PIC24FJ64GB002 as USB Host and UART

Greetings People,
 
I am new to PIC family. Previously i was working on 89S8253 processors. I have a new requirement where i need to interface PIC24FJ64GB002/4 to my 89S8253 where my controller(89S8253) will send data to PIC controller on Uart Port. Once PIC receives the data i need to store that data on USB Flash drive. I have come to know that PIC controller can work as usb host and it can also received data on its UART port. My question can i program PIC controller to accept data on UART port and then save that data on USB Flash Drive ? I don't know much about oscillator configuration for PIC controller. Any documents or links might be helpful for me.
 
Please give some advice.

    The PIC 24F processors are fairly complex and can be confusing at first. I suggest the PIC24F Family Reference Manual (microchip website under "other resources", it has many different sections for each part of the pic). Also the data sheet for the specific processor is a good source. USB operation in the PIC is not a simple task however there is a great deal of code and literature on this forum and also the microchip website on this topic.
    Receiving data on the USART and writing to a Flash Drive are certainly in the capability of the processors but will not be a trivial development project, at least n my opinion, especially as a first introduction to these parts.

    ...Any documents or links...



     
    The Microchip Libraries for Applications has a demonstration project for a USB - Host - MSD Data Logger.  This uses the USB host stack and the FILEIO stack to talk to a USB Mass Storage Device.  That project just uses a PIC internal timer to cause it to write data to the device periodically.
     
    There are MPLABX project configurations for various devices, including the PIC24FJ64GB004 PIM, which might show you what is involved.
     
    Now, compared to USB and File I/O, the USART part of your application is kind of trivial from a technical point of view, but if you have never programmed a PIC24, the USART I/O might be a good place to start.
     
    But here's my main suggestion:
    Try a few simple projects first to make sure the device is operating under your control. (Blink an LED with a delay loop; blink an LED with a timer interrupt; do simple serial data transfers from the PIC UART to your workstation; etc.)
     
    Read the data sheet to see how to set up the clock on the PIC24 in such a way that you can eventually use it for your USB application.
     
    Then get on to the "good stuff" with USB and File I/O.
     
    Regards,

    Thanks Dave. 
    After your suggestion i have decided to start on with a code for UART reception and transmission. I have one question regarding using Tx and Rx pins. How can i map these two pins in my code ? Any suggestions or any links would be of great help. I do have the sample pdf from Microchip describing UART Tx (with interrupt) and Rx (with pooling), but can't see any definitions on using the pins. The code is pretty simple and well explained. I am talking about PIC24FJ64gb002 28 pin DIP package. I would like to use 5v pins. Can i use Pin number 14 i.e. RB5 for Tx/Rx purpose ?

    Read the Data Sheet section about PPS (Peripheral Pin Select) (Section 10.4 of the current Data Sheet for your chip).
     
    Table 10-2 shows what registers are used for the various input pin functions.  In a given register, put the number of an RPn pin in the bit positions for that function.
     
    Table 10-3 shows what function numbers to assign to registers for PPS pins used as outputs.  In a given register (for the particular RPn pin), put the function number shown in that table.
     
    Look at the rest of that section to see the register designations for the given RPn Input and Output stuff.
     
     
    Here is code used in my PIC24FJ32GB002 project (same assignments work for '64GB002):
     
    I used RP8 for the Uart1 Receive pin and RP7 for Uart1 Transmit.  After reading the section in the Data Sheet you should be able to change the assignments to suit your requirements.
     
        // For PIC24FJ34GB002/PIC24FJ64GB002
        //
        // Configure Input Functions (Table 10-2)
        // Assign U1RX To Pin RP8 (Pin 17 on the DIP-28)
        RPINR18bits.U1RXR = 8;

        // Configure Output Functions (Table 10-3)
        // Assign U1TX (Function 3) to Pin RP7 (Pin 16 on the DIP-28)
        RPOR3bits.RP7R = 3;

    Now, some would recommend using assignments with macros defined in <PPS.H>, and I think that's probably a Good Idea in the long run, but I think it's important to be able to use explicit register assignments, at least for the first time, so that you can really understand the mechanism.  (You have to look at the data sheet anyhow to understand what pins are programmable.)
     
    Namely:
    1.  For input functions, there is a register for that function and you put the programmable pin (RPn) number in that register.  Use any RPn that is defined for the device.  Some devices have RPIn pins defined.  These can only be used for inputs.
     
    2.  For output functions, there is a function number that you put into the appropriate register for that output pin.  Use any RPn that is defined for the device.
     
    Summary:
      For an input, you assign a PPS pin to a register defined for a specific function.
      For an output, you assign a function number to a register defined for a specific PPS pin.
     
     
    For your question abour RB5:
    Pin 14 (RB5) does not have an RPn designation (so it is not a PPS pin), therefore it can not be used for any of the programmable I/O functions.

    Hey dave,
    After reading your reply i have written small UART code.
     

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <p24Fxxxx.h>
    #include <PPS.h>
    #define FP 4000000

    #define BRGVAL ((FP/BAUDRATE)/16)-1
    #define Delay_105uS asm volatile ("REPEAT, #4201"); Nop(); //105uS Delay Proc
    void __attribute__((interrupt, no_auto_psv)) _U1RXInterrupt(void)
    {
     IFS0bits.U1RXIF = 0; // Clear Uart1 Rx flag.
     U1TXREG = U1RXREG; // Send received char to Tx Buff for Transmission.
    }
    void __attribute__((interrupt, no_auto_psv)) _U1TXInterrupt(void)
    {
     IFS0bits.U1TXIF = 0; // Clear Uart1 Tx flag.
    }
    void initUART()
    {
     U1MODEbits.STSEL = 0 ; // 1 - Stop bit.
     U1MODEbits.USIDL = 0; // Continue operation at Idle state.
     U1MODEbits.PDSEL = 0 ; // No Parity. 8-bit Data
     U1MODEbits.ABAUD = 0 ; // Auto Baudrate Disabled.
     U1MODEbits.BRGH = 0 ; // Standard speed mode.
     U1MODEbits.UARTEN = 1 ; // Enable Uart.
    U1BRG = BRGVAL ; // Baud Rate setting for 9600.
    U1STAbits.UTXISEL0 = 0 ; // Interrupt when transmit buffer becomes empty.
     U1STAbits.UTXISEL1 = 1 ;
     U1STAbits.URXISEL0 = 1 ; // Interrupt when receive buffer has one
     U1STAbits.URXISEL1 = 0 ; // or more than one char.
     U1STAbits.UTXEN = 1; // Enable Uart Tx.
     
    // U1STAbits.URXISEL = 0b00; // interrupt flag bit is set when RXBUF is filled whith 1 character
    IEC0bits.U1TXIE = 1 ; // Enable uart transmit interrupt.
     IEC0bits.U1RXIE = 1 ; // Enable uart receive interrupt.
    IFS0bits.U1RXIF = 0; // clear interrupt flag of Rx
     IFS0bits.U1TXIF = 0; // clear interrupt flag of Tx
    __builtin_write_OSCCONL(OSCCON & 0xbf) ; // Unlock register for pin mapping.
    RPINR18bits.U1RXR = 9; // Assign RP9 for Uart 1 Rx.
     RPOR3bits.RP7R = 3; // Assign RP7 for Uart 1 Tx.
    __builtin_write_OSCCONL(OSCCON | 0x40); // Lock register after mapping.
    }
     
    int main(void) { 
     initUART();
     while(1);
    }

     
    Correct me if i am wrong. One major problem is i have not added configuration in the start because i actually don't know what to configure and how to configure. In this I have take FP as 4 MHz so do i need to use external 4MHz crystal or my code will be using internal 4MHz crystal frequency.

    That coding style suggests that you are using the C30 compiler. I would get rid of the "stdio" and "stdlib" include statements as they are almost never used (certainly the stdio one) for embedded systems - perhaps for old-style (printing to the console while the program executes) debugging but I've not seen them used for 'production' code.
    Normally there are a number of "configuration" macro calls at the start of the code file that holds the 'main' function that are used to set the "power on" configuration of the device. You can alter some of these later on (for example, you may want to start with the FRC oscillator and later switch to an external crystal or to some other configuration that is not available immediately on power up).
    The data sheet will tell you the various "config" settings and options - look for a section named "Special Features" or similar. The MPLABx IDE also has a window that lists the config settings  for the processor you are using and has a function that lets you cut-paste the settings into your code. I must admit that I have never used this as I generally work from the devices data sheets directly.
    The data sheet will tell you the default (power on) register settings and you should look at the "Oscillator" section in the data sheet at eh OSCCON register. Your device look like it powers up in the FRCDIV mode (the fast RC oscillator with the post-scalar used). The FRC is 8MHz and the default FRC postscalar is 'divide by 2' so you should be running with a 4MHZ clock as you say. The FRC is an "RC" oscillator, not an "internal crystal" and Table 29-19 in the data sheet shows that it typically is +/-0.25%.
    My general "style" is to do the following at the start of the "main" function:
    - configure the oscillator(s)
    - set the PPS (if necessary)
    - disable the analog functions on the pins unless I actually want them
    - set the I/O configurations
    - initialise each peripheral (typically calling an "init" function within the source file for the function)
    - go into the "while" loop and get on with the job

    Am i going wrong at any place ? According to YTS tutorial on Bluetooth dongle and PIC24FJ64GB002 ,i will be interfacing Max232 on 5v tolerance pin for now. If my code works then next step is to create a file in usb flash drive and write csv data into that file. The current code will echo what ever i send to PIC on its RX pin. As show in the attached image do i need to connect external crystal on pin 9 and 10 ?

    //CONFIGURE RC OSCILLATOR
    _CONFIG1(JTAGEN_OFF & GCP_OFF & GWRP_OFF & ICS_PGx2 & FWDTEN_OFF)
    _CONFIG2(IESO_OFF & FCKSM_CSDCMD & OSCIOFNC_ON & FNOSC_PRI & POSCMOD_HS)
    }

     As show in the attached image do i need to connect external crystal on pin 9 and 10 ?

    I have edited the above so that the question and the related code are together
    In CONFIG2, you have told the chip to use the primary oscillator (FNOSC_PRI) and that it is to expect a crystal in the 12MHz to 24MHz range (POSCMOD_HS). Therefore the answer to your question is "yes". ALso don;t forget the capacitors as well as the crystal.
    However, that will give you a system clock frequency of whatever the crystal frequency is.
    If we go by your comment - that you are wanting to use the RC oscillator, then set PNOSC_FRC and the POSCMOD to disabled (I don't remember the code by heart - or simply leave this out and it will default to disabled). That wil give you an 8MHz system clock.
    Personally I would not bother with unlocking and re-locking the PPS lock capability. The default is for the PPS registers to be available and you can end up in more trouble than you can imagine if you get this wrong.

    ....i will be interfacing Max232 on 5v tolerance pin for now.

    Remember that a 5V tolerant pin means that you can drive it to 5V without damaging the pin BUT *NOT* that it will drive 5V as an output pin. The full name is "5.5V tolerant input pin".
    Some devices (and I don't think this is one) will allow you to also use an open collector output pin that can be driven to about 5V - you need to be sure of the device capabilities before you  try this sort of thing.
    *In theory*, a "logical high" signal on a 3.3V device should be just high enough for a 5V device to detect it as "high". However you should never rely on this and certainly I would not recommend this for any production quality systems as it makes them very vulnerable to noise on the signal lines
    The safest way is to use a level shifter.
    I see that you have declared both an Rx and a Tx ISR. This is OK for practice, but for what you want to do I would suggest that you only use the Rx ISR and do not enable the Tx side interrupt.
    Better still for now, I would simply test the URXDA bit within the main loop and then transferring the received value to the transmit buffer when it is set. Interrupts can complicate things as you get started.

    Greetings to all,

    _CONFIG1(JTAGEN_OFF & GCP_OFF & GWRP_OFF & ICS_PGx2 & FWDTEN_OFF)
    _CONFIG2(IESO_OFF & FCKSM_CSDCMD & OSCIOFNC_ON & FNOSC_FRC & POSCMOD_NONE)

    Well as pre YTS's post for PIC24FJ64GB002 and Usb Blue Tooth Dongle, i have so far connected my circuit as shown in the posted image file. Pin16 is configured as Tx pin and is connected to
    Max3232 pin11 and Pin18 is configured as Rx ping and is connected to Max3232 pin12. So far so good and i have also given required 3.3V and 5.0V supply. I have used RC oscillator which will be
    running at 8Mhz (i hope so). I have also changed my config2 a bit as per Susan's advice. I have dropped an idea of using primary oscillator and will be using FRC. So accordingly the baud rate
    is calculated. My U1BRG value comes to be 25 for 9600 baud with BRGH = 0 and Fp = Fosc / 2 = 8000000 / 2 = 4000000 Hz. What i am trying to do is to program my PIC24FJ64GB002 for UART communication with echo i.e. whatever i send to my PIC24FJ64GB002, it echoes me back. Once i succeed with UART, I will move on to USB Host programming.
    1). Hope i am bit correct with my configuration.
    2). Hope my schematic is correct for connecting my PIC to my PC / Desktop using RS232 / UART connections.
    Correct me if i am going wrong.

    The 5V connection to Vbus is only needed when you are actually using the USB, and so you do not needed at the moment.
    You describe how Pin 18 is connected to the MAX3232 but it is not shown in your schematic.
    With respect to the oscillator setup, those config settings will power it up on FRC mode at 8MHz.
    For the BAUD rate calculation it is actually given to you in Example 17-1 so that is all right as well.
    What you should do now is to simply send a stream of characters from the UART. If you put something like:

    while(1)
    {
         while(U1STAbits.UTXEN);  // Wait until another character can be written
         U1TXREG = 'U';               // Initiate sending a capital U character
    }

    into the main 'while' loop, you will get capital "U" characters being sent to the PC at 9600 baud. If you are receiving that then you know that the UART is basically working. If not then you need to put a scope on the TX line from the MCU to make sure that it is working at the correct frequency and voltage levels.
    Once you have all of that going, then you can hook up the Rx side of things and try echoing the characters back to the PC, knowing that the TX side is working OK.

    Thanks Susan.
     
    Actually i have not shown the other schematic because i have worked with 8051 mcu and RS232 communication a lot. I am confident of that schematic :). Well if you want to have a look at it then i can post it. I have actually tried the code for PIC24FJGA002 in proteus 8 simulation and its working. Hope the simulation is almost close to the practical approach. PIC24FJGA002 does not have usb where as PIC24FJGB002 has usb channel.

    Now my uart is working perfectly. The next phase is working with RTC. If i want to connect external crystal of 32.768KHz then should i be connecting it on pins 11 and 12 ? Also do i need those capacitors for the crystal as shown in the attached schematic. The schematic was available from following  .

    Every crystal wants capacitors Smile so yes, it makes sense.

    Hey Dario,
    Actually link was the address of the attached image schematic. Well the schematic is in the attached image, i wanted to know the value of capacitor placed at 32.768KHz crystal. C7 and C8 are 27pf should i be using the same value ?

    Oh ok.
    I normally use 15..22 for high frequency crystals, and maybe 22..33 for lower frequency ones. I'd say 27 is ok - you may want to try slightly different values just in case... And yeah they can also "tune" the crystal a little bit, so that you can have more precise timing.

    I have actually tried the code for PIC24FJGA002 in proteus 8 simulation and its working. Hope the simulation is almost close to the practical approach.

    I have not ever used Proteus and so I cannot comment on that. However I do know that I have been involved with a number of questions on this and other boards where someone has claimed that their code works in a simulator and doesn't on hardware only to find that the simulator was masking a "bug". (That is quite apart from all of the errors where the hardware was not correctly wired up!)
    Similarly, people have spent hours trying to get some code to work in a simulator only to find that the simulator was broken and that the original code worked first time on the hardware.
    Personally I stay clear of simulators and work on real hardware. There are very few times where the cost of the chips, or the effort of putting them into a proper PCB is greater than my time for doing it - let alone chasing bugs in someone else's software.
    However that is my personal opinion - others with almost certainly have others.

    Hello Susan,
    I do agree with you about the simulators. They aren't 100% perfect and they do have some kind of bugs, but simulators are helpful. I have ordered PIC24 programmer and will be getting it pretty soon. Also regarding the oscillator for RTC i will be connecting 32.768Khz crystal on pins 12 and 11 of PIC24FJ64GB002. Do i need to do any other configuration in _config2, _config3 or _config4 ? I haven't read much about that but i need to do my homework for RTC crystal and will get back soon.

    From what I can see in the data sheet, only the SOSCSEL bits relate to the RTC oscillator and you can probably leave those at the default setting.
    From your reference to pins 11 and 12, I assume you are using the DIP package
    The main control over the SOSC is in the OSCCON and you need to use the __builtin_write_OSCCONL macro to set the bit. The FRM sections on the oscillator and the RTCC have a lot of information about setting up the oscillator and the RTCC.
