Hi

this is a program that uses the watchdog timer to show "HELP" message on 7-segment.I don't know what are sram array and location=0x60 in this program,and what are their roles?why point is counted to 8?please explain it!

thanks

Code:

                              // P        L         E         H
__flash unsigned char SEG[8] = {0x8c,0xef,0xc7,0xdf,0x86,0xbf,0x89,0x7f};

#pragma location=0x60
__no_init char SRAM[2];
// Main

{
    unsigned char point;
    // Definde directions for port pins
    DDRB = 0xff;
    DDRA = 0xff;
    PORTA = 0xff;
    PORTB = 0xff;
    asm ("WDR");   // Reset watchdog
    WDTCR = 0x18;
    point = SRAM[0];
    if (point != 1){
        SRAM[0] = 1;
        SRAM[1] = 0;
    }
    point = SRAM[1];
    if (point == 8) SRAM[1] = 0;
    point = SRAM[1];
    PORTA = SEG[point];
    point++;
    PORTB = SEG[point];
    point++;
    if (point == 8) point=0;
    SRAM[1] = point;
    while(1);
}
