osccon statement causes compile to hex failure

[gtc]

Flowcode v6.1.2.0

Chip: PIC 12F617 (Internal 4/8MHz oscillator)

Adding the C code:

osccon = 0x70; // 8MHz clock speed

... causes the BoostC compiler to fail with the infamous and always unhelpful "error code 1" message.

The osccon statement is being inserted correctly into the generated C code.

If I disable the C Code icon, the hex compilation completes without error.

(PS: The comment "// 8MHz clock speed" makes no difference on the failure outcome whether it is present or not)

Where in the data sheet did you find the OSCCON register?


(Hint, this chip is missing this register, clock related settings are available in the configuration)

Thanks, that would explain it.

Guess I'm too used to PIC16F chips!
