Constant Data Table in ROM- 2 Dimensions?
PostPosted: Tue Dec 27, 2005 6:54 am     Reply with quote

Hi

I would like to place a 2d array into ROM. It is a constant array, can someone please tell me how to do this?

(When I define it as int P[10][7] some of the data gets mixed up, and I do not know why).

Thank you in advance
a.

I tried compiling this:

Code:

#include <18F458.h>
#fuses HS,WDT128,PROTECT,NOLVP,PUT
#case

int const table[4][3] = {{1,2,3}, {4,5,6}, {7,8,9}, {0xa, 0xb, 0xc}};

void main(void)
{
    int x;

    x = 10;
}


And it does compile. I tried printing out the .hex file and disassembly listing, but i couldn't find any pattern of "1,2,3,4,5,6" anywhere in it, so i guess it is stored in some cryptic way. If you have hyperterminal hooked up to a unit, why don't you try printf'ing "table[2, 2]" and it should be giving you the value '9' (i think).

The compiler will only put the const array into ROM if you put in
a line of C code to access the array. Even then, if you access the
array with constant indexes (such as table[0][0]), the compiler
will optimize that fetch into a MOVLW statement and it won't put the
entire array into ROM. If you want to see the entire array put
into ROM, you must use a variable for at least one of the indexes.
Then edit the .H file for your PIC, and comment out the #nolist
statement at the top. Re-compile and look at the .LST file.

Example:
Code:
#include <18F452.h> 
#fuses XT,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,PUT,BROWNOUT,NOLVP
#use delay(clock=4000000)
#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7, ERRORS)

int const table[4][3] = {{1,2,3}, {4,5,6}, {7,8,9}, {0xa, 0xb, 0xc}};

//=============================
void main()
{
int8 x;
int8 i;

x = table[i][0];   // Use a variable for one of the indexes

while(1);
}


Here is the top part of the .LST file for the program above.
Code:
0000:  GOTO   0020
.... #include <18F452.h>   
.... /// Standard Header file for the PIC18F452 device ////
.... #device PIC18F452
0004:  CLRF   FF7
0006:  ADDLW  14
0008:  MOVWF  FF6
000A:  MOVLW  00
000C:  ADDWFC FF7,F
000E:  TBLRD*+
0010:  MOVF   FF5,W
0012:  RETURN 0
0014:  DATA 01,02      // Here is the array data.
0016:  DATA 03,04
0018:  DATA 05,06
001A:  DATA 07,08
001C:  DATA 09,0A
001E:  DATA 0B,0C
.................... //#nolist
