This is a silly thing I have run out of ideas on.... Th define EE contents in code I have always used the following org 0x2100 ; address 0 of ee dt 0f0h,0fh,b'01010101' ; F0,0F,55... ect For some reason on this chip when using abs code it fails with this error:- Error - section '.org_3' can not fit the absolute section. Section '.org_3' start=3D0x00002100, length=3D0x00000002 >From the help I know that the base address is right and it doesn't fail until the dt is line is compiled. I have used the same code for years on '877 ect and these don't fail.
