Hi i try to use the debugger script in order to stimulate data into my ADC peripheral. this is the script i wrote:
/* Map the user specific memory space */ MAP S:0, S:0xFFFF READ WRITE /* Store the content of the S: Space */ LOAD INPUTDAT.HEX S:0, S:0xFFFF /* Define a global variable for indexing */ DEFINE unsigned int GetValIdx /* Define a breakpoint at specific location */ BS 0xff000449, 1, "G_Data= ((100*_RBYTE (S:0 + GetValIdx++)+10*_RBYTE (S:0 + GetValIdx++)+_RBYTE (S:0 + GetValIdx++))<<2" GetValIdx++
the problem is that although file "INPUTDAT.HEX" exists in the same folder where the project is located, the file is not loaded into the specific memory area S:
more than that, when i try to manually change the values in S: through the memory map window, my changes are ignored with the following error message: *** error 57: illegal address (C:0x0001)
as mentioned before i try to change S:0x0001, not C:0x0001
thnx Per you indeed made your point. i'm using HEX format which is called (in the application i'm using to generate it) "Intel Hex Code-8 bit". it looks like this: :02000004F80002 :1000000031353031333131323731323831303731C7 :1000100032333133313132333132363132333132BE :1000200038313134313131313135313231313237AA :100030003133313132323131383131373131373199 . . . :090900003131343131343131342C :00000001FF
i can manage to find which header i should use in order to locate the file to the place in the memory i intend to.
i'm working with SiLab 8051F931 which has 64KB code and 4KB RAM
the mapping includes I:, C: and X:
can i use, when working in debug mode with USB debug adapter, the S: memory space? can the debugger work with virtual memory that is located outside the micro (i mean in the PC)?
i have plenty of free memory in C: in case it's required i can locate the data i need over there, but if possible i'd like to use S: (assuming it is indeed virtual, external to the chip).
