Hi 

When I look at the EEPROM values in the view menu the MPLAB IDE
I compile and program the code into my device and I see a 0x3D at memory
location zero I put in there with this code.


#pragma romdata Data_EEPROM_Sect=0xF00000
at the EEPROM memory 
rom int TestInt = 0x3D;                                         
#pragma romdata

 
Ok fine and dandy I then read and write to that location and get the
correct/expected/changed data but the value does not change in the window
even if I am single stepping through the code.
Apparently this window only shows what is in the EEPROM at startup.
Is there a way to see what I have (in the EEPROM ) during debugging?...make
it refresh or something?

Things should be as simple as possible but no simpler

Hi John
Thanks for the reply.
(Now I'm really confuzed!)
I'm more than a little fuzzy here so bear with me.
Why would you write data to the program memory bus but not program memory
its self?.....unless there was device on the program memory bus that needed
the data other than program memory?
If I look at the block diagram I don't even see a connection to the outside
world.


I thought/assumed (most likely incorrectly) that what was this function i.e.
memmoveram2pgm (and the other similar functions) did underneath was to do
TABLE reads and writes to program memory.
If you step into the function with the debugger it looks like that is what
it is doing (but I can't really tell for certain what it is doing in there
exactly)
I can't figure what these functions are for unless they do this?

Technically speaking program memory is the EEPROM?......ummm right???
I thought I only had access to a portion of it.
In this case a 18F6520 I have access/ ability to read/write to 1024 bytes on
one end?
I thought that (magically) these functions could do table reads and writes
in rest of program memory.

Thanks in advance for clearing this up for me.

The "2pgm" functions write data to the program memory bus.  They do
not write to the PIC's program memory.  If you really need to write to
the PIC's program memory, you'll have to follow the flash write
procedure outlined in your PIC's datasheet (assuming your PIC supports
this feature).

EEPROM might be a better choice.
