test program is this:
#include <xc.h>
#define R1 LATBbits.LATB0
#define R1_TRIS TRISBbits.RB0
#define R2 LATBbits.LATB1
#define R2_TRIS TRISBbits.RB1
void main(void) {
R1_TRIS = 0;
R2_TRIS = 0;
R1 = 1;
R2 = 0;
return;
}
What is im doing wrong?
replace the return;
with:
while(1)
{
ClrWdt();
}
according datasheet,RB0 and RB1 have several modules connected to these pins,so you should verify they are turned off:
Analog,
ECCP,
Comparator.
BTW why using two pins in order to control one relay?
3.you may need add driver in order to operat the relay.
according datasheet, add following initialization code:
CCP1CON=0;
CCP2CON=0;
ADCON0=0;
CM1CON0=0;
CM2CON0=0;
also PBADEN bit at configuration bit should be zero.
The main function should never return in the embedded PIC processors. In some implementations, it would cause a software reset which would cause your pins to go back to high impedance mode. Try adding while (1); at the end of your main.
Check if the used pins have other functions. The typical gotcha is that the pins double as analog pins and are enable by default.
Disable them by looking up which AN pin they correspond to in the datasheet and disable them with code like
ANSEL.ANS0 = 0;
ANSEL.ANS1 = 0;
If you enable watchdog functionality you also might want to add a
ClrWdt();
to the main WHILE loop (which was a good suggestion from Mathieu)
I'm a beginner in C language. I'm trying to operate on EEPROM memory in my ATmega 8 and ATtiny2313.
Based on this tutorial I've created the following codes:
1) writes a number to place 5 in uC's eeprom
#define F_CPU 1000000UL
#include <avr/eeprom.h>
int main()
{
number=5;
eeprom_update_byte (( uint8_t *) 5, number );
while (1);
{
}
}
2) blinks the LED n times, where n is the number read from place 5 in eeprom
#define F_CPU 1000000UL
#include <avr/io.h>
#include <util/delay.h>
#include <avr/eeprom.h>
int main()
{
DDRB=0xFF;
_delay_ms(1000);
int number;
number=eeprom_read_byte (( uint8_t *) 5) ;
for (int i=0; i<number; i++) //blinking 'number' times
{
PORTB |= (1<<PB3);
_delay_ms(100);
PORTB &= (0<<PB3);
_delay_ms(400);
}
while (1);
{
}
}
The second program blinks the led many times, and it's never the amount which is supposed to be in eeprom. What's the problem? This happens in both atmega8 and attiny2313.
EDIT:
Console results after compilation of the first program:

That is one of the every time failures for beginners :-)
If you compile simply with avr-gcc <source> -o <out> you will get the wrong results here, because you need optimization! The write procedure MUST be optimized to fulfil the correct write access! So please use '-Os' or '-O3' for compiling with avr-gcc!
If you have no idea if your problem comes from read or write the eeprom, read your eeprom data with avarice/avrdude or similar tools.
The next pitfall can be, that you erase your eeprom section if you program your flash. So please have a look what your programmer really do! A full chip erase erases the eeprom as well.
Next pitfall: What fuses you have set? You are running with the expected clock rate? Maybe you have programmed internal clock and your outside crystal seems to be working with wrong speed?
Another one: Just have a look for the fuses again! JTAG pins switched off? Maybe you see only JTAG flickering :-)
Please add the compiler and programming commands to your question!
I have a ATMega16 and have looped the Rx Tx (just connected the Rx to the Tx), to send and receive one char in a loop. But i only seems to be receiving 0x00 instead of the char i send.
I have the CPU configured to 1MHz.
But my thought is that since the Rx and Tx are just looped, it shouldn't matter what speed i set, since both are the same?
So basically, I'm trying to get a LED to flash at PORTC when receiving the correct char.
Here is the code:
#ifndef F_CPU
#define F_CPU 10000000
#endif
#define BAUD 9600
#define BAUDRATE ((F_CPU)/(BAUD*16)-1)
#include <avr/io.h>
#include <util/delay.h>
void uart_init(void){
UBRRH = (BAUDRATE>>8);
UBRRL = BAUDRATE;
UCSRB = (1<<TXEN) | (1<<RXEN);
UCSRC = (1<<URSEL) | (1<<UCSZ0) | (1<<UCSZ1);
}
void uart_transmit (unsigned char data){
while (!(UCSRA & (1<<UDRE)));
UDR = data;
}
unsigned char uart_recive(void){
while(!(UCSRA) & (1<<RXC));
return UDR;
}
int main(void)
{
uart_init();
unsigned char c;
PORTC = 0xff;
DDRC = 0xff;
while(1)
{
_delay_ms(200);
uart_transmit(0x2B);
c = uart_recive();
if(c==0x2B){
PORTC = PORTC ^ 0xff;
}
}
}
Any thoughts of what i am doing wrong?
The code seems right.
Thing you may have to check:
if your baudrate is the one you should have
if you try to send a char like 'p'; now you are sending a '+'
check your port configuration and see if it matches to your configuration
I think the last one is the problem.
You can try this code from ATMega manual:
/* Set frame format: 8data, 2stop bit */
UCSRC = (1<<URSEL)|(1<<USBS)|(3<<UCSZ0);
After building your program, go to your port configuration and make sure it it set on 8 bits data format and 2 stop bits. Then test it on you microcontroller and see what happens. Please come back with the result.
Consider real baudrate accuracy. See e.g. http://www.wormfood.net/avrbaudcalc.php?postbitrate=9600&postclock=1, AVR provides 7.5% error for 9600baud # 1MHz clock, which is rather high error. Depend what you are sending and receiving. "Normally" you can see a garbage, if you receive permanently 0x00s it looks like another problem.
your F_CPU is set to 10MHz.
you sad that it is configured to 1Mhz.
Also check your Fuses if you really activated the crystal.
If you just use the internal oscillator: it has a relatively large error so that your UART timings may be broken (i never got problems using internal oscillator for debugging).
Another source of error may be your F_CPU definition. Mostly this Preprocessor constant is defined already (propably also wrong) in Makefile (or in IDE project settings) so your #define in Code has not affect since the #ifndef
PORTC pins(TDI,TMS,TCK,SDA) always high because these pins for JTAG and JTAG is enable by default. if you want to use PORTC in your application you have to Disable the JTAG by setting fuse bit. for atmega16 JTAGEN is fuse bit set it to 1(means unprogrammed). in case of fuse bit 0(means programmed) and 1(means unprogrammed) one more thing if you use more than 8MHz you have to set fuse bit otherwise your program will give unexpected or wrong result thanks.
If using Arduino, what would it do if I used code like this:
int status;
void setup()
{
pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
}
void loop()
{
digitalWrite(13, status);
}
What would thiscode do? Would the LED turn on? Would it damage the chip? When compiling in the Arduino IDE, it said it was fine. There are other issues that the compiler won't catch, but what will they do? One other example is doing "digitalRead();" while it is set as an output.
Note: Using Arduino Uno SMD edition R2.
You will not damage the Arduino, but you cannot be sure about the output, since the value is not initialized. It holds whatever value the memory holds in its location (think of it as an unknown random value). Most probably though, it will be turned on, because digitalWrite sets the pin to high if you pass anything other than LOW (=0) to it. Look at Arduino's source code in wiring_digital.c:
if (val == LOW) {
*out &= ~bit;
} else {
*out |= bit;
}
Regarding your other questions:
Reading a pin value returns PINx register value, which is the physical state (high or low) of the pin, regardless of its mode (in or out).
In general, it is really difficult to damage Arduino, and in most cases you need to apply some high/negative voltage on some pins to damage it.
I am using Mac OS 10.6.5, g++ 4.2.1. And meet problem with following code:
#include <iostream>
#include <sys/signal.h>
using namespace std;
void segfault_handler(int signum)
{
cout << "segfault caught!!!\n";
}
int main()
{
signal(SIGSEGV, segfault_handler);
int* p = 0;
*p = 100;
return 1;
}
It seems the segfault_handler is called infinitely and keep on print:
segfault caught!!!
segfault caught!!!
segfault caught!!!
...
I am new to Mac development, do you have any idea on what happened?
This is because after your signal handler executes, the EIP is back to the instruction which causes the SIGSEGV - so it executes again, and SIGSEGV is raised again.
Usually ignoring SIGSEGV like you do is meaningless anyway - suppose the instruction actually read some value from a pointer to a register, what would you do? You don't have any 'correct' value to put in the register, so the following code will likely SIGSEGV again or, worse, trigger some logic error.
You should either exit the process when SIGSEGV happens, or return to a known safe point - longjmp should work, if you know that this is indeed the safe point (the only possible example that comes to mind is VM interpreters/JITs).
Have you tried returning 0 instead of 1 in your program? Traditionally, values other than 0 indicate error. Also, does removing the two lines dealing with *p resolve it?
