uVision does not automatically alter the startup code to fit the dialog box values. Those values are used for the debugger, and some of the command-line parameters to the compiler and linker. (See the "linker control string" box on the LX51 tab in uVision.) But they do not get passed in to STARTUP.A51. You must alter that file yourself. Did you get a link error when building this project? The assembler code shown is certainly wrong, since the DPTR isn't being loaded with the proper address. All zeroes makes me think that offset wasn't updated.
I have seen quite often tha when a label match a constant, the tools pick the label. Thus if HPWRSTATE(0x40) indeed is address 0x40 that is exactly what happens. Erik
Yes. Most tools will just pick the first symbol that matches the value that they see. But it doesn't bother me that the symbol is CSTARTUP. It bothers me that the immediate value in the instruction is 0000H when the _at_ keyword assigns the address 1040H. The code should read:
C:0x0800 900000 MOV DPTR,#SomeSymbol(0x1040)
