hmm, Compiler says you have used 61 of 48 bytes. Datasheet says 64

edit: Martin's post beat mine through the ether
and explains the issue

Did you drop the attached file into ...

C:\ProgramData\MatrixTSL\FlowcodeV8\FCD\ARD

Then change project target to "Arduino Nano 328AU"

btw. C:\ProgramData is a hidden directory

If the "Arduino Nano 328" FCD works except for the wrong clock frequency, you could try editing the FCD file and remove the text fixed="16000000" That will allow you to change the clock in the project settings If that works, then you could create your own custom FCD, copy the FCD to a new filename e...

Looks like you might have bought the wrong licence.
The 16F1824 is an 8 bit PIC and needs PIC, not PIC16

Try removing anything from Port D and reset the board whilst the attempted programming is in progress

Also is there any external C code to enable the SM32F4x MCU's internal RTC?

We currently support the RTC in the F303
I will see if I can get some time to add support for F446

Here is an example based on the datasheet. I've not tested it though. Drop this code into a C icon to initialise the watchdog. Then repeat step 6, the last line of code, at regular intervals to avoid reset. // 1. Enable the IWDG by writing 0x0000 CCCC in the IWDG_KR register. IWDG->KR = 0xCCCC; // 2...

I’ve hopefully now got something that might help. The attached updated batch file needs to be copied into directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Flowcode\Common\Compilers\starm\batch Copy any additional code, such as STM32CubeMX generated code, into your Flowcode project directory. When using STM32CubeMX...

Hi
I have added another timer, which is reset in the UART interrupt.
In the main loop, if the timer exceeds 10 seconds then the UART is re-initialised.
You can make that time period whatever is best for the system.
Just an idea, hope it helps.

Perhaps the UART is not recovering from an error.
Is the connection between the GSM module and the processor good, and not subject to noise?

Could you add a timer to determine when the interrupt has failed, then on timeout call GSM_UART::Init() and Enable RXINT2 again.

Hi,
I started working on a methodology of getting external C libraries into the ST ARM build but other priorities took over. I will try and get back to it over the next few days and see if I can come up with a workable solution.

Hi Chad
Sorry for the delay. I think this is due to a backlog on PIC development time, especially due to the impact of covid on our activities.

Could you give an example?
A Flowcode project to demonstrate the issue?
Thanks

Thanks for the update (although as an edit I initially missed it)
Could you try the following? …

In the UART_RX macro
Remove, or disable, the call to GSM_UART::Receive
Instead of it, and before the PutByte, add this in a C icon
Let me know how it goes
Thanks
Leigh

You are correct in that the PIC does not have a preference over Sink or Source, due to CMOS design
So when configured as an output, both low (0) and high (1) are active drivers
Hope that helps

Output Set to ON will the pin Souce 25mA to Vcc (5v).

Presumably you meant "Output Set to ON will the pin Souce 25mA FROM Vcc"
Which would be correct

The outputs will source or sink up to 25mA (Output high/low) This is a maximum, the PIC does not do the limiting, you still need a resistor in series to ensure 25mA is not exceeded. (At this current the PIC output is going to be less than 5v) Ah, someone else who remembers fun with NMOS processors :...

Hi
Please try the attached updated file,
to go into directory (then restart Flowcode) ...
C:\ProgramData\MatrixTSL\FlowcodeV8\FCD\ARM

I will try and sort this out for you today

Could you add a "LED flash" into the UART_RX macro?
e.g. output high at the start, output low at the end,

then monitor this and the UART Rx pin with an oscilloscope
just to check that it is the receive and interrupt that has stopped

Great, thanks for the update

I tested the code on a Nucleo64 F446RE On the board you have are there any links to change and components to remove to connect the header to PC14/15 instead of the oscillator? edit: from the Nucleo 144 datasheet ... LSE not used: PC14 and PC15 are used as GPIOs instead of low-speed clock. The config...

To accept all, just set the mask to 0 To reject all, set the mask to 0x7ff (in the case of standard IDs) and the filter to 0 e.g. SetRxMask(0,0x7ff) and SetRxFilter(0,0) A read of the Microchip CAN controller datasheet is well worth the time. You will need this to understand which mask each filter i...

Hi Karthick, Add this code into a C icon at the start of your program ... // Enable Power clock __PWR_CLK_ENABLE(); // Enable access to Backup domain HAL_PWR_EnableBkUpAccess(); // Reset Backup domain __HAL_RCC_BACKUPRESET_FORCE(); __HAL_RCC_BACKUPRESET_RELEASE(); // Disable access to Backup domain ...

If you hover your mouse over the function names of the CAN component in the Project Explorer you will see the hint text. The GetRxIDLo reads the raw device register, so see the CAN controller datasheet to see the reason for the apparent data shift. You more likely need to use GetRxIdent instead of G...
