Title: Successful PIC programming
Post by: Sjaak on March 25, 2010, 10:59:23 pm

I've added a new protocol for programming Microchip PIC microcontrollers to the newterm branch (could be ported back to the old one). Besides this firmware you'll need some way of generating 13v which is applied to the MCLR/VPP pin (pic24/30 don't need it but they aren't tested yet). Feel free to (help me) add it.

I used a prototype ( http://dangerousprototypes.com/2009/12/ ... er-update/ (http://dangerousprototypes.com/2009/12/10/bus-pirate-pic-programmer-update/) ) that is provided by Ian, which uses a PWM signal to supply a 13v. The final HVP adapter (see also http://dangerousprototypes.com/forum/in ... opic=265.0 (http://dangerousprototypes.com/forum/index.php?topic=265.0) ) need some other initialization, but sending commands should be the same.

There are 2 modes which can be used: a 6 bit mode and a 4 bit mode. The 6 bit is currently the only that is (a bit) tested. This mode is used by pic10, 12, 14, and 16.

I hooked up a pic10F222 to the adapter and buspirate. Used commando's in this example:

2   load data into buffer
4   read data from current pc
6   increment pc
8   program buffer to memory at pc
14 stop programming
9   erase memory

See document DS41266C for detailed information about programming the pic10F220/222 ( http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/D ... 41266C.pdf (http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/41266C.pdf) )

As we can see it is already programmed! the dumping starts at 0x3FF (config word), rolls over to 0x000. Then 0x1FF programwords follows, OSCCAL, 4 ID words and the backup OSSCAL (oscilator calibration value) (on page 2 there is a memory map)

Remember to unpower the device (p w) to reset the pc to 0x3FF. Alternatively you can increment the pc to 0x3FF, but we are lazy, aren't we?

Everything should be in the SVN (except the pic10f program). There is also a binmode on its way (somewhere this weekend I hope).

I'm aware there are still some bugs in this code (I *assume* also in the newterm branch ;)) Please test and post the results in here.

Fantastic demo. I'm breadboarding a 16f84 to do a first test.

Please check if the programming algo is the same. There are small differences between the pics. I got somewhere at home (I'm at work atm) most of the programming manuals. I'll post it later on.

BTW: nice topictittle ;P

I found my favorite 8bit micro on my desk, a 16f628a (missing one pin). I got the programming spec for it and I'm trying to figure it out now. I'm at the bottom of the learning curve at this point and reading this spec makes my eyes cross 8)

By quick looking at the sheet:

Code: [Select]

[4]r[6]

Will read a word and increment the pc, if you repeat this it will dump (eventually) the pic :D

I notice it had two types of programming mode, and a different way of entering programming mode (first apply 13v, then vcc and tie pgm low). See page 6.

As promised the programming docs of the various pics: http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcpl ... odeId=1407 (http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=1407)

Finally, I managed to do it too. Here are R+B in a terrible cell-phone photo. Thanks! It was nice to see some success.

Edit: I used the HVP adapter, and I entered the values by hand not the script. My program was just my own test that put a byte onto the GPIO port. I changed the color (byte) manually each time so I could tell if the changes took effect. IT was a little tedious, but now I understand it better.

congrats, ian!

Edit: did you made any changes to the design of the hvp adapter?
