Static values in ROM
PostPosted: Tue Feb 10, 2009 10:44 am     Reply with quote
I'm brand new to the PIC and CCSC tools (I have over 20 years with Moto hc05 & hc11, and Cosmic compilers), so please excuse these newbie questions.

How can I store a string (that won't ever get used) in ROM? With other compilers a simple

Code:
const char copyright[]="XYZ (C) 2009";


would do the trick. But the CCSC compiler "optimizes" the code and doesn't include it in the final HEX output.

Using

Code:
#ROM 0x1ff0={'X, 'Y', 'Z', ' ', '(', 'C', ')', ' ', '2', '0', '0', '9'}


causes 4 bytes per character to be stored in ROM.

Any advice would be appreciated,

Use the 'rom' qualifier instead of const. Example:
Code:
#include <18F452.h>
#fuses XT,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,BROWNOUT,PUT,NOLVP
#use delay(clock=4000000) 

int8 rom array[] = {"123456"};
   
//====================================
void main()
{

while(1);     
}

The data is placed in high memory, at the end of ROM:
