DW8051 MPAGE reg

Henrik Holm

Hi,
The Synopsis DW8051 core uses a MPAGE sfr reg at 0x92 hex instead of the standard P2 register when accessing data with MOVX etc.
Do Keil support this register? If so what do I do to enable it?

Regards

Henrik

    From the documentation that I have, it appears that the MPAGE register is only used if you do not include a P2 module in your Synopsis design.

    The MPAGE register provides the upper 8 bits for:

    movx a, @r0/@r1
movx @r0/@r1, a

    In the C51 compiler, these instructions are used only in the COMPACT memory model (for PDATA variables).

    In the startup code, there is a section where you may set the value of P2 for all PDATA operations. Change this code to set the value in the MPAGE register.

    "In the C51 compiler, these instructions are used only in the COMPACT memory model (for PDATA variables)."

    Incorrect: the compiler must always use these instructions for any reference to PDATA - that's what PDATA means!

    The effect of the COMPACT memory model is simply to make PDATA the default - you can still explicitly define a variable to be in PDATA in any memory model you want (in fact, some contributors will urge that you should always do so!)

    Good point. Thanks for clarifying that.

    What I meant was that MPAGE is only used when you use PDATA variables. PDATA is the default memory space in COMPACT model.
