Re: I/O commands using ICC12 and D-Bug12

Started by gottipatirk October 11, 2005
Hi

How do you specify the pointer address for the subroutines that are
developed in C for I/O operations (like getchar, putchar, prinntf) for
a MC9S12DP256 microcontroller and developing C programs using ICC12
software and D-Bug12 debugger

Thanks in Advance
Rama



Rama,

I'm afraid I don't understand your question. The pointer that is an
argument to those instructions is a pointer to a standard C string, so
you would use it like this:

int c;

c = getchar();
putchar(c);

printf(" (ASCII code %d)\n", c);

How these functions map to the SCI ports is specific to your C compiler's
run-time library. Check the documentation. With some compilers, you
will need to modify the putchar() and getchar() functions in order to
switch SCI ports. (Just copy them to your code, then change the register
names appropriately.)

If you were talking about how to access the D-Bug12 I/O functions,
that's a different problem. I'd be inclined to use the C compiler's
library functions instead, because that is simpler.

Hi Steve
Thanks for the instant reply and the follow-up on the mail i sent
you.
Yes i do know there are two different I/O functions, one from C
library and one provided by D-Bug12. I am just using the c library
finctions by including the stdio.h library.

Problem is it stays in an infinite loop.

Here is the code

#include <hcs12dp256.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int j;

main()
{
j = getchar();
putchar(j);

while(1)
{
}
return(0);
}

Hi Rama, it is as Stephen said, you need to write your own putchar. The
default one in the library only works for the older devices. The S12DG256
uses different IO register locations and hence the function loops forever.

We plan to release an update where the linker will be able to at least
inform you that the function is device specific, and you need to write it
yourself. We just implemented it for the AVR compiler, and the output looks
like this:

!ERROR Function 'putchar' not defined. This is a function that references
the device's IO register locations and must be compiled specifically
for the target device. You may find examples of this function for
different devices under the <install root>\examples.12 directory.

In your case, add putchar.c or putchar_dp256.c (or a copy) in the
<install>\examples.12 directory to your project file list, then change the
IO header file to reference the DP256. Build and you should be good to go.

Hi richard

Thanks for the reply.
So when i write my own putchar or getchar fiunction such as putchar.c
and getchar.c, i need to set the SCI0 and either read the data or
write the data to the transmit or recive buffer. Is this the way we
implement the function or its totally something else

Please let me know

Right! The function printf just calls putchar, so as long as you implement
a putchar() suitable for your device, printf etc. will work fine. For more
info, check the Help file on "Standard IO functions."
