I've noticed too that timer0 does NOT advance in MPSIM if the
prescaler is bypassed (1:1). But if the prescaler is assigned to
TMR0 (i.e. at least 1:2 or higher), then TMR0 increments.

I'm not sure why though. You may want to use the prescaler of 1:2 or
higher.

TMR0 works for me, but you do have other problems. I would reset to
bank 0 immediately after OPTION although I don't believe it affects
your program here.

Have you solved your problem yet? I may have some time this weekend.

hi
hello
i have just started progrmming in assembly of pic . i
wrote a simple program for pic16f84a running at 4mhz . it has got a
timer routine which runs for 0.1 sec and sec1 routine which calls
timer routine 10 times..to waste 1 sec.....main program toggles led
once a second using sec1 routine...
i m unable to pinpoint the mistake in my program as it is compiling
successfully...
here goes the code
=======================
list pf84a
include "p16f84a.inc"
cblock 0ch
tenthsec,sec,tensec,min,mark250,mark200,mark2,ten
endc
#define led portb,0
org 00h
goto main

init
bsf status,rp0
movlw 00
movwf trisb
movlw 7
movwf option_reg
clrf tenthsec
clrf sec
clrf tensec
clrf min
movlw 250
movwf mark250
movlw 200
movwf mark200
movlw 2
movwf mark2
return

; for 0.1 sec at 4mhz pic should run 100,000 which
; is 250*200*2
timer
bcf status,rp0
movf mark250,w
subwf TMR0,w
btfss STATUS,Z
goto timer
movlw 250
addwf mark250

decf mark200,f
btfss STATUS,Z
goto timer
movlw 200
movwf mark200

decf mark2,f
btfss STATUS,Z
goto timer
movlw 2
movwf mark2
return

sec1
movlw 10
movwf ten
loop call timer
decf ten,f
btfss status,z
goto loop
return main
call init
bcf status,z
bsf led
call sec1
bcf led
call sec1
goto main
end
========================
in MPLAB IDE 6.3 i m unable to simulate timer0...its not incrementing
at all...is that a limitation of MPLAB IDE ?
i m unable to point out the mistake in last 2 days...
please find the clock.asm file attached
please help me out...

thanks in advance
