#ROM
PostPosted: Fri Jun 28, 2013 9:54 am     Reply with quote

Hi Everyone, first time here! Very Happy

I get a warning after the second #ROM 'Memory not available at the requested location'. Should I just ignore it? Any suggestions?

Code:
#include <24EP512GU810.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>

#fuses NOWDT,PUT64,NOBROWNOUT,ICSP1,NOJTAG,NODEBUG,NOAWRT,NOAPROTECT
#fuses NOWRT,NOPROTECT,FRC_PLL,PR_PLL,NOIESO,NOPR,NOCKSNOFSM

#use delay(clock=58960000)

void main()
{
   int8 ii = 0;
   setup_oscillator(OSC_INTERNAL);

   if(ii == 0) #ROM char 0x55000 = {'R','C','O'}
   else #ROM char 0x55000 = {'r','C','O'}
}

I don't have experience with this part, but I'd probably check the data sheet to see if that address is in fact open to use.

Thanks Stinky!

It does appear as writable program memory in the data sheet. I do not get the warning if I use the #ROM at that address just once, only when repeated in the code.

It is a warning and not an error so perhaps the warning algorithm only looks for repeats but does not take context into account.

The problem is what you are doing.....

#ROM, is _not_ a program instruction. It can't be executed at run time.
It is a preprocessor directive, executed when the code is compiled.

You can't change #ROM at runtime.

You can have two versions changed when you compile:
Code:

#define II

#ifdef II
   #ROM char 0x55000 = {'R','C','O'}
#else 
   #ROM char 0x55000 = {'r','C','O'}
#endif


If you rem out the define, the second ROM directive will get compiled, but if you leave it defined, then the first will get compiled.

Best Wishes
