A C implementation of the OSCCAL algorithm in Atmel's App Note AVR053
Atmel's AVR MCUs have internal oscillators that come factory-calibrated with a 10% tolerance. Applications using the internal oscillator and requiring an accurate clock should calculate a new calibration value given in-circuit voltage and temperature conditions.
App Note AVR053 describes a protocol
for doing this automatically with the ISP interface. This is an implementation
in C, for convenience and portability. It may be used in conjunction with
either avrdude
or atprogram
(part of Atmel Studio) for the actual
calibration.
For maximum portability, this implementation follows the recommendations of AVR053 in avoiding interrupts and using the 8-bit timer, which should allow it to run on any AVR device.
This code is under the BSD-2-Clause license.
Edit the constants at the top of the makefile. Then run:
make
make install
make calibrate
The calculated OSCCAL value will be stored in EEPROM at address 0x00. Note
that the EESAVE
fuse must be set, or it will be erased as soon as you flash
your final code.
Your final code should then read EEPROM address 0x00 during startup and write it to OSCCAL.
