Where should I discuss SD/MMC FAT issues?

[skimask]

The only way I've found to stop a sector read that allows for the next command to be another sector read has been to either finish the original sector read or to initialize the MMC.

I know there's an ABORT sequence of some sort in there somewhere. I'll do some digging and get back to you...

when I use your ":" colon text editing to condense my I2C routines I get an error surrounding the "@ NOP" lines?

Previous post... One @ per line, nothing else...

Thanks guys. This is what I thought too - only one "@" item per line. Maybe I'll just move the I2C files into a "Include I2C.bas". I'll just have to keep track of file locations as I progress from one folder (part of the project) to another.

If I include the full path name of the file, can I get PBP to find it, regardless of where the main program exists? Stupid question, I know it should be ok, just asking.

You could turn all those multi-line @ NOP's into macros.
Put this near the top of your code:

ASM
nop5 macro
     NOP
     NOP
     NOP
     NOP
     NOP
    endm
ENDASM

To use it:

@ nop5

That would be 9 Tcy, right?

Shouldn't be more than the amount of NOP. When you call a macro it just paste the macro code, but use another name.

While it's not the best code efficient, You could also use some self expanding macro by adding an argument, so if you need 2,3 or 10 NOP, it will do it for you automatically. Not sure if you need it here.

something like

<font color="#000080">ASM
NOP?C   macro Cin
    local a
a=0
    while a&lt;Cin
        nop
a++=1
        endw
    endm
ENDASM
</font>

If you use @ NOP?C 1 it will paste 1 NOP and so on.

Thanks! I've written ASM programs, but never explored the macro functions. When I said 9Tcy I was looking at the added overhead of jumping in and out of the ASM sub. I was thinking that just to jump-to and return-from takes 4Tcy.

Sometime knowing a bit of ASM and MPASM directive is handy. I learned it through Darrel's codeS and postS... it's all it's fault
