"bank not found" when inserting a chunk of ASM

[Moas]

Hello,
I am now struggling with inserting an ASM chunk to the program. I know only the very basic from ASM (to be able to configure ports etc.) so I am trying to do my best - I received the ASM code from one experienced guy and now I am trying to make it run in Pascal.
Below you can find a start of a procedure I would like to use:

Code: Select all

Procedure Mereni;

var
STRIDAL,STRIDAH,COUNTL,COUNTH : byte; volatile;

Begin
 STRIDAL := 0;
 STRIDAH := 0;
 COUNTL := 0;
 COUNTH := 0;

 asm

  CLRF	  STRIDAL
  CLRF	  STRIDAH

  MOVLW   020h
  MOVWF	  COUNTL
  MOVLW   036h
  MOVWF	  COUNTH

  BCF	    3,2	

...code continues...

The problem is that when I try to compile this, I receive a message

Code: Select all

Linker error: STRIDAL: not found
Linker error: Bank not found: STRIDAL

Any idea what should I do? I know that there is some bank switching necessary for some memory areas of PIC (I use 16f84a) but here my knowledge ends.
Thanks to anyone for your help!

Hi,

you must use asm name of the variable inside asm block.

Example for mikroPascal PRO for PIC:

Code: Select all

program test;

Procedure Mereni;
var STRIDAL : byte; volatile;
Begin
 STRIDAL := 0xFF;
 asm
  CLRF     Mereni_STRIDAL
 end;
 
end;

// main 
begin
   Mereni();
end.

If you want to see asm name of some variable, write some code,
compile, start simulator (F9), and find variable in Watch window.

you must use asm name of the variable inside asm block.

Thanks milan, this indeed works!
