NOP Vs _nop_()?

In one of my project I am talking with MX909 Driver IC with C51 ucontroller. To initialize MX909 if I write module in Assembly language it's working fine. Once I replaced with C same module it's not working.

The only difference I can make for both assembly and C languages is NOP and _nop_() instruction. Is both instructions will take same number of machine cycles?

Thanks,
Suresh Kumar Kavula

  • And has been seen, causes a lot of negative reaction!

    If you come to a technical forum to get technical advice and the criticize the semantics (instead of ignoring them and using the actual information to solve your problem), then you weren't really interested in a solution in the first place.

    Gentle persuasion generally works better;

    If you want gentle persuasion, call tech support. Most likely, you'll get more and more persuasion the less knowledgable the person you're talking to is.

    If you want gentle persuasion and actual information, how about paying for a support contract or hiring a consultant.

    Don't forget that you'll find professionals giving advice for free (as in: they're not paid to do so) here. If you demand that they put additional effort into making it "work", you're expecting quite a lot for something that's free.

    Free, useful, "gentle". Pick two.

  • Free, useful, "gentle". Pick two.

    And there is the problem from the post in question - In my opinion, only one was picked!

    Free - Yes.

    Useful - No.

    Gentle - HaHa!

    It is not a prerequisite of a professional to be rude and demeaning - Well, certainly not one that I would look for.

  • Free - Yes.

    Useful - No.

    If you can deduct anything that is more useful from the extremely scant (bordering on nonexistent) information given by the OP, then please enlighten us.

    Otherwise, Erik's guesses were as useful as the could be, given the (lack of) information he had to base them on.

    But that seems to be the common problem - not being able to recognize a posting as useful and then complaining about formal issues.

  • If you can deduct anything that is more useful from the extremely scant (bordering on nonexistent) information given by the OP, then please enlighten us.

    Is there something wrong or difficult about maybe asking the OP for further information?

    Since 'the professionals' do this in their own time and for free, then surely it would be more sensible to not waste time on providing answers to the wrong questions!?

    His guesses were as useful as a chocolate teapot!

    But that seems to be the common problem - not being able to recognize a posting as useful and then complaining about formal issues.

    What about recognising a post as unuseful (and rude and demeaning) ?

  • Is there something wrong or difficult about maybe asking the OP for further information?

    Eriks first line. Oh, I know. Not gentle enough for you.

    His guesses were as useful as a chocolate teapot!

    And you know that because ... ?

    Oh right, you don't. You're just guessing, like Erik. Unless you're the OP posting under another name and have since then figured out where the bug in your code was. I'd assume this to be fairly unlikely, though.

    Or you're "Jack Sprat" posting under yet another pseudonym (or even your real name), and don't really care about the contents of this thread as long as you're getting attention and can flame Erik.

    What about recognising a post as unuseful (and rude and demeaning) ?

    If you think Eriks post was not useful, then, I'm sorry to say this, you're suffering from a fallacy.

    What do you demeaning about this ? "Fallacy" is a perfectly normal term for something that is easily assumed to be right, while it is, in fact, wrong.

  • you're suffering from a fallacy.

    Hmmm ... It's sounding like you're a member of the Erik luv-fest brigade!

    I'm not going to bother responding to your individual points because - Well, what's the point!?

    But, by the way, I am not the original poster, I am not "Jack Sprat" and I am not even the alter ego of "Christoph Franck".

    I would expect professionals to be a bit more professional. Experience is not directly proportional to superiority!
