Install MPLABX and XC16. Select the processor type in the MPLABX.
Update the chip specific include file (p24f_config.inc etc.) with frequency, PLL, serial, pin and other settings.
Update pic24.inc with memory and include file details, if not alreday present.
Update the configs.c file with settings for your chip. These can be generated by MPLABX.
The clock frequency setting in the chip specific include file must match configuration used in configs.c.
Compile the project and program the HEX file to the PIC with your favourite device programmer.
FlashForth has been run at least on
dsPIC33CK64MC105,dsPIC30F4012, dsPIC30F4013, dsPIC33FJ128GP802, dsPIC33EP256GP502, dsPIC33CK64MP205,
PIC24FJ64GU205, PIC24EP256GP202, PIC24FJ128GB202, PIC24FJ128GA704, PIC24F32KA304 and PIC24HJ128GP502.
FlashForth should work on all 16-bit PIC chips with enough flash(>=64Kbytes) and enough ram. New chips may require some adpatation, typically in the flash write routines.
FlashForth works on the Curiosity Nano boards with dsPIC33CK64MP105 or PIC24FJ64GU205.
FF can compile location independent assembler primitives as inline code. The shortest of these words have the inline bit set in the word header for automatic inlining.
Individual words can be inlined by prefixing the word with INLINE.
: newrot inline rot ;
When compiling a new word that should be inlined automatically, the inline flag can be set with the word INLINED.
On the PIC24 the following words are automatically inlined by the compiler.
cwd ivt aivt [i i] ei di u1txq u1rxq drop over >r r> r@ invert negate 1+ 2+ 1- 2- 2* 2/ !p>r r>p p+ p2+ >body cell cell+ cells char+ chars 2drop 0 1 nip nfa>lfa endit rdrop bl ticks cpu_clk false true + - and or xor !p @p
On PIC24 the following words can be inlined with INLINE.
mset mclr mset bset bclr lshift rshift sp! sp@ swap rot m+ um* um/mod u/mod m* sm/rem /mod mod /
Also words defined by CONSTANT, VARIABLE, 2CONSTANT and 2VARIABLE can be inlined. They compile the constant and the variable address as inline literal code.
If you append the definition with INLINED, the compiler will later compile the constant as an inline literal.
34 constant thirtyfour inlined : native-inline-34 thirtyfour ;
Interrupt routines can be written in assembly or in Forth. FF interrupt words have to be ended with ;I .
On PIC24-30-33 and Atmega, the interrupts use the parameter stack of task that happened to be executing when the interrupt occured.
In general Forth words that normally would be used in an interrupt word are interrupt safe.
Words that start the interpreter or compile new words should not be used in an interrupt.
It is not possible to store to flash or
eeprom in an interrupt routine.
The following registers are saved on the return stack by [I and restored by I] :
PIC24: TBLPAG W13 RCOUNT PIC30: W0 W1 W2 W3 TBLPAG W13 RCOUNT PIC33: TBLPAG W13 RCOUNT
The following registers are always preserved before the interrupt word is executed:
PIC24: W0 W1 W2 W3 PIC30: PIC33: W0 W1 W2 W3
To activate the interrupt you store the interrupt word xt into the interrupt vector.
' my_irq 10 int!
The dsPIC30 interrupt vectors are stored in flash in the Alternate Interrupt Vector Table. The PIC24 and dsPIC33 interrupt vectors are stored in ram, pointed to from the Alternate Interrupt Vector Tables. The PIC24 and dsPIC33 interrupt vectors in ram are cleared at warm start, so to enable the interrupt word at startup, a initialization word must be used.
: irq_init ['] my_irq 10int! ; ' irq_init is turnkey
To use individual interrupt sources the interrupt enable bits and flag bits for each interrupt source must be used.
The return stack pointer is W15.
The parameter stack pointer is W14.
The P register uses W13
Assembly words use W0..W3.
In addition SKIP, SCAN, N= use W4 and W5.
