1、 AT89C51 In-Circuit Programming出处:Atmel Corporating This application note illustrates the in-circuit programmability of the Atmel AT89C51 Flash-based microcontroller. Guidelines for the addition of in-circuit programmability to AT89C51 applications are presented along with an application example and
2、 the modifications to it required to support in-circuit programming. A method is then shown by which the AT89C51 microcontroller in the application can be reprogrammed remotely, over a commercial telephone line. The circuitry described in this application note supports five volt programming only, re
3、quiring the use of an AT89C51-XX-5. The standard AT89C51 requires 12 volts for programming. The software for this application may be obtained by downloading from AtmelsGeneral ConsiderationsCircuitry added to support AT89C51 incircuit programming should appear transparent to the application when pro
4、gramming is not taking place. EA/VPP must be held high during programming. In applications which do not utilize external program memory, this pin may be permanently strapped to VCC. Applications utilizing external program memory require that this pin be held low during normal operation. RST must be
5、held active during programming. A means must be provided for overriding the application reset circuit, which typically asserts RST only briefly after power is applied.PSEN must be held low during programming, but must not be driven during normal operation.ALE/PROG is pulsed low during programming, b
6、ut must not be driven during normal operation.During programming, AT89C51 I/O ports are used for the application of mode select, addresses and data, possibly requiring that the controller be isolated from the application circuitry. How this is done is application dependent and will be addressed here
7、 only in general terms.Port Used for InputDuring programming, the controller must be isolated from signals sourced by the application circuitry. A buffer with threestate outputs might be inserted between the application circuitry and the controller, with the buffer outputs three-stated when programm
8、ing is enabled. Alternately, a multiplexer might be used to select between signal sources, with signals applied to the controller by either the application circuitry or the programmer circuitry.Port Used for OutputNo circuit changes are required if the application circuitry can tolerate the state ch
9、anges which occur at the port during programming. If the prior state of the application circuitry must be maintained during programming, a latch might be inserted between the controller and the application circuitry. The latch is enabled during programming, preserving the state of the application ci
10、rcuitry. An Application ExampleThe AT89C51 application shown in Figure 1 is an implementation of a moving display. This application was selected for its simplicity and ability to show graphically the results of in-circuit reprogramming. The text to be displayed is programmed into the controller as p
11、art of its firmware, and cannot be changed without reprogramming the device.The displayed text is presented in one of two modes selected by the four-position DIP switch. In the first mode, one character at a time enters the display from the right and moves quickly to the left through each element of
12、 the display to its final position in the assembled message. In the second mode, the message moves through the display, from right to left, with the display acting as a window onto the message. This mode is familiar as the method often used in displays of stock prices.The output consists of four DL1
13、414T, four-digit, 17-segment alphanumeric displays with integral decoders and drivers. This yields 16 total display elements, each capable of displaying digits 0-9, the upper case alphabet, and some punctuation characters. The displayable character codes are ASCII 20H-5FH.A power-on reset circuit an
14、d a 6-MHz crystal oscillator complete the application. Neither external program memory nor external data memory is used.Modifications to the Application to SupportIn-Circuit Programming Figure 2 shows the application modified for in-circuit programming. It is assumed that the programmer, when inacti
15、ve, will neither drive nor excessively load the application. Since the application does not use external program memory, EA/VPP on the controller is connected to VCC. This meets the requirement for programming.The reset circuit has been modified by the addition of twotransistors, which allow RST on
16、the controller to be forced high by the programmer.PSEN and ALE/PROG, unused in the basic application, areunder the direct control of the programmer.Programming requires programmer access to all of the four AT89C51 I/O ports, as documented in the data sheet. The programmer is connected directly to t
17、hose controller pins which are unused by the application, while access to pins used by the application requires special treatment, as explained in the following paragraphs. The least significant four bits of the address generated by the programmer are multiplexed onto port one of the controller with
18、 the data from the DIP switch. Note that the four resistors added at the switch are not required in the basic application, since the AT89C51 provides internal pull-ups on port one.During the normal operation of the application, controller ports zero and two provide data and control signals (respecti
19、vely) to the displays. During programming and program verification, the programmer asserts control of port zero and part of port two. The programmer is connected to ports zero and two without buffering, since, when inactive, its presence does not affect the normal operation of the application.A tran
20、sparent latch has been added between port two of the controller and the display control inputs. The latch holds the display control signals inactive during programming, which eliminates erratic operation of the displays due to programmer activity on ports zero and two. No isolation ofthe display dat
21、a inputs is required, since data applied to the inputs is ignored when the control signals are inactive.The AT89C51 reset circuit, input multiplexer and output latch are controlled by a single signal generated by the programmer. During programming, reset is asserted, the multiplexer switches inputs,
22、 and the latch freezes the display control lines.To ensure that the display control lines are in a known state before they are latched, an AT89C51 external interrupt is used to allow the programmer to signal the application before asserting reset. The application firmware responds to the interrupt b
23、y displaying a message and deactivating the display control lines.After programming, when reset is deasserted, the controller ports are high as the latch becomes transparent. Since the display control inputs are inactive high, the display contents are not disturbed until the new program writes the d
24、isplay. Although not essential to this application, it might be imperative in some applications that the state of the peripheral circuitry not be disturbed during programming.The ProgrammerThe programmer (Figure 3) generates the addresses, data and control signals necessary to program the AT89C51 em
25、bedded in the application. The programmer circuitry consists of an AT89C51 and an RS-232 level translator. The controller runs at 11.0592 MHz, which allows the serial port to operate at a number of standard baud rates. A Maxim MAX232 line driver/receiver produces RS-232 levels at the serial interfac
26、e while requiring only a five volt supply.Many of the signals generated by the programmer are connected directly, without buffering, to the AT89C51 in the application. These signals, when inactive, are not threestated, but are pulled high. The AT89C51 has internal pull-ups of approximately three Koh
27、ms on ports one, two and three. Because port zero does not have internal pull-ups, external pull-ups of ten Kohms have been added to permit proper operation of program verification mode. The sample application operates correctly in this environment. If required for compatibility with an application,
28、 programmer signals may be buffered with three-state buffers similar to the 74xx125.The AT89C51 in the programmer does not utilize external program or data memory, which would require sacrificing needed I/O pins. This requires that program code and I/O buffers be kept small enough to fit in on-chip
29、memory.Remote Programming Over a CommercialTelephone LineThe programmer and display application described previously are connected to a phone line via a modem at a remote site. Using a personal computer with a modem, a user can upload a new program containing a new message, which is programmed into
30、the AT89C51 embedded in the application. When programming is complete, the application executes the new program, which displays the new message.Local StationThe local station in the test configuration consists of an IBM PC AT-class computer connected to a Hayes-compatible, Prometheus 1200 baud modem
31、. The modem was selected because it was inexpensive and available. A faster modem may be used if desired, although once the file transmission time is reduced below one minute, further reductions in transmission time do not further reduce connect time charges. A possible advantage to higher transmiss
32、ion speeds is the automatic error detection and correction available in some high speed modems.Procomm Plus version 2.01, a commercial data communications package, is used to configure the modem, set up communications parameters, and establish a link with the remote modem. Procomm Plus includes a ma
33、cro language called ASPECT, which allows the user to write and compile scripts which implement custom file transfer protocols. A simple ASPECT script was written to read the contents of a program file and upload it to the remote programmer.The file transfer protocol (FTP) implemented is a simple sen
34、d-and-wait, packet-oriented protocol. The transmit and receive modes of the FTP are illustrated by the flowcharts in figures 4 and 5, respectively. The transmitter sends each packet without flow control and waits for a response. The programmer (the receiver) reads and dissects the packet while calcu
35、lating a checksum. If the calculated checksum is valid, the programmer acknowledges the packet by sending an ACK. If the checksum is in error, the programmer negatively acknowledges the packet by sending a NAK. Upon receipt of an ACK, the transmitter sends the next packet. If the transmitter receive
36、s a NAK, it resends the same packet. Transmission proceeds in this manner until the entire file has been transferred.The programmer might respond to a packet by sending a CAN, which indicates that a non-recoverable error has occurred and that the transmitter should immediately abort the file transfe
37、r. If the programmer fails to respond to a packet within a limited period of time, the transmitter will resend the same packet. The transmitter will continue to resend the same packet until a valid response is received or until the allowed number of attempts is exceeded, at which time the file trans
38、fer is aborted. After each packet is received and validated by the programmer, the data contained in the packet is programmed into the AT89C51 controller in the application. After programming, the data is read back from the controller and verified against the received packet data. Successful verific
39、ation indicates successful programming, causing the programmer to send ACK to the transmitter. If programming fails, the programmer sends CAN to signal the transmitter to abort the file transfer.The simplicity of the FTP reduces the amount of AT89C51 program memory used in the programmer. The send-a
40、ndwait nature of the FTP allows inter-packet delays due to AT89C51 program and erase times to be easily absorbed. Support for program verification is transparent, requiring no explicit command or result codes, or additional data transfers.The files which are uploaded to the programmer are created wi
41、th the tools in the Intel MCS-51 Software Development Package for the IBM PC. Included in the package are the MCS-51 Macro Assembler, MCS-51 Relocator and Linker, and a useful utility, OH. OH converts an absolute 8051 object file to an equivalent ASCII hexadecimal object file.The records in the hex
42、file produced by the OH utility serve, unchanged, as the packets in the FTP described above; no service fields need to be added. The colon which begins each record serves as the packet signature field. The load address field serves as the packet sequence number. A checksum is provided as the last fi
43、eld in each record. Since seven-bit ASCII coding is utilized, the eighth bit of each byte is available to be used for parity checking.Because the AT89C51 in the programmer does not utilize external data memory, necessary packet buffering must be done using internal RAM. Limited memory precludes the
44、use of conventional FTPs which utilize packets of 128 bytes and larger. The hex packet format used in this application limits packet data fields to 16 or fewer entries, requiring little memory for buffering.The ready availability of a utility for creating the packetized program file, combined with s
45、mall packet size and adequate error checking, makes the hex packet format a near ideal solution for this application. A disadvantage is the use of ASCII, which requires each program data byte to be expressed as two hex characters. This demands that nearly twice as many bytes be transferred as might
46、otherwise be required. This is not a severe limitation, however, since typical file transfer times are less than one minute. Overall, the simplicity of the custom FTP/hex packet format implementation outweighs the drawbacks.51单片机在编程电路中的应用本应用指南说明了Atmel AT89C51是可在线可编程的微控制器。它为电路编程提出了相应的例子,程序的修改需要在线编程的支
