microcontroller - dsPIC 30F6012A will not read RD9, appears to be software problem


I'm using a dsPIC 30F6012A. I have two PCBs with this chip, both displaying the same symptoms, implying it's not one-off damage. RD9 is definitely being driven to five volts, confirmed with a multimeter. Older versions of my firmware read digital input RD9 without problem. Newer versions do not; RD9 is always read as low, regardless of the actual voltage on the pin. There are no differences between the code versions that are obviously related to RD9. RD8 and RD10 read correctly. I've updated MPLAB X and the XC16 compiler to the latest versions, without effect.


What software issues could cause a digital input to always read low?


The relevant assembly for my current compliation is:


177:                       TRISD = 0xFF07;

002214 2FF074 MOV #0xFF07, W4
002216 881694 MOV W4, TRISD

debounce_input_state.RTR = PORTDbits.RD9;
0027C6 8016A4 MOV PORTD, W4
0027C8 DE2249 LSR W4, #9, W4
0027CA 624261 AND.B W4, #0x1, W4
0027CC FB8204 ZE W4, W4
0027CE 620261 AND W4, #0x1, W4
0027D0 DD2249 SL W4, #9, W4

0027D2 804346 MOV debounce_input_state, W6
0027D4 2FDFF5 MOV #0xFDFF, W5
0027D6 630285 AND W6, W5, W5
0027D8 728204 IOR W5, W4, W4
0027D2 8845C4 MOV W4, debounce_input_state

I've tried different reads of PORTD in different places, without apparent benefit or change. LATD is never referenced in my code, and the reference to TRISD above is the only reference. Forcing TRISDbits.TRISD9 to 1 immediately before read doesn't have any benefit. There are only two peripheral attached to the same hardware pin, and they're explicitly disabled, and should not interfere with digital input in any case.


Debugger agrees with my observations: PORTD<9> never reads high, while <8> and <10> do. TRISD<9> is set high. PORTD<9> is shown as going high in the debugger on my old firmware. Relevant code from old firmware is as follows:


172:                       TRISD = 0xFF07;
002210 2FF070 MOV #0xFF07, W0

002212 881690 MOV W0, TRISD

530: debounce_input_state.RTR = PORTDbits.RD9;
0027E0 8016A0 MOV PORTD, W0
0027E2 DE0049 LSR W0, #9, W0
0027E4 604061 AND.B W0, #0x1, W0
0027E6 FB8000 ZE W0, W0
0027E8 600061 AND W0, #0x1, W0
0027EA DD0049 SL W0, #9, W0
0027EC 8045C2 MOV debounce_input_state, W2

0027EE 2FDFF1 MOV #0xFDFF, W1
0027F0 610081 AND W2, W1, W1
0027F2 708000 IOR W1, W0, W0
0027F4 8845C0 MOV W0, debounce_input_state

It appears to be semantically identical, just different register names.



Answer



As past me (what an arrogant gasbag) points out, setting C1CTRL<15> enables IC2, disabling RD9 as GPIO. Even if you manually disable IC2 after that point, RD9 still can't be used for GPIO.

arduino - Can I use TI&#39;s cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
