This is my first try at ATTINY1604 serial communication.
I'm testing out the hardware and software serial communications by sending 4 bytes at 38400 baud.
(one gets remarked out while testing the other)

Problem 1:
Printbin sends proper message, except at 600 baud (regardless of baud in Config Com1)

Problem 2:
Serout doesn't do anything (pin starts low, stays low)


Is there something simple I'm overlooking?


Thanks much!


Code:
$regfile = "atxtiny1604.dat"                                ' ATTINY1604
Config Sysclock = 16_20mhz , Prescale = 2 : $crystal = 10000000       ' 10 Mhz
Config Submode = New

$baud = 38400
Config Com1 = 38400 , Parity = None , Stopbits = 1 , Databits = 8 , Baud_offset = None , Txpin = Alt1_pa1       ' RS485 port
Config Print = Porta.3 , Mode = Set                         ' RS485 TX enable
' Config Serialin = Buffered , Size = 4                       ' RS485 port Rx buffer
' Config Serialout = Buffered , Size = 4                      ' RS485 port Tx buffer
' $timeout = 1000000                                          ' serial port timeout

$hwstack = 40                                               ' hardware stack size
$swstack = 40                                               ' software stack size
$framesize = 100                                            ' frame size

'Port A
Config Porta = &B00111010
Tx0 Alias Porta.1
Rx0 Alias Pina.2
Tx0_enable Alias Porta.3 : Reset Tx0_enable

Dim Rx0_buffer(4) As Byte
Dim Tx0_buffer(4) As Byte

' test message
Tx0_buffer(1) = &HFF
Tx0_buffer(2) = &H00
Tx0_buffer(3) = &HFF
Tx0_buffer(4) = &H00

Enable Interrupts

Main_loop:                                                  

   Printbin Tx0_buffer(1) , 4                               ' transmit message (hardware)

'   Set Tx0_enable                                          
'   Disable Interrupts
'      Serout Tx0_buffer(1) , 4 , Porta , 1 , 38400 , 0 , 8 , 1       ' transmit message (software)
'   Enable Interrupts
'   Reset Tx0_enable                                        

Wait 1

Goto Main_loop

1: you best use a simple sample. i always start with the real simple serial.bas

Code:
'name                     : serial.bas
'copyright                : (c) 1995-2021, MCS Electronics
'purpose                  : demonstrates USART
'micro                    : xtiny816
'suited for demo          : no
'commercial addon needed  : yes
'--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$regfile = "atXtiny816.dat"
$crystal = 20000000
$hwstack = 16
$swstack = 16
$framesize = 24

'set the system clock and prescaler
Config Sysclock = 16_20MHZ , Prescale = 1

'configure the USART
Config Com1 = 115200 , Mode = Asynchroneous , Parity = None , Databits = 8 , Stopbits = 1

'dimension a variable
Dim B As Byte

Print "Test USART"

Do
   Print "Hello" ; Spc(3) ; B
   Waitms 1000
   Incr B
Loop

End


- note that $baud is not recommend any longer. you best use config com
- you can try with the default pin used for output but the alternative pin should work equal well
- always establish if the frequency specified with $crystal is actually the running freq. (look up other posts that toggle portb)
- try to leave out other commands and configurations

2: make sure you have an updated version of the add on that matches 2084. in lib manager the lib history will show ; history = 2084.001, serin/serout support added
an update you can get from register.mcselec.com
you can also use 2084 option update for add ons (update addon)

removed $baud, kept config com1

same results on PB2, PA1

1. fuse is set for 20Mhz
2. I setup a 38Khz 50% wave based on 20Mhz/Prescale=2 and verified output is 38Khz/50%

Code:
Config Tcb0 = Pwm , Prescale = 2 , Run = On , Ccmp_output = Enabled
Tcb0_ccmp = 17026   ' 66, 131

did that as much as possible

XTINY 2.0.8.4

RESULTS:

Printbin and Print output correct data on both pins at 600bps regardless of Config Com1 baud setting.
Serout outputs correct data at correct baud rate on both pins.

Maybe a bad chip???

Thanks, Mark.

as simple as possible means also without the interrupt and buffered mode.
you have a problem with the uart right? so the best thing is to start with the simple mode as i posted before.

then when it is still the same, print the hex values (in the simulator) of the USART registers.
USART0_BAUDH
USART0_BAUDL
USART0_CTRLA
USART0_CTRLB
USART0_CTRLC


and give more info about your hardware. and the programmer you use.

when serout works it means you are using the right clock settings.
odd is that there is a factor 16 between baud and actual baud

I remarked out Config Serout0 and Enable Interrupts, same result

simulator results:
USART0_BAUDH = &h00
USART0_BAUDL = &h00
USART0_CTRLA = &h00
USART0_CTRLB = &hC0
USART0_CTRLC = &h03

Atmel ICE programmer (2x3 50mil header)
Microchip Studio
PCB schematic attached

not quite the case: all baud rates (38400, 19200, 9600) all put out 600bps


In light of the sim values above, I added this line before Main_loop:
Code:
Usart0_baud = 1042                                          ' 38400 bps
' Usart0_baud = 4167                                          ' 9600 bps
' Usart0_baud = 2083                                          ' 19200 bps


Serial port is now working for all baud rates.

you forgot to specify the mode : Mode = Asynchroneous
if you do not specify mode the baud will not be set.

I assumed I could leave out options that don't need to change - asynch is the default setting for the Control C register.
Never assume anything !!!

Thanks for the help !!

yes normally that would be true and it is for almost all parameters.
but since the mode is important for the baud calculation, it must be provided.

and from the help for config com xtiny :

It is preferred to use CONFIG COM instead of using $BAUD.

[PICTURE notice.jpg]It is important that you specify all parameters of CONFIG COM. Do not omit one. The only optional parameter is TXPIN for the alternative TX pin.
