Other Parts Discussed in Thread: REMOTI

Hello,everyone,

I am analysing the RemoTI's code,however,I have a problem,code as follow:

static __monitor void HalFlashWriteTrigger(void)
{
FCTL |= 0x02; // Trigger the DMA writes.
while (FCTL & 0x80); // Wait until writing is done.
}

__monitor is an IAR keyword which implements a function during which interrupts are disabled. As a general rule of thumb, whenever you see the double-underscore as the first two characters, it is a compiler/linker directive. You can read all about it in the IAR help:

Help-->8051 C/C++ Compiler Reference Guide

But, the fact that you can see that directive tells me that you are not using the latest RemoTI stack, version 1.2. Please install and migrate to 1.2:
