Writing variables to nonvolitile memory using xdata

Writing variables to nonvolitile memory using xdata

My MCU is ADuC841 it had (working with SDK)

62 kBytes on-chip Flash/EE program memory
4 kBytes on-chip Flash/EE data memory

I want to store variable that i get from the serial port and write them to the EEPROM then turn off, turn on the MCU and read them some how
(print the stored variable to screen = Hyperterminal)
or using interrupt that prints it to screen.

my code is working on the the simulator of keil
i see the memory window but on then target MCU
it doesn't work

My code:

unsigned char xdata large_array[20] _at_ 1500;
unsigned int  xdata timer_tick;

void INT_EX0() interrupt 0
{
    puts(large_array);
}

void main (void)
{
  while(1)
   {
    T3CON = 0x87;     // 4800
    T3FD  = 0x08;
    SCON  = 0x52;

    IT0  = 1;   // Configure interrupt 0 for falling   edge on /INT0 (P3.2)
    EX0  = 1;   // Enable EX0 Interrupt
    EA   = 1;

   puts("\nEnter string :");
   getline(large_array);   // get string from serial port
   puts(large_array); // read from memory and output to serial port
   }
}


the output of the MCU on Hyperterminal is something like all the char in ascii - "abcdefg...!@#$%^&*()..."

WHAT IS THE PROBLEM ??

Thanks in advance !!!

  • My question is that - can i do wiritng to the EEPROM
    without all this registers by using XDATA or i must use those register

    those amazing designers of chips just add all those SFRs because they think it is fun to do so.

    Do you REALLY ASS U ME that all that is there "just to confuse you"?

    Anyhow, there is, somewhere, a "manhandled" banking routine that makes an EE appear as a (painfully slow) bank of XRAM. Since I do not use it, my recollection is a bit fuzzy, but I think it is for an external EE so you will have to modify it to use and thus you must "use those registers".

    Now I brought the subject up, I guess someone using it will locate it for you and, maybe, have some comments on it.
