pic f84 errors

[Salvo Tech Support]

Hi Robert.

The problem lies in mismatch between your application and the salvocfg.h you're using.

If you look at salvo utorial u3main.c, you'll notice that it does not use any events (see its salvocfg.h -- OSEVENTS is 0). Your application uses one semaphore, yet your salvocfg.h has OSEVENTS set to 0. What's happening is salvo.h only references OSecbArea (the event control blocks) if OSEVENTS is non-zero, and so a compile-time error occurs.

You probably just need to change the OSEVENTS lines in your salvocfg.h to

code:

---

#define OSEVENTS 1

---

and it should compile OK.

Alternatively, you can just use tutorial u4sysasalvocfg.h instead of salvo utorial u3sysasalvocfg.h. Just copy it to your c: emp est2salvocfg.h.

Note that you can use the code tags (see the section on UBB Code in the Forums faq) when posting code snippets. I added the tags to make it more legible.

Thanks for posting so comprehensively -- I would not have found the problem without looking at your salvocfg.h!

When I try to compile for the f84 using semaphores I get a error.
undefined identifier: OSecbArea

Command line: "C:HT-PICBINPICC.EXE -G -O -Zg5 -D24 -DMAKE_WITH_FREE_LIB -E -ASMLIST -FAKELOCAL -16C84 -C -fakelocal -Isalvoinclude -Isalvosource -I emp est2 C:TEMPTEST2TEST2.C"

I include sfp40aab.lib

[srhoar]

Thank you. This really helped. I got everything working fine.

Is there a big change to go down to
pic16C84 vice the pic16F84.

It seems everything compiles fine for the F but not the C

I added the

code:

---

#define OSPIC16_GIE_BUG TRUE

---

to salvocfg.h

I get an error:
Command line: "C:HT-PICBINPICC.EXE -G -INTEL -Mtest2.map -16C84 -oTEST2.HEX -fakelocal -Isalvoinclude -Isalvosource TEST2.OBJ C:SALVOLIBRARYSFP40AAB.LIB "
Enter PICC -HELP for help
Error[000 ] : Can't find 0x2 words (0x2 withtotal) for psect code_ptr in segment BANK0
Exit status = 1

I think you've run out of ROM, though I'm not 100% sure with that error message. The 16F84 has only 1024 instructions in ROM, so fitting a Salvo application in there is a bit of a stretch -- we generally recommend PICs with >= 2K ROM.

But that doesn't help you, does it? So let's see what we can do ...

I see you're using Salvo Lite. That doesn't leave too many opportunities.

1) Your application (at least what's shown below, don't know what it's grown into) doesn't call OS_Delay(). Therefore you don't need any of the delay services. But sfp40Aab.lib has them in there ... Use sfp40Aeb.lib instead (events but no delays). Note that you should have

code:

---

#define OSLIBRARY_CONFIG  OSE
#define OSLIBRARY_VARIANT OSB

---

for this "eb" library.

2) Another thing you can do is remove the call to OSInit() ... but you must clear the RAM in bank1 to all 0's at the beginning of main() if you choose to do this, because the compiler won't do it for you. The Salvo variables used in the libraries are declared as persistent, and therefore the usual PICC startup code won't touch them. OSInit() is a lot bigger than PICC's start initializer code, so the code should shrink. You can use the clear_ram() function that PICC provides as startup code. If it's not present in your MPLAB Program Memory window, then add an unused global variable to your program and it will be. I don't know what the parameter list for clear_ram() looks like ...

3) You don't need the OSPIC16_GIE_BUG config option. There's nothing in your main() that uses it, and the library's services are already compiled with it, and AFAIK the F84 doesn't suffer from this problem anyway.

4) A Salvo application compiled for the 16C84 should run on the 16F84, and vice versa. There's no difference in either the Salvo or PICC libraries ...

I compiled the v2.3 salvo utorial u4sysa u4free.pjt for both the 16C84 and the 16F84 and they were the same size, ROM- and RAM-wise. So I don't know or understand why you get a difference between them. How much ROM did it use when it successfully compiled for the 16C84?

Oh -- if you manually clear out bank1 RAM instead of using OSInit(), the built-in idle task won't run. But you're not using it, so that should be OK.
