EEPROM not compilling in 16F917 and others.

[Polanco]

Hi, when i compile to HEX a project that includes an EEPROM module, there's an error message if the project uses a 16F917 and others 16F9XX.
Changing the PIC to a classic 16F877A, everithing goes OK.
Can you help me please?

[Steve]

Hello.

Yes, there is a problem with the code generation of the EEPROM component for the 16F9xx devices. We have fixed it here, but it has not been released yet.

For now, here is a workaround. Put the following code into the "defines" box of the "supplementary code" window:

Code: Select all

#ifndef eeadr
    #define eeadr eeadrl
#endif
#ifndef eedata
    #define eedata eedatl
#endif

[Polanco]

Oh, thank you very much.
ItΒ΄s not working yet. ThereΒ΄s still one error:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrador\Escritorio\EE\Flowcode1.c(168): "#endif" outside of "#if"

What must i do then?

[Polanco]

I confused the suplementary code with the AddDefines module. Now it's working.
By the way, in my spanish version some names are in english.
Thank you very much, I really love this software.
I can make my own midi controls and guitar switching units now, customized for myself. Very nice

[Steve]

Great - I'm glad it's working now.

[Polanco]

Hi again.
That old problem is back in the new 3.4.7.48 version.
16f917 not compiles the EEPROM module.
And now the suplementary code you sent me doesn't work neither.

[Steve]

Hi,

I've just tested it here and it works fine. Remember that the code needs to go into the "defines" section of the "supplementary code" window (i.e. the top section).

[Polanco]

Yes, Steve, IΒ΄m doing that, just like before.
IΒ΄ll send you the test project.

[Polanco]

Here is a simple test. I can simulate it but doesn't compile eaven pasting the suplementary code.

[Steve]

I've just downloaded this program and it compiles fine here. Can you please also post the "C" file that is generated by your copy of FLowcode - this will help track down the problem.

[Polanco]

OK, here it goes:

Hi Polanco,

By the C file, I meant actually attach the file "C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\CONFIG~1\Temp\EEPROM TEST-1.c".

[Polanco]

Sorry Steve.

[Benj]

Hello

Please place the attached file into your Flowcode V3/Components folder and restart Flowcode. Your EEPROM code should now compile correctly.

Default - C:\Program Files\Matrix Multimedia\Flowcode V3\Components.

[Polanco]

Eureka!
Thank you Benj and Steve. ItΒ΄s working now.
