To set a particular memory model, it appears I have to set pragma in each and every source code file. Is that true? Is there no Project option parameter I can use to set it globally?
Does anyone else find the documentation with the Keil tools to be as useless as I do? Just curious.
Oh dear, Oh dear.
Imagining manuals to be just a pot of letters, grouped together as bunches and lined up in sentences, yes. If you think like this, yes. KEIL Manuals are useless.
I do not imagine the manuals as such collection of letters.
They are repositories of ideas. The product of minds that dominate a language and a technique. These lines have a wealth of information on this technique. But they are encoded in a language.
Getting the manual in Spanish or Italian, would make a English speaking only person think it is useless, for the collection of letters and bunching does not convey any information, although you can read the alphabet all right.
This - I am afraid - is the main reason why interested people does not rapport very well to manuals in general. When people that devoted all their working hours to bits and chips must write a book, the shortcomings are evident.
To value a manual one must learn the language. The lingo. Learn the jargon. Learn the flavour of tech-notalk KEIL talks. Be humble, put effor to it.
This is a profitable exercise. Use the manual as a springboard to your knowledge. Do not reinvent the wheel.
I read the manual, both in human way - page by page - as in digital way - by searching for keywords. I dislike it sometimes, It is not Pulitzer worth material, but it makes me learn faster and better than by trial and error.
No, manuals from Keil are not below average. IMHO - They are very good.
And English is not my native language, but I work hard to learn it and to feel confortable with it.
