how to link data in assembly data file to c code file

[kyk27]

Hi, there!

Please help me if someone knows this:

I'm programming for mpc5200b in CW mobile GT v.8.5 environment.

I added a assembly file(bitmp.asm) which has bitmap data in the project.

The contents of the file, bitmp.asm, are something like this:

.data

;public cMyPic line 1

cMyPic:  .byte  0x42,0x4D,0x5E,0x0,0x0,0x0,0x0,0x0

               .byte  0x0,0x0,0x3E,0x0,0x0,0x0,0x28,0x0

               .byte  0x0,0x0, ...

               ...

I want to use the variable name 'cMyPic' in my main function, so I defined the variable in main:

extern char cMyPic[ ];

, but it did not work.

Does anyone know how to call the 'cMyPic' variable in assembly file from c file?

Thanks,

K-Young

Perhaps your assembler file should use the symbol _cMyPic, with a leading underscore?  Many C compilers (used to?) automatically prefix C symbols with an underscore in the object files.

Thanks, Rich!

It was .public directive, not the public.

I didn't know that CW's assember include '.' before using directive.

Thanks.
