problem with Picdem LCD2
PostPosted: Sun Jul 12, 2009 12:25 pm     Reply with quote

I have just purchased a PICDEM LCD2 board.
The processor is a PIC18F85J90
I am evaluating different compilers for a project. I am new to the CCS compiler.
Code I wrote is below and when I select backplane COM1 it comes back with an error saying function lcd_symbol() not defined.
When I hover over lcd_symbol(0xff,digit_f1); it says lcd_symboldelay().
Any ideas what is wrong?

If I set COM to COM0 it compiles but does not run.

Code:

#include <18F85J90.h>
#device ICD=TRUE
#device adc=8

The code that you posted compiles OK with vs. 4.084. Post the code
that fails, so I can duplicate the problem.

I have changed the example 92LCD to below;

I have rechecked and the version I have is 4.068 not 4.084.

Comes back with the following:

*** Error 112"test_92LCD.c " Line 81 (1,1): function used but not defined

If I miss out the last delay_ms(100):

it works.
Code:

#include <18f85j90.h>
#fuses HS,NOWDT
#use delay(clock=20000000)

It only appears to be a problem with the 18F85J90.

Changing to another micro seems to work.

Also it fails with the delay_ms() line.

Chaning to delay_uS(100) is OK.

I think there's a bug in the lcd_symbol() function with the 18F85J90.
Quote:
lcd_symbol(segments, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 155);

If any of the segment parameters is greater than 155, it causes an
"access violation" on my system. '155' corresponds to COM3, seg12.
Anything higher causes an error. The segments can go up to seg47,
so clearly this is a limitation that shouldn't be there.

It's possible that in the PC-based compiler code that handles the
lcd_symbol() function, CCS did not allocate enough memory for an
array. If you try to compile code that has a segment value that's greater
than 155, it exceeds the boundary of the array and this causes
an "Access violation in Module PCH.DLL" error in Windows.
So I think it's a compiler bug. They may not have tested lcd_symbol()
with the 18F85J90 sufficiently. I emailed CCS a bug report on this.
I tested this with PCH vs. 4.093.

Update: CCS says this bug will be fixed in the next release, which
presumably will be vs. 4.094, or maybe 4.100.

I must develop a project with PIC18F85J90 but I'm a little worried about this topic.
Is the ver. 4.099 ok about this ? I have the ver 4.059 and I must buy the newer 4.099.

Can you send me a copy of PIC18F85j90.h file ?
Tks a lot

It doesn't crash. It compiles OK with vs. 4.099. But I don't have a
LCD board to test it with, so I don't know if the code actually works.
There could still be other bugs.

We're not allowed to do that. It won't make any difference, anyway.
The problem with the crashing is in the PCH.DLL file for vs. 4.093 and earlier.
