Error messages

[mombasa]

I ask you help please, when I try to launch ICD COMPILE PROGRAM microcode STUDIO PLUS use with PBP Pro 2.6 and MPASMWINI get the following error messages:

ERROR: Macro WRITEADDRESS? B not found in macro file.
ERROR: Macro WRITE? B not found in macro file.
ERROR: Macro WRITEADDRESS? C not found in macro file.
ERROR: Macro WRITEADDRESS? W not found in macro file.
ERROR: Macro READADDRESS? C not found in macro file.
ERROR: Macro READ? B not found in macro file.
ERROR: Macro READADDRESS? B not found in macro file.
ERROR: Macro READ? W not found in macro file.
ERROR: Macro READADDRESS? W not found in macro file.

May I know what's going on? Thanks and regards

Which PIC are you using?

Does it have any EEPROM onboard?
Some PIC's don't have any, and will give those errors.

Darrel, thanks for your answer, it is my honor and great pleasure that you interest to my problem, so I learned a lot from your routine that have enriched our much loved PICBASIC, the pic I use is the 18f252 with internal 256 byte EEPROM.

[Darrel Taylor]

I don't see a reason then.

Do you have the correct chip selected in the Device Drop-down in MicroCode Studio?

Does this program (that compiles here with PBP 2.60/18F252), give you the same error?


Addr VAR BYTE
Value VAR BYTE

Addr = 0
Value = 123

WRITE Addr, Value
READ Addr, Value
LCDOUT $FE,1,"Addr=",DEC Addr," Value=",DEC Value
STOP

Yes, the chip selected is correct and also with your program it gives me the same error using the ICD COMPILE PROGRAM or only COMPILE PROGRAM, I stated in my previous post that I use for my projects demoborad QL 200 and its programmer connected to my PC via USB. Perhaps this could be the problem? However the list of errors that gave me compiling your program:

Hi, mombasa

Just pasting your program into MCS compiles fine ( success 532 Bytes ) ...

soooo ... did you verify in the compiler options you point to the correct PBP2.60 location ???

Acetronics thanks for your interest, but after several attempts, I must conclude that MCS is not fully compatible with Windows 7. In fact I noticed that with other operating systems, error messages are not generated. I'll try again and will let you know the results. Thanks and regards.

... but after several attempts, I must conclude that MCS is not fully compatible with Windows 7. ...
MicroCode Studio works with Win7. It just takes a few more steps sometimes.
Especially if it's Win7-64.

Try this ...
