Problems with MPASM & C
PostPosted: Thu Dec 18, 2003 3:08 am     Reply with quote

Hi folks,

Have been using CCS C for approx 2 months. Now I need to put some assembler in and cannot compile the code !
Could someone give me an idea as to what I'm doing wrong ?

I'm Using :
MPLAB v6.32
Microchip ICD2 with PICDEM 2 plus board
PIC18F452 chip installed
CCS PCWH C compiler v3.179,
All running under Windows XP professional (service pack 1) on an Athlon 1500+ PC with 320Mb ram.

This is an example of what I cannot compile. I get "Expecting an opcode mnemonic" error.

Code:
/* ASMTest.c
Test for including MPASM assembler code in CCS C */
#include <18f452.h>
#fuses NOWDT,NOPROTECT,NOLVP,NOWRT,NOEBTR
#DEVICE ICD=TRUE
#use delay (clock=4000000)

// Declare three 8 bit integers
int count;
int count2;
int result;

// Put them at RAM locations 0x420 to 0x422
#byte count=0x420
#byte count2=0x421
#byte result=0x422

void main(void)
{ count=1;
  count2=2;
   
#ASM
  // Move 4 into BSR to access Bank 4
  MOVLB 4
  // Move contents of 0x420 into WREG (1)
  MOVF 0x20, 0, 1
  // Add WREG to contents of 0x421 (2), store result (3) in WREG,
  ADDWF 0x21, 0, 1
  // Copy WREG to 0x422
  MOVWF 0x22,1
#ENDASM
}

CCS doesn't like the RAM access bit. Try this

Code:

/* ASMTest.c
Test for including MPASM assembler code in CCS C */
#include <18f452.h>
#fuses NOWDT,NOPROTECT,NOLVP,NOWRT,NOEBTR
#DEVICE ICD=TRUE
#use delay (clock=4000000)

// Declare three 8 bit integers
int count;
int count2;
int result;

// Put them at RAM locations 0x420 to 0x422
#byte count=0x420
#byte count2=0x421
#byte result=0x422

void main(void)
{ count=1;
  count2=2;
   
#ASM
  // Move 4 into BSR to access Bank 4
  MOVLB 4
  // Move contents of 0x420 into WREG (1)
  MOVF 0x20, 0
  // Add WREG to contents of 0x421 (2), store result (3) in WREG,
  ADDWF 0x21, 0
  // Copy WREG to 0x422
  MOVWF 0x22
#ENDASM
}

Worth adding, that you don't actually have to do the bank switching!.
You can code as:

#ASM
// Move contents of 0x420 into WREG (1)
MOVF count, 0
// Add WREG to contents of 0x421 (2), store result (3) in WREG,
ADDWF count2, 0
// Copy WREG to 0x422
MOVWF result
#ENDASM

The compiler supports, a sort of 'C hybrid' compiler syntax, and will automatically bank switch for you, if you use the symbolic names (in the example as given the compiler will not actually code a bank switch, since bank 4 is allready selected to initialise the variables). If you don't want this 'auto switching' to take place, add 'asis', to the #ASM directive.

Best Wishes
Mark

One more thing, if you do use the variable name and the variable is bigger than 8 bits, the syntax is

&counter+1

and not

counter+1
