hi,
could someone explain me why when compiling my app i get this error in many file:
“processor type not defined”
It’s not what you’d expect either… The processor does seem to be defined in the source… I’m looking at it now…
i’ve re-do all the work from scratch, and the only error i get now are:
.objs\aout.asm:598:Error [103] syntax error

any suggestion?

Hah, I just figured it out too 
ROFL…That’s 3 hours wasted! 
Hey mail me the new one and I’ll scope it out.
email coming your way… Let me know if it works, I’ll document it more neatly for the wiki…
thanks, i will spend the night on this 
i’ve tried to integrate the code you give me,
now i just get this two errors:
Compiling: aout.c
aout.c:267:19: warning: no newline at end of file
aout.c:185: syntax error: token -> ‘void’ ; column 10
what is wrong?
aout.c:267:19: warning: no newline at end of file
this one is pretty easy: just make a new line at the end of the file, so that the file does not end with a char but a blank line!
aout.c:185: syntax error: token -> ‘void’ ; column 10
could you post a snippet (maybe lines 180 to 190) of aout.c?
cheers,
AC
thanks i’ve solved this first errors.
now i get this one:
aout.c:213: syntax error: token -> ‘’ ; column 0
Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 1 seconds)
1 errors, 0 warnings
here is a quote of the 4 last line of my file:
210: bcf CV_AOUT_LC_LAT_RCLK, CV_AOUT_LC_PIN_RCLK ; release latch
211:endasm;
213; }
214:
Hi moxi,
I think you have to add two underscores before calling
[tt]__asm
asmcontent…bla…
__endasm;[/tt]
best,
Michael
btw: is it normal that there’s line 212 missing or have I watched too much doctor who investigating dissapearing things ;D
btw: is it normal that there’s line 212 missing or have I watched too much doctor who investigating dissapearing things
oups! it’s me that forgot it!
now, with the underscores before asm and endasm:
syntax error: token -> ‘__endasm’ ; column 8
??
can you post a bit more, so that I can see the whole logical snippet?
is everything allright with “__asm” in the beginning of the token? (eg. no “;” after “__asm”)?
here is my file in this last state, i’ve added all the code needed (i think):

i’ve added properly the __asm and endasm; for each parts…now the reports tell me that a lot of symbol are not defined (MIOS_PARAMETER3,POSTINC0,INDF1…)it’s like the asm code was not integrated correctly… 
as the snippet has just 193 lines, I expect the error has been before…
let’s see what looks suspicious:
- line 54: you should move the [tt]return[/tt] after the [tt]__endasm; [/tt]==>
[tt]__endasm;
return;
}[/tt]
- line 93: [tt]#if 0[/tt]
if 0 will never be true and therefore will never be processed? is that okay?
in cases like these, there might be an error in the header file?
besides the “return;” I can see no syntax error.
[tt]MIOS_PARAMETER3[/tt] is declared in cmios.h wich is included correctly. let’s see if that [tt]return; [/tt]solves it…
there is only header text before, this is the full file..
your hint don’t solve the problems, here is a quote of the errors reports:

where have I to define this symbols?
Moxi,
you just have to care about the very first errors. Most time the rest of the errors are a result of the first one.
An illegal character is reported right before CV_AOUT_LC_LoadAOUTx_8_8, if I count these line-numbers (113) up to 108, this brings us straight to your “#if 0” thing.
please remove this completely from the code and compile again:
;; this must be done once all SRs in the chain have been uploaded!
#if 0
bsf CV_AOUT_LC_LAT_RCLK, CV_AOUT_LC_PIN_RCLK ; latch SID values
bcf CV_AOUT_LC_LAT_DOUT, CV_AOUT_LC_PIN_DOUT ; clear out pin (standby)
bcf CV_AOUT_LC_LAT_RCLK, CV_AOUT_LC_PIN_RCLK ; release latch
#endif
When I think about it, it seems very likely that C-preprocessor directors are not supported in ASM codesnippets!
I bet this is it!
it’s the same report with removing what you say..
can you send me both the header and the source file and I see if I can compile it…
