Placing Data Objects in EEPROM

Started by bernd71093 November 22, 2005
Hi experts,

I want to access data in the EEPROM space 0xC00. The target is the
S12XDP512. The compiler I use is called Cosmic v4.6.

The EEPROM space definition in the linkfile looks like:
=========================================================
+seg .eeprom -b 0xC00 -o 0x13FC00 -m 1024
var_eeprom.o //my file with the eeprom data //(-b: logic adr.; -o:
memory adr.; -m 1k size) The var_eeprom.c file:
======================
@eeprom char warm_start; // EEPROM variable definition

The main.c file:
===================
extern char warm_start;
...
main{
...
warm_start++; // doing something with the eeprom data
...
} PROBLEM:
There is no access to variable "warm_start" (no read and write is
possible. The value is always the same!?!

Thanks for your support!!

Bernd,

You need to make sure your code (or the compiler initialization) is
initializing the ECLKDIV - EEPROM Clock Divider Register to the appropriate
divide value, so the EEPROM erasing and programming algorithms work well.
The appropriate ECLKDIV register setting depends on clock frequency, so the
Compiler probably needs you to specify it explicitly.

Hope this helps,

Hi,

The -b and -o values are inverted. -b is the physical address and matches
the global S12X address, and -o is the logical address.

You also need the @eeprom modifier on the extern declaration in your main.c
file.

Hello,

U r allocating ur EPROM space.I'd better suggest u go thru the manuals of the cosmic, and ur linker file. this is b'cos u will hav 2 see where u r placing ur uninitialised data. By dfault, it gets stored in the .bss section, ie ur RAM. so u won't be able to read the correct(desired )value of ur variable from EEPROM.

If u want to modify some variable, the variable which u r modifying shld be in RAM. U hav 2 modify ur linker file accordingly.
