Just starting out with pics after playing with basic stamp2
Could anyone briefly explain what files and directives are essential to a=
=20
project
I have an assortment of chips but would like to start with a 12c509a and=20
then go to perhaps a 16f628 after I've done a couple of projects with it.
I have run through the quickstart tut452 in mplab7.3 setting up the proje=
ct=20
and editing(cutting and pasting) the port manipulation code building and=20
watching simulating etc.
So I basically understand how to use the simulator and would like to=20
practice with it first. To learn assembly proper before "burning" anythin=
g.
The trouble I am having is apart from understanding how to start writing =
the=20
code. The template and linker files provided often don't build.
Like I tried starting with the 12c509a.asm template and linker files they=
=20
actually built when tested but then tried running the register clearing c=
ode=20
on p20 of the datasheet(indexed addressing)
but after setting up the gp registers in the address space(10h-1Fh) with=20
some values and running the code it appears to do nothing. Aside from the=
=20
frustrations of trying something simple and failing I have since tried wi=
th=20
the supplied f84a template and linker which just won't build even without=
=20
any code added. And I have also tried using other sample codes from the n=
et=20
which appear to not work perhaps because of differences between the edito=
r=20
and compilers used.
So simply put to start from scratch for simple code I would like to run a=
nd=20
watch registers affects etc.
What is necesary in the .asm file for it to work?
The linker file appears not to be necesary unless multiple files are adde=
d=20
to the project, is this correct?
I've been banging my head over this and at times cursed and thought of go=
ing=20
back to my familiar stamp even though I have always wanted to become adde=
pt=20
at assembly.
