MC9S08QE4 not running with external crystal

[soli255]

Hello, I have a problem with running my QE4 with external crystal (I have tried 11.0592MHz / 8MHz / 4MHz - different packages and manufacturers)

My code:

  ICSC2_BDIV     = 0b10;

  ICSC2_RANGE    = 1;

  ICSC2_HGO      = 1;

  ICSC2_LP       = 0;

  ICSC2_EREFS    = 1;

  ICSC2_ERCLKEN  = 0;

  ICSC2_EREFSTEN = 0;

while ( ICSSC_OSCINIT == 0 );

  ICSC1_CLKS     = 0b10;

  ICSC1_RDIV     = 3;

  ICSC1_IREFS    = 0;

  ICSC1_IRCLKEN  = 0;

  ICSC1_IREFSTEN = 0;

Problem is that program freez on while condition - crystal is not running. I use standart connection to XTAL and EXTAL pins with 22p capacitors and 1MR resistor.

Any suggestion what is wrong?

Thx

Hello,

Are you attempting to use FEE mode or FBE mode - there is some ambiguity?

For FEE mode and RDIV setting of 3 (reference division by 256), only the 8 MHz will work.  A lower division setting would be required for the 4 MHz crystal.  The 11.0592 MHz crystal is unsuited to FEE mode.

You could also try commenting out the wait loop for the OSCINIT flag.

Regards,

Mac

Hello Mac,

I am following the "Using the Internal Clock Source (ICS) for the HCS08 Microcontrollers" chapter in HCS08QRUG.pdf and I was trying to run in this FBE.

I was also using wait loop like this for ( i=0 ; i<10000 ; i++ );

And also I modified my layout and move 22p capacitors very close to crystal and each other.

But franklly i will be glad for any mode runnig with crystal - because i already try several crystals and many of code.

Thx

I just finish working on QE with 32,768kHz crystal, but another fail. Code for FEE and 32kHz here:

// Fbus = ( Fext / RDIV * 512 / BDIV ) / 2

  ICSC2_BDIV     = 0b01;  // selected clock / 2

  ICSC2_RANGE    = 0;     // low range select

  ICSC2_HGO      = 1;

  ICSC2_LP       = 0;

  ICSC2_EREFS    = 1;     // oscillator request

  ICSC2_ERCLKEN  = 0;

  ICSC2_EREFSTEN = 0;

  //for ( i=0 ; i<10000 ; i++ );

  while ( ICSSC_OSCINIT == 0 );

  ICSC1_RDIV     = 0;     // div by 1

  ICSC1_IREFS    = 0;

  ICSC1_IRCLKEN  = 0;

  ICSC1_IREFSTEN = 0;

  ICSC1_CLKS     = 0b00;  // output from FLL     

my QE is still without clock from external crystal ...

I just run my QE with 6MHz crystal in FBELP mode by this code:

// *** FBELP MODE ***

  // 6MHz Crystal

  // Fbus = ( Fext * 1 / BDIV ) / 2

  ICSC2_BDIV     = 0b00;  // selected clock / 1

  ICSC2_RANGE    = 1;     // high range select

  ICSC2_HGO      = 0;     // low power

  ICSC2_LP       = 1;     // FLL disabled

  ICSC2_EREFS    = 1;     // oscillator request

  ICSC2_ERCLKEN  = 0;

  ICSC2_EREFSTEN = 0;

  for ( i=0 ; i<1000 ; i++ );

  //while ( ICSSC_OSCINIT == 0 );

  ICSC1_RDIV     = 0b111;  //

  ICSC1_IREFS    = 0;

  ICSC1_IRCLKEN  = 0;

  ICSC1_IREFSTEN = 0;

  ICSC1_CLKS     = 0b10;  // external reference clock selected

I am still quite confused by this many modes of operation, and fact that in FBELP mode BDC should not be active, but I have full functional debuging (code step, breakpoint, periodical RAM readouts ...)
