Pic16f877a intro to relocatable code

[kemalkemal]

Hi all,
After one week that i've decided to learn relocatable code with assembler and after i found out solutions to problems i encounter here is my solutionless problem
i wrote just a simple code to load port b with b'01010101' like this.

I build this without error , make the hex file with mpasmwin. But when i load hex into pic , i dont see 01010101 on port b of my development board.

ANy idea? Thanks.

hii
check your circuit if it is connected properly.... try it in a simulation.

if the circuit is not at all working, then check ur oscillator circuit and your CONFIG bits

Hi,

You do not say what your dev board is, but generally most hobbyist programmers do not use LVP so you Must set LVP=OFF or it may not program correctly.

In Assembly you have a choice of Absolute or Relocatable code, however if you read up on relocatable code its often considered only useful for very complex coding and even then problems are often reported.

For the majority of diy projects Absolute code is much simpler and virtually all web examples and tutorial are in Absolute code.

Would strongly suggest you change over to Absolute modl in your project Options.

Here is your code reworked for Absolute mode, so much simpler , surley ?

	list p=16f877a 
	#include <p16f877a.inc> 
	__CONFIG _CP_OFF & _WDT_OFF & _BODEN_OFF & _PWRTE_ON & _RC_OSC & _WRT_OFF & _LVP_OFF & _CPD_OFF

	cblock 0x0020		; RAM LOCATION
;	port1				; bad choice of label  -use -
	work1
	endc



	ORG  0x0000 		;RESET_VECTOR
	goto start

	ORG  0x0004 		;INT_VECTOR CODE
	retfie 



start					;MAIN_PROG CODE

	clrf	PORTB		;CLEAR PORTB		
	banksel	TRISB
	clrf	TRISB		;SET PORTB TO OUTPUTS
	banksel	PORTB

	movlw	b'01010101'
	movwf	work1
;	movf	port1,w	   ; not needed as the value is still in W

	movwf	PORTB

loop goto	loop		

	END

First I change my _RC_OSC config to _XT_OSC and then set LVP to off. And problem is solved.Thanks again.
