The target doesn't initialize arrays, why?

Hi, Joost Leeuwesteijn.
...and the startup file (startup.a66) that initializes the vars.

But what should I modify in statup.a66 file that could initialize vars?

But your array is not a global so this should not apply... I expect the values to be in the "?tpl?0001" section but I'm not sure.

Maybe the compiler optimized it away, if this really is all your code. You could check the assembly file.

Thanks for those links, I'll see what can I do.

No. That code was just where I discovered the problem. I also tryed the follow code using Hyper Terminal. In debug mode the target is running well, but in free running not:

#include <reg161.h>
#include <stdio.h>
void setup_serial();

void main (void)  {
        unsigned char cnt,array[6]={1,1,1,1,1,1};
        setup_serial();

        for(cnt=0; cnt<6; cnt++){
                if(array[cnt] != 1)
                        putchar('!');
                else
                        putchar('1');
//in hyper terminal is displaying six of '!', WHY?
//it must be six of '1'!
        }

        while (1) {
        }
}

void setup_serial(){
  P3  |= 0x0400;        /* SET PORT 3.10 OUTPUT LATCH (TXD)              */
  DP3 |= 0x0400;        /* SET PORT 3.10 DIRECTION CONTROL (TXD OUTPUT)  */
  DP3 &= 0xF7FF;        /* RESET PORT 3.11 DIRECTION CONTROL (RXD INPUT) */
  S0TIC = 0x80;         /* SET TRANSMIT INTERRUPT FLAG                   */
  S0RIC = 0x00;         /* DELETE RECEIVE INTERRUPT FLAG                 */
  S0BG  = 0x19;                 /* SET BAUDRATE TO 19200 BAUD AT 16MHZ           */
  S0CON = 0x8011;       /* SET SERIAL MODE                               */
}

What do you mean exactly? Debug mode is on a simulator? Or on the target? And free run is on the target? Could there be a problem in the memory map/linker file? Is everything located in RAM?

What does the array contain in the incorrect situation?

- What do you mean exactly? Debug mode is on a simulator? Or on the target?
I mean debug mode is on the target.
- And free run is on the target?
Yes. Free running I mean the execution of the device after I download the .H86 file to flash of the board.

- What does the array contain in the incorrect situation?
I think that the length is not defined. When I tryed to determine what the array contains i think is 0xFF...

Thank you...

if(array[cnt] != 1)
                        putchar('!');

might be wrong.
You should better have written

if(array[cnt] != '1')
                        putchar('!');

if(array[cnt] != 1)
                        putchar('!');

might be wrong.

No , it was correct. I made just a simple initialization, and tested if it had done...

No, the array is initialized with 1, not '1', so you should also check using 1 (not the ASCII value).

Sorry, maybe I didn't understand.
the array is initialized with 1, not '1'
Yes, it is...
you should also check using 1 (not the ASCII value).
So , i did.
But not this is the problem , the problem is that after the initialization unsigned char array[6]={1,1,1,1,1,1}; the elements of the array are not values of 1 like I expect, so it isn't initialized.
And I think the problem is in the project settings or startup file, where I don't know the solution...
