Pic18f67k22 + pll + intosc + debug = problem

elt42at · Feb 12, 2013

Hello!

There is a problem with my microchip pic18 circuit.

I am using internal oscillator and enabled PLL (4x multiplier)

Code C - [expand]
1
2
#pragma config FOSC = INTIO2  // Oscillator: Internal RC oscillator 
#pragma config PLLCFG = ON      // PLL x4 Enable bit: Enabled

In my initialization of board i set primary clock source and PLL than wait for a while.

Code C - [expand]
1
2
3
4
OSCCON = 0x70; 
OSCCON2 = 0x00; 
OSCTUNE = 0xDF; 
DelayMs(250);

Now, the problem is debugging.

I am using PICKIT3. In debug mode, the circuit and code running. When i press HALT button, MPLAB sayas

Code C - [expand]
1
2
3
4
5
Running...
Halting...
Target halted
 
PK3Err0031: Failed to get PC

To be agree! I closed PLL then, debugging is worked perfect!

Is there any problem with PLL and DEBUG together!

Thanks!!!

hi ur frequency after PLL never exceed to 40 Mhz. be carefull

40mhz is the limit for debug? or pickit3?

my circuit runs perfect at 64mhz ( 16mhz intosc and 4x PLL )

Some times, i need to see some SFR values. So, i want to use DEBUG mode.

I am pushing HALT button. First debugger says unable to get PC value. Than i press run button, microchip runs but serial port baudrate and led blink timings are changing. I measeured that the rate is 4x slow. Like PLL stops. In this time debugger can HALT and shows me PC.

My friend can debug his same circuit in 32mhz ( 8mhz internal and 4xPLL ) with mplabX.

Also, is there any different with mplab8 and mplabX in debug preferences!

i tested a circuit by setting freq higher then 40 then its start giving me error

Thanks "zia"!

ok, i cant debug at64mhz but why debugger makes PLL disable when i press "RUN" ???

(i add OSCTUNEbits.PLLEN=1; in while(1) than it is solved.)

gd best of luck
