Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F2111

Hello all,

I want to put my software version in information segmant on my Flash. I have MSP430F2111 and I am using Code Composer Essentials 3.2

I was try to define assembly file and use lines like:

.infoA

 DC8 "Software Version: 0.1"

or

 ORG INFOA

 DB "Software Version: 0.1"

And I get following error messages:

[E0002] Illegal mnemonic specified

Thank you,

    In the case above, I believe the assembler is attempting to treat the DC8 or DB as opcodes and not as a directive such as .byte, .word, etc.

    Is your intention to have the software version accessed as a string?  If so, try the following:

     

    .string "Software Version: 0.1"

     

    This is taken from the MSP430 Assembly Language Tools v3.0 User's Guide - SLAU131 document.

    Okay guys, I figured that out.

    Here is how you suppose to do it on CCE v3:

    #define VERSION        "Version: 0.2"
    #define DATE        "Date: 10/13/08"
    #pragma DATA_SECTION (version, ".infoD");
    #pragma DATA_SECTION (date, ".infoC");
    const char version[] = VERSION;
    const char date[] = DATE;

    Also if you want to change your memory space it can be done by changing following file in a project:

    lnk_msp430f2111.cmd

    Thanks for your help!
