srange warning

[keymuu]

Hi all!

Can anyone explain why and how such a warning is possible:

Warning[219] C:\pbp\pbppi14e.lib 937 : Invalid RAM location specified. :disturbed:

I have commented out a lot but can't figure out what causes that

Thank you in advance

Which version of PBP?
Which device are you targeting?
Which version of MPASM?
Can you post the code?

/Henrik.

the processor is PIC12LF1552 but I don't have it yet, and the program is far from ready
and it is not so nice to have a warning like floating around, it could be a symptom of something
more problematic.

Hi,

Your code compiles fine for a 12LF1552 using PBP 3.0.8.4 and MPASM 5.45.

I don't have 2.6C available to try with but it seems as if the warning is thrown by the assembler and not by the compiler. Googling a bit further suggests that the problem might be due to a corrupt or incompatiable .inc file for the device (that would be the .inc file in the MPASM folder, not in the PBP folder).

You didn't say which version of MPASM you're using but I'd try updating or re-installing MPLAB. I'm attaching the p12LF1552.inc file from my MPASM installation (renamed to .txt to able to upload it). You could try replacing yours with this one and see if it helps.

/Henrik.

Are you sure you chose the correct device to compile for? I saw this once when I accidentally changed devices and the new choice had less ram.

[keymuu]

Hi !

I don't know where I can see the version of MPASM.
I use under (at the moment) 600 words when there is 2k in PIC12LF1552.
And I will upgrade to PIC 3.0 very soon and I suspect that it can be a
question of something that is amended in the latest version.

Hi,


I don't know where I can see the version of MPASM.
You can see which version of MPASM you're using in the progress window during the assembly process:
8090

If, for some reason you don't see that you can always start the MPASM GUI application (MPASMWIN.exe) in the MPASM installation folder and see it there:
8091


I use under (at the moment) 600 words when there is 2k in PIC12LF1552.
Yes but are you sure that you're actually compiling for the 12LF1552 and not for another device, by mistake. Are you using MicroCodeStudio, do you have the 12LF1552 selected in the dropdown list?

Before you upgrade to PBP3 (which I highly recommend anyway) you can try replacing the MPASM .inc file with the one in my previous post. Make sure you save the old one.

/Henrik.

[keymuu]

Hello,

the version of MPASM is 5.39

kind regards

keymuu

[HenrikOlsson]

Then I'd try an update of MPLAB.
Go here (http://www.microchip.com/pagehandler/en-us/devtools/dev-tools-parts.html) and download a new version. I'm currently on v8.85 but I'd grab the last v8 there is (v8.92).

/Henrik.

[keymuu]

Hi!

I have now PBP 3.08 and MPLAB is something like 8.95, but I have a problem,
my PBP3 is a "Trial Edition" and I don't understand why.

When I installed PBP3 I did NOT check the empty checkbox between PBP3 and
MPLAB not so far from the beginning of the installation.

Maybe this is not the correct place for this question, if not then where should
i address my question, to who or to what instans.

[HenrikOlsson]

Hi,

Did you buy the upgrade from MeLabs or did you just download PBP3 from their website?

If you bought the upgrade you should've received your personal activation code. Run the PBP Activation Manager to activate your license.
If you did not buy the upgrade well, then that's the reason for it being trial.

/Henrik.
