Configuration and Programming

ERIKA Enterprise is configured through RT-Druid and an OIL file.

The following sections describe the OIL fields customized for Microchip dsPIC33/PIC24 architecture.

MPLAB-X IDE Path

It is possible to choose the path in three different ways:

• Specific environment variables: MPLAB_X_IDE_FILES
  • E.g.: MPLAB_X_IDE_FILES=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microchip\MPLABX\v4.05
• RT-Druid Eclipse IDE Property.
• RT-Druid Configuration File Entry: preference_dspic33_pic24__path_for_mplab_x_ide
  • E.g.: preference_dspic33_pic24__path_for_mplab_x_ide=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microchip\MPLABX\v4.05

Here is an example of RT-Druid configuration file.

MPLAB XC16 C Compiler Path

It is possible to choose the path in three different ways:

• Specific environment variables: XC16_TOOLS
  • E.g.: XC16_TOOLS=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microchip\xc16\v1.33
• RT-Druid Eclipse IDE Property.
• RT-Druid Configuration File Entry: preference_dspic33_pic24__path_for_xc16_compiler
  • E.g.: preference_dspic33_pic24__path_for_xc16_compiler=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microchip\xc16\v1.33

Here is an example of RT-Druid configuration file.

CPU

CPU_DATA object must be set to DSPIC33_PIC24.

MODEL attribute of MCU_DATA supports for now the dsPIC33 value only.

Example of a CPU_DATA section:

   CPU_DATA = DSPIC33_PIC24 {
     MODEL = dsPIC33;
     ...
   };

MCU

MCU_DATA object supports for now the dsPIC33EV value only.

MODEL attribute of MCU_DATA supports for now the dsPIC33EV256GM106 value only.

Example of a MCU_DATA section:

 MCU_DATA = dsPIC33EV {
   MODEL = dsPIC33EV256GM106;
 };

BOARD

BOARD_DATA object supports for now the dsPIC33EV_SK value only.

Example of a BOARD_DATA section:

 BOARD_DATA = dsPIC33EV_SK;

Interrupt Handling

The Interrupt Handling support is microcontroller dependent. For each supported Microchip dsPIC33/PIC24 microcontroller family, the ISRs configuration of ERIKA3 is shown below.

OSEK/VDX Extensions

This Section contains information about the OSEK/VDX Extensions (or optional features) that have been implemented for the dsPIC33/PIC24 support.

System Timer

System Timer is microcontroller dependent so for each supported Microchip dsPIC33/PIC24 microcontroller family, the System Timer configuration of ERIKA Enterprise v3 is shown below.

dsPIC33EV Family

For the dsPIC33EV family of dsPIC33/PIC24 microcontrollers the System Timer is linked to Hardware Timers so the DEVICE attribute MUST be se to T1 orT2 or ... or T5 as shown below.

 COUNTER SystemTimer {
   MINCYCLE = 1;
   MAXALLOWEDVALUE = 65535;
   TICKSPERBASE = 1;
   TYPE = HARDWARE {
     DEVICE = "T1";
     SYSTEM_TIMER = TRUE;
   };
   SECONDSPERTICK = 0.001;
 };
