PIC18F46J11 Reset problem
PostPosted: Fri Feb 12, 2010 1:12 pm     Reply with quote

Hi!

I'm working on a project using PIC18F46J11 MCU, everything goes good but the micro keeps resetting after 2 minutes and 50 seconds(about). I tried playing around with fuses, taking some out but I still get the same problems.
The MCU is well decoupled with .1u caps. There is no WDT enabled. Any idea would be well appreciated.
thanks !

Post a very small test program that shows the problem. For example,
you could have a program that displays "Hello World" on a terminal,
and then have it stop in a continuous while(1) loop at the end of main().
If the program is resetting, it will display "Hello World" over and over
again, every 2 minutes and 50 seconds.

Try that and post the results.

The program that you post must be small, and it must compile with
no errors.

Also post your compiler version.

Thanks for your help!
OK i made a small project using the same hardware (same PCB)
Code:
void main {
  fprintf(UART1,"RESETTING !!!");
  while (TRUE) {
    fprintf(UART1,"LOOPING !");
    delay_ms(1000);
  }
}


And the same thing happened after 2 mins 50 secs i see RESETTING !!!
Im a bit confused it looks like a hardware problem but why does it reset
at same interval each time, Thanks

You posted a code fragment. Post a complete, compilable program.
To be compilable, it must have an #include, #fuses, #use delay,
#use rs232
, etc., statements.

And also this:

Also post your compiler version.

OK i compiled the same little program on machine that is running ver 4.104
of the compiler and i didnt get no reset of the MCU. I guess it was something
with the compiler at ver 4.099. Anybody have an idea of why ???

I installed vs. 4.099 and compiled your program, and ran it on a 18F24J11
on a PicDem2-Plus board. I don't have a 18F46J11, but the 18F24J11 is
in the same family. It worked. I changed the loop delay to be every
60 seconds (1 second was too short). Here is the display after several
minutes:

RESETTING !!!LOOPING !LOOPING !LOOPING !LOOPING !LOOPING !
LOOPING !LOOPING !LOOPING !LOOPING !LOOPING !

This is with vs. 4.099.

Thanks PCM_Programmer, anyway it works for me using the last version
of the compiler, it is possible that there was an issue with this device(18F46j11) because it's a recent one, i don't know, but i would like to.
I will get a 18F24j11 device to try. thanks again!
