56F8323 How to put code into bootsector...

[Tomppi]

Hello,

I am targeting 56F8323 and ran out of PMem. I am using CW 8.2 with PE and have no Bootloader.
Can I put a part of the program into the Bootloader segment? How?

Does it need large memory model?

Thanks

Tamás

Hi,

If you're using the small memory the size of code is limited:

— Compiler generates a more efficient switch table, provided that code fits into the range 0x0—0xFFFF.

There is a table showing the memory ranges:

Section  Small Model   Large Model
  Size  Range  Size  Range

CODE
(P: memory) 128 KB  0 - 0xFFFF  1 MB  0 - 0x7FFFF
DATA
(X: memory) 128 KB  0 - 0xFFFF  32 MB  0 - 0xFFFFFF
DATA
(X: memory)
character data 64 KB  0 - 0x7FFF  16 MB  0 - 0x7FFFFF

If small memory is limited for your project, we recommend you to switch to the large.

Regards

Pascal
