Reset Vector address

vihaanred — Mon, 19 Jan 2015 11:15:10 GMT

Hi,

i have the following code for reset vectors and the register ivbr = 0x7F. I am using the banking memory model

typedef void (*near tIsrFunc)(void);

const tIsrFunc ResetVectorTable[] @0x7F10 =

{

SpuriousISR,

so on;

};

The above code is for moving the vector table to the address 0x7F10. My doubt is since 0x7F10 is same as 0xFE ppage register and 0x7F10 index value.

Can i initialize the code as

typedef void (*near tIsrFunc)(void);

const tIsrFunc ResetVectorTable[] @0xFE7F10 =

{

SpuriousISR,

so on;

};

Please request to clarify my doubt.

Thanks and regards,

Vihaan

hi vhaan,

I guess you should use 8/16 bit MCU. if yes, we can only set interrupt vector at 16bit address but can't 24bit address. 8/16bit MCU interrupt vector address is 16bit range. this is defined be hardware but not MCU.

is this clarify the issue?

Have a great day,

Slight confusion. it is s12xeq512 so 16 bit MCU.

i really did not understand the statement.

In some other part of the code i have written like this

const unsigned char (test[3])@0xE18000 ={1,2,3};

to place a fixed value at th address with ppage = 0xE1 and local address = 0x8000;

Can i write the above statement? Can you please guide me what is the sequence and how to write values at particular memory addresses?

Thanks and regards

hi Vihaan,

you can define any const variable/array in 24bit paged memory, as you did

const unsigned char (test[3])@0xE18000 ={1,2,3};

this is correct.

BUT, we can't define interrupt vector table at 24bit address. because in 16bit MCU, interrupt vector is 16bit width.

does this clarify the issue?

Have a great day,
