using 2 DPTRs with C51 v3.20

I'm using quite old version of C51, v3.20.

Is there a way to tell the compiler to use the second DPTR of Atmel 89C55WD also?

  • Actually, dual data pointer support was added in C51 Version 4 or maybe late in Version 3. The only 2 devices that supported dual data pointers at that time were the AMD and Infineon devices. AMD no longer makes 8051 derivatives.

    Subsequently, Dallas semiconductor, Philips, Atmel WM, and several other companies added dual data pointer support over the years. We added support for these as they became available.

    Most of these new devices were introduced during the Version 5 compiler and MOD... directives were added to support each of them.

    Note that only a few of these devices are compatible. Most are NOT!!! The reason is that the register used to switch data pointers is not always in the same location or isn't always the same bit!
