My first AVR program

[PA3040]

Dear All,

This is my first AVR Program

.include <m32def.inc>

Start:		jmp		main

main:		call	sys_init
			call	blink_led

blink_led:	ldi		R16,0b11111111
			out		PORTB,R16
			ldi		R16,0b00000000
			out		PORTB,R16
			jmp		blink_led

			
sys_init:	ldi		R16,0b11111111
			out		DDRB,R16
			ret

This program is build succeeded. then I debug it is using AVR studio-6
1. First it pointed start
2. then jump to main ( call sys_init)
3.Then jumped to sys_init subroutine
4.finally it met ret command
5 then it returned to start instead of call blink_led

Please advice
Thanks in advance

You need a delay routine to see the led effect!!!
(**broken link removed**)
"
main:call sys_init
call blink_led
blink_led: ldi R16,0b11111111
out PORTB,R16
call delay
ldi R16,0b00000000
out PORTB,R16
call delay
jmp blink_led
"

Dear nagkiller,

Thanks for the reply

Actually my problem is not LED visibility issue
It does not debugging correctly as mention in my post one
Please help
Thanks in advance

What specific hardware debugger are you utilizing?

Or is this a simulation?

Hi Bigdog
Wish you the happy new year
I am using ATMEL studio 6 soft debugger ( software debugger )
Please help
Thanks in advance

I am using ATMEL studio 6 soft debugger ( software debugger )

Happy New Year to you as well.

So you're simulating your code rather than debugging it on physical hardware.

A hardware debugger, like JTAGICE mkII, JTAGICE3 or AVROne is required to debug code on physical hardware using AVRstudio 6.

Dear Bigdogguru,
Thanks for the reply

Extremely sorry
Yes Problem is existing with Simulating
Please advice

 

[bigdogguru]

The following is a fairly good tutorial concerning the use of the simulator in AVR studio:

How to use AVR Studio for Assembler Programming

Work through the example project provided in the above document, if you still have issues with your code post them in this thread and I'll try and resolve them.

Dear Bigdogguru,
Please see the code

.include <m32def.inc>

Start:		jmp		main

main:		call	sys_init
			call	blink_led

blink_led:	ldi		R16,0b11111111
			out		PORTB,R16
			ldi		R16,0b00000000
			out		PORTB,R16
			jmp		blink_led

			
sys_init:	ldi		R16,0b11111111
			out		DDRB,R16
			ret

 

[bigdogguru]

When you simulate your code, are you single stepping through or setting breakpoints?

Are you not seeing any changes at the PORTB level?

Dear Bigdogguru

Please see the image to see the problem
It return to the same location from call return

please advice

The issue is due to the lack of device initialization code, primarily there is no stack initialization.

When the ret instruction is executed, there is no return point pushed on the stack, hence the code execution simply jumps back to the beginning of the code segment.

; Conversion times:
; The whole routine requires 228 clock cycles maximum (converting $FF), and 79 clock cycles minimum (converting $00).

Beginners Introduction to the Assembly Language of ATMEL AVR Microprocessors

When programming in C the required device initialization is included in what is commonly referred to as Startup Code, when programming in assembly you are required to complete the device initialization before using the stack and other elements which need to be initialized before use.

Try the following modifications:

.include <m32def.inc>

.CSEG
.ORG $0000

Start:		ldi 	R16,HIGH(RAMEND) ; Set the stack
		out 	SPH,R16
		ldi 	R16,LOW(RAMEND)
		out 	SPL,R16


main:		rcall	sys_init
		call	blink_led

blink_led:	ldi	R16,0b11111111
		out	PORTB,R16
		ldi	R16,0b00000000
		out	PORTB,R16
		jmp	blink_led

			
sys_init:	ldi	R16,0b11111111
		out	DDRB,R16
		ret

Dear Bigdog,
Now it is working tanks for help

I am going through the beginners introduction the tutorials that you provided in the above post of you
what does the meaning the paragraph six of page 5 under ( Test it) don't try to program a mega machine to start with
Please advice

 

[bigdogguru]

what does the meaning the paragraph six of page 5 under ( Test it) don't try to program a mega machine to start with

The term mega-machine refers to a large program or application, in other words take small steps when learning a new programming language.

Don't try and write the firmware for that satellite you've been planning to design your first time. :lol:

I also found the following AVR Assembly Language sites:

The AVR Assembler Site

AVR ASSEMBLER TUTOR

AVR-Assembler-Tutorial

AVRbeginners.net!

Dear bigdog
It is really nice tutorials

My next step is to study the fuse bit
Before read the tutorial abut fuse bit. can you guide me some from you experience.

can we set fuse bit like pic ( __config 3f39)
Please advice
