Hey!

I can't figure out how change from default Arduino 10 (SS), 11 (MOSI), 12 (MISO), and 13 (SCK). to 4, 5, 6, 7 to match The Mighty 1284p ?
 Anyone ?

[Reply #1 on:]

I figured out it was located in pins_arduino.h

Code:

static const uint8_t SS   = 4;
static const uint8_t MOSI = 5;
static const uint8_t MISO = 6;
static const uint8_t SCK  = 7;

But, i still can't get any basic Ethernet examples to work, it just hang. I've tried with 4 different 1284p, no love.

What Ethernet card/board are you using and how is it connected?

Nick,
Pretty much straightforward set-up. It works with any atmega i have here but not the 1284p, go figure. I've tried all week.

I use an Ethernet Shield (no SD) and i power it with 3.3 v, connect the ground of course. Then, i wire pins 10, 11, 12 and 13 to the 1284p 4, 5, 6, 7  like this 10->4, 11->5, 12->6, 13->7
The 1284p operates correctly until it hit line Ethernet.begin(mac)
It freeze right there.

Like i said, i do the same thing for months with other megas and it is all fine.
FYI, i've also tried Jeelabs Ethercard, using ethercard library, diferents SS_pin but same problem. Again, works fine with other megas.

Thanks for the help.

Do you mean the pins on the chip?

You appear to be out by one in each case. (SS is pin 5 not pin 4).

Actually, i was referring to D4, D5, D6, D7 

Anyone here has Ethernet working on Mighty 1284p ?

[Reply #6 on:]

Can you post the exact sketch you are trying? In code tags.

[Reply #7 on:]

All sketch from the Ethernet examples. Basic stuff.
Arduino 1.0, 1.0.1 on either Windows7 or Mac OS X latest

I'm very confused at this point, i  manage to find solution all by myself most of the time, must be a silly thing hanging there.

Looking at w5100.h:

Code:

private:
#if defined(__AVR_ATmega1280__) || defined(__AVR_ATmega2560__)
  inline static void initSS()    { DDRB  |=  _BV(4); };
  inline static void setSS()     { PORTB &= ~_BV(4); };
  inline static void resetSS()   { PORTB |=  _BV(4); };
#elif defined(__AVR_ATmega32U4__)
  inline static void initSS()    { DDRB  |=  _BV(6); };
  inline static void setSS()     { PORTB &= ~_BV(6); };
  inline static void resetSS()   { PORTB |=  _BV(6); };
#elif defined(__AVR_AT90USB1286__) || defined(__AVR_AT90USB646__) || defined(__AVR_AT90USB162__)
  inline static void initSS()    { DDRB  |=  _BV(0); };
  inline static void setSS()     { PORTB &= ~_BV(0); };
  inline static void resetSS()   { PORTB |=  _BV(0); };
#else
  inline static void initSS()    { DDRB  |=  _BV(2); };
  inline static void setSS()     { PORTB &= ~_BV(2); };
  inline static void resetSS()   { PORTB |=  _BV(2); };
#endif

They don't seem to have a define for the Atmega1284 and the default would appear to be incorrect for you.

[Reply #9 on:]

maniacbug's 1284 core files don't cover that?
He's been pretty thorough with those.

[Reply #10 on:]

I don't know. I just looked in w5100.h which is part of the Ethernet library.

[Reply #11 on:]

Nothing else we can do ? 

[Reply #12 on:]

Don't ignore reply #8.

[Reply #13 on:]

Try changing, in the code I posted:

Code:

#if defined(__AVR_ATmega1280__) || defined(__AVR_ATmega2560__)
  inline static void initSS()    { DDRB  |=  _BV(4); };
  inline static void setSS()     { PORTB &= ~_BV(4); };
  inline static void resetSS()   { PORTB |=  _BV(4); };

to:

Code:

#if defined(__AVR_ATmega1280__) || defined(__AVR_ATmega2560__) || defined(__AVR_ATmega1284P__)
  inline static void initSS()    { DDRB  |=  _BV(4); };
  inline static void setSS()     { PORTB &= ~_BV(4); };
  inline static void resetSS()   { PORTB |=  _BV(4); };

I didn't look further than that. However it appears that the 1284P is not catered for in w5100.h. Maybe search for similar things in the Ethernet library.

[Reply #14 on:]

Well i did change the lines inside w5100.h but it still doing the same.
Feels like i don't know what i'm doing. :-)
