  • Comment: value in TRISB gets written to PORTB (pic16f84)

    Logged In: YES user_id=884387 Patch 1451520 (for gpsim 0.21.11) should fix this..

  • PORTB / TRISB issue on 16F84 (8 bit register file addresses)

    This patch is against the source for GPSIM 0.21.11. It fixes the issue where only 7 of the 8 register file address bits were being passed to the GUI, resulting in incorrect display of instructions (TRISB as PORTB), and incorrect execution of instructions (values being placed in PORTB (0x06) instead of in TRISB (0x86). The patch is against gpsim 0.21.11 To apply the patch, do the...

  • Comment: TMR0 not incrementing (gpsim 0.21.11, 16F84)

    Logged In: YES user_id=884387 Note: this only seems to be an issue when I "step" through the code, but if I "run", the tmr0 field does indeed get incremented.

  • Facility to see / set the frequency on the GUI

    An facility on the gui to see / set the external clock frequency would be good. This would help with debugging / viewing timing applications (for which the frequency is probably the first thing that needs to be verified) Maybe this could be set up as a stimulus, in which case, a lot of control would be offered.

  • Facility to clear the "Simulation Time" field

    The option to clear the "Simulation Time" field would be good, especially when a "Reset" is done. This would be particularly of interest when dealing with counters, or "sleeping" for specific periods of time, for example.

  • Comment: Over starts run on goto instruction

    Logged In: YES user_id=884387 How about one of the following: 1) Disable the "Over" command for "goto" (force the user to use "step" in its place) 2) Add the breakpoint based on the target of the goto, rather than just PC+1. This way we would get the expected logical behaviour (go to the statement logically after this one, but not necessarily contiguously after it).

  • TMR0 not incrementing (gpsim 0.21.11, 16F84)

    I'm attempting to simulate an example from "PIC In Practice" (new edition). This is a straightforward example that uses TMR0 to implement a 1 second delay, by setting the prescaler to 256 (with a 32KHz crystal), and waiting for TMR0 to reach 32. This doesn't work in GPSIM, because TMR0 does not seem to increment with each instruction, so the code gets stuck in the timer loop..

  • Comment: value in TRISB gets written to PORTB (pic16f84)

    Logged In: YES user_id=884387 I have a fix for this (14 bit processors). The basic issue is that the 7 bit register file address was being passed around as if it were the full reg file address, when in fact its not (its an 8 bit reg file address). I have code changes that do the following: A - pass around the full 8 bit register file address, allowing the GUI to correctly map the...

  • Comment: value in TRISB gets written to PORTB (pic16f84)

    Logged In: YES user_id=884387 It seems that in reg-instructions.c, the register address is being decoded as a 7 bit address, and this works fine for PORTB (0x06, 0b00000110) but in the case of TRISB (0x86, 0b10000110), the leading bit of the ergister address gets lost, resulting in the same address as PORTB!! The core part of the fix seems to be to set REG_MASK_14BIT to 0xFF, to...

  • Comment: value in TRISB gets written to PORTB (pic16f84)

    Logged In: YES user_id=884387 I've noticed almost the same thing: GPSIM version 0.21.11, using 16F84. It manifests itself slightly differently for me. I have some code that looks like this: MOVLW 0xFE ;1111-1110 BSF STATUS, 5 ; move to bank 1, where TRISB resides MOVWF _TRISB ; _TRISB EQU 0x0086 Now, in the program memory view, it displays the middle instruction as "MOVWF...
