Inserting a single instruction
PostPosted: Wed Dec 22, 2010 6:00 am     Reply with quote

I'm trying to insert a single jump instruction at address 0x100. I don't want anything at 0x101. I tried:
Code:
#org 0x100
#asm
#inline
void jump_to_prog() {
   GOTO 0x300
}
#endasm

and it generates this according to the disassembly listing:
Code:

10:                #org 0x100, 0x101
11:                #inline
12:                void jump_to_prog() {
13:                   #asm
14:                   GOTO 0x300
   100    2B00     GOTO 0x300
15:                   #endasm
16:                }
   101    3400     RETLW 0


Can I prevent the RETLW instruction from being inserted?

Problem is that the syntax doesn't make sense if you think about it!...

#inline, means 'place this directly in the code sequence, without a call', but the ORG, says 'put this at this location. The latter, implies that it is called, and therefore has to have a return....

If you just want your code to jump to location 0x300, then why not just use 'goto_address(0x300)', this will be coded directly 'inline' where used, and will take you straight to the required address. If you want a NOP after the jump, then just put a delay_cycles(1) there.

I put the #inline there to prevent any function calls being done to this function. I don't actually want a function there, I just want this particular instruction on this exact address. Also, I want specifically nothing after this instruction, not a NOP. Flashing the compiled hex file should result in 0x101 not being touched. Can I do that?

You can put a word at a location, by just using a #ROM.
So:

#ROM 0x100={0x2B00}

Will generate the instruction you want. However '0x101', _will_ be affected, since this is the second byte of the instruction. 0x102, won't. Remember PIC instructions on a PIC16, are 14bits wide. Both address 100, and 101, are part of the one instruction....

Depends...

I'm going to assume you're using an 18F part?

With the 18F, the GOTO is a 2 WORD instruction.

Yes. that 32bits!

The second instruction starts with a F which is a NOP but carries 12bits of address from the previous instruction. So with the 18F's, you can't have a goto that doesn't have a following NOP. Otherwise the destination address wouldn't cover the whole 21bit address range of some 18F's. (-1 bit because each location is 2 words, so the goto is word-aligned.)

Because you didn't mention which CPU you're using... You'll want to look at the instruction summary in the datasheet for your CPU.

This solves my issue, thanks guys. By the way: I meant the 0x101th word on a PIC16.
