Declaring Variables Directly into External EEPROM

[misperry]

Hello all,

I have a quick question that I am unable to find the answer to. I was wondering if there is a way to basically declare a variable whose data location will not be local to the PIC chip that you are declaring it on but rather to an external eeprom memory chip.

I am using a 24lc64 chip with the ccs c 24lc64.c driver. This is the I2C chip and it works great with the write_ext_eeprom() and read_ext_eeprom() commands.

However, I was just wondering if there was a simple way to use these commands, or something similar, to have when I declare a variable, i.e. int num, that the data that I put into the variable "num" will be stored on the external eeprom instead of the PIC's mem?

I am just running out of space in my coding and need to free some stuff up and I know that would free a ton of space.

if anyone has any ideas it would be great to hear some.

Thanks to everyone!

Look into the function addressmod. It is made specifically for this purpose.
