Description:

I tried to make a circuit using PIC18F4550 Microcontroller and MikroC Programming Language. This is my program sequence.

  • There are 20 schedules to choose and each schedule have 6 timing values.
  • This schedule number store in the first EEPROM and other times data store from 10 to 129 EEPROM memory. (6 timing values x 20 schedules and starts from 10 memory)
  • The user can choose one of the schedules and can edit times of each schedule.
  • When a user selects a schedule those times values for outputs delay.
  • Data show on LCD Display
  • This has 6 Inputs. (Settings (B1), Up (B2), Down (B3), Enter (B4), Reset (B5), Test (B6), Proximity (B7)


Code:

This is my program for this sequence in MikroC language. Still not finished it.

Code:

Error:

When I add one more line to this code for example Delay_ms(300); line then my Proteus Simulation and real practical both not working. But program memory not full in IC. IC is resetting.

Proteus Simulation gives me following error message continuously.

[PIC18 STACK] PC=0x09BC. Stack overflow is forcing device reset. [U1]

I think this is not Nested Calls Limitations error because this code does not have more function calls than recommended function calls.

mikroC PRO for PIC limits the number of non-recursive nested calls to:

8 calls for PIC12 family, 8 calls for PIC16 family, 16 calls for PIC16 enhanced family. 31 calls for PIC18 family.

Question:

How to identify error points in a code and how to solve out this problem? What is 0x09BC point.

If you want any other data to identify error please tell me.

This is Proteus and MikroC Code **broken link removed** to download

Simulation Practical:

I did following practical but I can not identify error points.

This is data of without Stack Overflow error in CPU Stack and CPU Data Memory. CPU data memory store in last memory location and middle memory locations are free.

This is data of with Stack Overflow error in CPU Stack and CPU Data Memory. CPU data memory store in last memory location and middle memory locations are free.

Also in CPU stack going from 31 to 0 continuously and that is change to 0x09BC.

EEPROM also have a lot of free memory locations.

0x09BC is the address that caused the overflow but you will find it very difficult to trace it from a hex dump. You need to look at a listing file that shows the addresses and assembly lines side by side, from that you should be able to find the corresponding line in your program or a library.

I don't use MikroC so I'm not sure what the name of the file would be but typically it ends in '.lst'.

Free EEPROM space has nothing to do with it, the PIC program memory and EE memory are completely different parts of the IC and the stack is never pushed to EE.

The other clue is what gets pushed on to the stack, it will normally be a return address so it can be traced back to the LAST place it successfully worked. Do not assume the problem address was correctly pushed to the stack before it crashed.

According to listing file it stops at TRISA = 0b00000000; line after main function. I think it is Stack Overflow error becouse LCD working code are function call. What do you think?

Somebody says Soft or something like that then can reduce Stack Overflow error by using RAM. Anybody have an idea how to use it for functions?
