I am using a prototype board designed and fabricated by me. Crystal is 24MHz.

Board is working. Can blink LEDs and enable PWM module.

However, I am currently stuck in UART module. I am connecting "U1Tx To Pin RP64" & "U1Rx To Pin RPI75". The program is to receive data from pc and if the received byte is "a" then transmit "b" back to pc. Its not working.

The debugger (ICD3) is not working for this program (dont know why). So I decided to use LEDs connected at RF0, RF1, RF2 & RF3 to see where the program gets stuck. Found that the program gets stuck at if(U1STAbits.FERR == 1) indicating "Framing error has been detected for the current character". But I did not send any data from the pc.

LEDs connected at RF0 & RF2 are ON but LEDs connected at RF1 & RF3 are OFF.

Can someone please look into the program and point out my mistake?

dsPIC33EP512MU810 UART Module not working .
First advice dspic o/p is ttl 0:3.5 volts . PC serial port is -/+ 9 volts > use max 232 Ic to adjust leveling.
second one: do calculate the PLL for that dspic ic
send an image or schmatic for more details
hope it helps

check your calculation for the required FOSC (102000000)

using your values of PLLpre, PLLpost, etc I get FOSC (108000000)

to get FOSC (102000000) I think PLdiv should be 32

to test the UART I would have a loop transmitting a character to PC
you can at least see if something is being received even if it is rubbish
if you have an oscilloscope you can check the bit rate etc is corrrect

I am using MAX232 for Serial comm with pc. Board schematic attached.

PLL calculations are as follows:

1. To execute instructions at 51 MHz, ensure that the required system clock frequency is:
FOSC = 2 x FCY = 102 MHz

2. To set up the PLL and meet the requirements of the PLL, follow these steps:

a) Select the PLL postscaler to meet the VCO output frequency requirement (120 MHz < FSYS < 340 MHz).
• Select a PLL postscaler ratio of N2 = 2
• Ensure that FSYS = (FOSC x N2) = 204 MHz

b) Select the PLL prescaler to meet the PFD input frequency requirement (0.8 MHz < FPLLI < 8.0 MHz).
• Select a PLL prescaler ratio of N1 = 4
• Ensure that FPLLI = (FIN ÷ N1) = (24 ÷ 4) = 6 MHz

c) Select the PLL feedback divisor to generate the required VCO output frequency based on the PFD input frequency.
• FSYS = FPLLI x M
• M = FSYS ÷ FPLLI = 204 ÷ 6 = 34

So,
PLLFBD= 32; // M=34
CLKDIVbits.PLLPOST= 0; // N2=2
CLKDIVbits.PLLPRE= 2; // N1=4

Am I missing something?

Ignore my last post - I had misread your code !

did you try transmitting characters to the PC to see if anything was being received?
 

Yes horace.

I tried transmitting. I am using HyperTerminal in pc to check if anything is being received. Nothing

I think I have not configured HyperTerminal correctly or else my peripheral pin selection code is not working.

For PPS, earlier I wrote:

Code:
// Configure Input Functions
//*************************************************************

//OSCCONL Unlock Sequence
__builtin_write_OSCCONL(0x46);
__builtin_write_OSCCONL(0x57);

// Assign U1Rx To Pin RPI75
//***************************
RPINR18bits.U1RXR = 0x4B;
//***************************
//*************************************************************

// Configure Output Functions
//*************************************************************

// Assign U1Tx To Pin RP64
//***************************
RPOR0bits.RP64R = 1;
//***************************

//Set IOLOCK as a single operation.
OSCCONbits.IOLOCK = 1;

Now I have changed it to:

Code:
// unlock the registers, then use PPS to config port pins to be used by SPI
    PPSUnLock;    // this is a macro, do NOT use () at the end!
    iPPSInput(IN_FN_PPS_U1RX,IN_PIN_PPS_RPI75);
    iPPSOutput(OUT_FN_PPS_U1TX,OUT_PIN_PPS_RP64);
    PPSLock;    // this is a macro, do NOT use () at the end!

Here, IN_PIN_PPS_RPI75 is returning error when compiling. I tried IN_PIN_PPS_RP75. Compiled without errors. So I think it has to do with RPI thing. Dont know how to correct it :thinker: Am I missing something?

Thanks
 

a) If URXINV = 0, use a pull-up resistor on the
RX pin.
b) If URXINV = 1, use a pull-down resistor on
the RX pin.
 

I found out a peculiar thing:

When I use iPPSInput(IN_FN_PPS_U1RX,IN_PIN_PPS_RPI34); or a lower RPI (33, 32 ...) its compiling.

But when I go to a higher pin number (>34), say iPPSInput(IN_FN_PPS_U1RX,IN_PIN_PPS_RPI35); or iPPSInput(IN_FN_PPS_U1RX,IN_PIN_PPS_RPI75); its not compiling.

Any explanation for this behaviour?

@milan.rajik: I did not understand your post. Can you please elaborate a little?

PPS.H header file in my xc16 installation folder attached herewith. View attachment pps.txt

Changed file type to .txt as .h was not getting uploaded. Either way, it opens in notepad. So no problem.

peripheralversion.h also attached. View attachment peripheralversion.txt

in the dsPIC33EP512MU810 data sheet
https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/70616g.pdf

the dsPIC33EP512MU810 100 pin TQFP diagram show RPI35 on pin 22

however the version of pps.h I have does not define RPI35 - it has
Code:
#define IN_PIN_PPS_RPI34			34					/* Assign RPI34 as Input Pin */
#define IN_PIN_PPS_RP35				35					/* Assign RP35 as Input Pin */
which defines RP35

perhaps post an question of the Microchip forum?
 

If UART Invert is selected then pull down resistor on Rx line. If not then use pull up.
 

The following code is working for me. Only transmitting, no receiving. Transmitting 'N'

Checking in HyperTerminal. 'N' is received in COM1.

However, ICD3 not debugging. Its says:
Launching
Programming target
User program running
No source code lines were found at current PC 0x0
User program stopped


Now will try to receive data and send back to pc.

Thanks
