#bit/byte/Word register definitions include file

[Torello]

Hi,

OK made my own registers include file in the past. But now migration to a bigger processor, I tried to find an existing file for the PIC24FJ128GC010 family.
I Searched for like an hour but can't find anything.

Does one really make it's own CCS register definitions?
It's so cumbersome to do....

If you have the full CCS IDE version of the compiler, then go to the
Registers tab in the Device Table Editor window. There is a menu
selection to the right of the PIC name for "Make Include File". Click on it.

See this screenshot of the Device Table Editor:

As a comment though, use of address defines should be almost non-existent with CCS.

99.9% of code doesn't need them.

For the 0.1% that does, it is usually only a single register or bit that is needed. Using such defines 'routinely', suggests you are not really making use of the compiler's abilities....

For the odd bit/byte that is needed, the 'getenv' ability is the most powerful tool since it is device independant.
So:

I do agree, I don't need all of them. But some are very obvious. I don't recall a function that can check a TMRxIF bit.
And besides that, the CCS compiler and the Pic have their flaws and bugs one needs to address.
For my new Pic24LF128GC006 it looks like I have to recode a proper functioning #use delay(internal..) and/or setup_oscillator() replacement.

My previous Pic18LF4685 has a CAN bus that was not proper initialized "off" for low power sleep of the MCU...

At startup of my code, I need to know if it was due to firmware reprogramming, power-reboot, Mclr or softReset. This involves also a bunch of registers to peek/poke.

and so on...

For whatever 'x' you want....
