Putting bytes in rom in an easy human readable fashion
PostPosted: Fri Oct 21, 2005 9:31 am     Reply with quote
Hi

I want to store data, such as IP addresses at a fixed location in program memory that is both in a human readable fashion and memory efficient.

In MPASM I would do this:
Code:

MIP   DB   230, 10, 10, 11   ; IP address 230.10.10.11


But DB is not supported by the CCS assembler.

I know I can do this in CCS but it is unreadable:
Code:

#rom MIP       = {230 | (10 <<8), 10 | (11 <<8)} // 230.10.10.11


Ideas welcome...

It seems that MIP is a 2 16 bit variables. Why not 4 bytes?

Because then the compiler consumes 8 bytes of rom space.

You can use "#rom int8 address =" to store packed bytes. Example:

Thanks - much more readable. I searched old posts but obviously missed it.
