14-bit configuration word in PIC16F877

JAMAL JIMI · Jan 21, 2014

How to program the 14-bit wide configuration word in the PIC16F877 at location 2007h in the program memory........Can any one please give me the assembly example....???

The configuration bits can be properly set by using the Assembler Directive with proper bitmasks, example:

Code:

__CONFIG _LVP_OFF & _DEBUG_OFF & _CP_OFF & _CPD_OFF & _BODEN_OFF & _WDT_OFF & _PWRTE_ON & _HS_OSC

The specific bitmasks for a particular PIC model can be obtain by referencing its specific INC file.

There are some significant differences between the PIC16F877 and the PIC16F877A ensure which particular version you are utilizing.

That is just an assembler directive which gives information to the assembler(not an assembly instruction).

Hi,

As well as looking at the .INC file as mentioned by BigDog, also look in the TEMPLATES folder which gives you a bit of stater code for each chip.
However do check the code, as the Config line for the 877 has LVP=ON, normally it is OFF.

Below is a simple assembler example just high lighting the key Config Parameters / changes to the Default from the .Inc file

Code:

;       progam to flash all of PortB pins on and off every 4 seconds
; 		based on a 4 mhz crystal


		list p=16f877
		include p16f877.inc
		__CONFIG _CP_OFF & _WDT_OFF & _XT_OSC & _PWRTE_ON & _LVP_OFF
	
		cblock 0X20			; specify user regiaters ( easier than EQU)
		d1
		d2
		d3
		COUNT
		endc



		org 	0x000
		GOTO	Main



Main	CLRF	PORTB		; Set portb,c,d to digital outputs
		CLRF   	PORTC
		CLRF 	PORTD
		BANKSEL TRISA
		CLRF	TRISB
		CLRF 	TRISC
		CLRF 	TRISD
		BANKSEL 0

		

LOOP						; main program looP
		CALL	DELAY4s		; call this subrutine
		MOVLW   0xFF
		MOVWF	PORTB		; Set  port HIGH

		CALL	DELAY4s

		MOVLW   0x00
		MOVWF	PORTB		; Set  port LOW
		GOTO	LOOP		


;  SUBROUTINES
	
DELAY4s						; 4 SECOND DELAY
		movlw	0x23
		movwf	d1
		movlw	0xB9
		movwf	d2
		movlw	0x09
		movwf	d3
Delay_0
		decfsz	d1, f
		goto	dly1
		decfsz	d2, f
dly1	goto	dly2
		decfsz	d3, f
dly2	goto	Delay_0
	

		return

		END					; END OF PROGRAM CODE

Reference: MPASM™ Assembler, MPLINK™ Object Linker, MPLIB™ Object Librarian User’s Guide, Section: 4.27 equ – DEFINE AN ASSEMBLER CONSTANT, Page: 81

4.27 equ – DEFINE AN ASSEMBLER CONSTANT

4.27.1 Syntax

label equ expr

4.27.2 Description

The value of expr is assigned to label.

4.27.3 Usage

This directive is used in the following types of code: absolute or relocatable. For
information on types of code, see Section 1.6 “Assembler Operation”.

In a single assembly file program, equ is commonly used to assign a variable name to
an address location in RAM. Do not use this method for assigning variables when
building a linked project; use a res directive inside a data section directive (idata, udata).

4.27.4 See Also

set cblock res idata udata udata_acs udata_ovr udata_shr

4.27.5 Simple Example

four equ 4 ; assigned the numeric value of 4 to label four

4.27.6 Application Example –set/equ

See this example under set

The Assembler Directive EQU simply assigns the bitmask labels, _LVP_OFF, _DEBUG_OFF, _CP_OFF, _CPD_OFF, etc ...., numerical bitmask values which are then bitwise AND'd to form the final bitmask passed to the __CONFIG Assembler Directive, which in turn utilizes the bitmask to set the Configuration Register, address location 2007h, to the required state.
