hi,

I have some question concerning bankstick MIOS_Bankstick_WritePage:

- does the function return immediately and the 64 bytes are written

  in background, or do I have to check for a flag or something until

  I can call the function again? is the MIOS_BOX_STAT.BS_AVAILABLE

  the magic flag which I have to poll after each writepage?

why I'am asking: In my application I have a current_preset - array (size 64 bytes)

and a function that writes it to the stick with MIOS_BANKSTICK_WritePage. If

I write the preset to any preset-storage-address (preset_num << 6),

everything works fine. But if I call the same store-function in a loop to init

all the 16 presets on the stick, I get very strange results.. I do this in the main-loop (USER_Tick).

if I just init one preset, all works fine again.

- what's the point about the 'verifiy' - option, when/what for do I need it or not?

  is the verify for writepage done for every byte, or do I just get an error when

  the whole content is equal?

thanks,

this

MIOS_Bankstick_WritePage is a blocking function, you can be sure that the programming process has finished when the function is exit.

See also this programming example.

You have to ensure, that no IRQ routine accesses the BankStick while it is accessed from the "main" program, of course... regardless if the content is read or written.

"Verify" just reads and compares the written content. I used it in the early days to doublecheck if BankStick writes are reliable. They are - therefore I mostly disable it in my own application meanwhile.

Best Regards, Thorsten.

ok, I found it:

it's about the building of the storage-address. wrong use of bitshift leads to

interesting results (different if I call the same code from Tick or from DIN_Notify...):

this works not (I inserted some LCD code to get a debug output):

void preset_store(unsigned char num) __wparam{
	unsigned int addr = ((unsigned int)num) << 6;
	//unsigned int addr = num*64;
	MIOS_LCD_Clear();
	MIOS_LCD_CursorSet(0);
	MIOS_LCD_PrintBCD2(num);
	MIOS_LCD_PrintCString(" - ");
	MIOS_LCD_PrintBCD5(addr);
	MIOS_BANKSTICK_WritePage(addr, current_preset);
	}
output for num==10 when I call it in DIN_NotifyToggle: 10 - 64 and for calls from Tick: 10 - 0 this one works: 
void preset_store(unsigned char num) __wparam{
	unsigned int addr = num;
	addr <<= 6;
	MIOS_LCD_Clear();
	MIOS_LCD_CursorSet(0);
	MIOS_LCD_PrintBCD2(num);
	MIOS_LCD_PrintCString(" - ");
	MIOS_LCD_PrintBCD5(addr);
	MIOS_BANKSTICK_WritePage(addr, current_preset);
	}
10 - 640 2 - 128 etc. but this works NOT!!: 
void preset_store(unsigned char num) __wparam{
	unsigned int addr = num;
	//addr <<= 6;
	MIOS_BANKSTICK_WritePage(addr << 6, current_preset);
	}
finally, this variant works: 
void preset_store(unsigned char num) __wparam{
	unsigned int addr = num;
	addr <<= 6;
	MIOS_BANKSTICK_WritePage(addr, current_preset);
	}

it took me hours to come to this ;-)

I bet it did!

SDCC is *really* picky about parentheses... Can you try these? I've commented my changes.

However... it behaving differently when called from the tick or notify functions, is really strange... And really, they all should work. What version of SDCC are you using? Can you do 'sdcc -v' and paste the output?

It kinda seems like an SDCC bug...

void preset_store(unsigned char num) __wparam{
	unsigned int addr = (((unsigned int)num) << 6); // parentheses added here
	//unsigned int addr = num*64;
	MIOS_LCD_Clear();
	MIOS_LCD_CursorSet(0);
	MIOS_LCD_PrintBCD2(num);
	MIOS_LCD_PrintCString(" - ");
	MIOS_LCD_PrintBCD5(addr);
	MIOS_BANKSTICK_WritePage(addr, current_preset);
	}
void preset_store(unsigned char num) __wparam{
	unsigned int addr = ((unsigned char)num); // Typecast added here
	//addr <<= 6;
	MIOS_BANKSTICK_WritePage((addr << 6), current_preset); // parentheses here
	}

Edit: I'd love to see the output asm if you still have it handy! (yes, I can make it myself, but i'm busy :( )

Can you do 'sdcc -v' and paste the output?

here it is:

this@this-laptop:~$ sdcc -v

SDCC : mcs51/gbz80/z80/avr/ds390/pic16/pic14/TININative/xa51/ds400/hc08 2.7.0 #4 818 (Jan 18 2008) (UNIX)

MIOS_BANKSTICK_WritePage((addr << 6), current_preset); // parentheses here

this one I already tried, makes no difference.

However... it behaving differently when called from the tick or notify functions, is really strange... And really, they all should work.

I'dont exactly know where notify is called, but I think it's from a timer - callback, not from the main-loop? This could make the difference.

It kinda seems like an SDCC bug...

could be. I'll study the sdcc-manual once more, there are specials about

passing parameters to functions etc. I could imagine that bit-shifts have special

things to take are about too.

I'd love to see the output asm if you still have it handy!

ok, i start with the current, woking version:

so It looks like the bitshift needs to be

on a separate line..

I let it be your job to interpret the asm..

cocerning bitshift, I only found this in the SDCC-manual:

8.1.8     Bit-shifting Operations.

Bit shifting is one of the most frequently used operation in embedded programming. SDCC tries to implement

bit-shift operations in the most ef?cient way possible, e.g.:

       unsigned char i;

       ...

       i > >= 4;

       ...

generates the following code:

       mov    a,_i

       swap   a

       anl    a,#0x0f

       mov    _i,a

In general SDCC will never setup a loop if the shift count is known. Another example:

       unsigned int i;

       ...

       i > >= 9;

       ...

will generate:

       mov    (_i + 1),#0x00

       clr    c

       rrc    a

       mov    _i,a

8.1.9     Bit-rotation

A special case of the bit-shift operation is bit rotation, SDCC recognizes the following expression to be a left

bit-rotation:

       unsigned char i;                      /* unsigned is needed for rotation */

       ...

       i = ((i < < 1) | (i > > 7));

       ...

will generate the following code:

       mov    a,_i

       rl     a

       mov    _i,a

SDCC uses pattern matching on the parse tree to determine this operation.Variations of this case will also be

recognized as bit-rotation, i.e.:

       i = ((i > > 7) | (i < < 1)); /* left-bit rotation */

Yeh, I think the only part of the manual that really applies here, is the part where they say something about chars not being promoted to int for arithmetic (as they usually are). I think it's in the compliance section?

SDCC : mcs51/gbz80/z80/avr/ds390/pic16/pic14/TININative/xa51/ds400/hc08 2.7.0 #4 

Still haven't upgraded to 2.8? You should. I'm sure I told you about this last time ;)

I'dont exactly know where notify is called, but I think it's from a timer - callback, not from the main-loop? This could make the difference.

Memory is saved and restored in ISR's anyway, but it's called from a flag.

this one works only if I have the debug code uncommented (!).

Optimizer bug.

so It looks like the bitshift needs to be

on a separate line..

Well, putting it in parentheses should do the same thing, that's why it's weird.

So, more and more, it's looking like an SDCC bug, So I figure, "I wonder if my latest SDCC build does the same thing?" well guess what I get:

error: multiple sections using address 0

Still haven't upgraded to 2.8? You should. I'm sure I told you about this last time

yes, I know.. but currently I'm using the Ubuntu dist, and I'am lazy. I should

build it from the source..

Memory is saved and restored in ISR's anyway, but it's called from a flag.

hm.. called from a flag? what's this?

Well, putting it in parentheses should do the same thing, that's why it's weird.

I'am really a asm-analphabet, you don't see anything that could explain this in the asm-code?

error: multiple sections using address 0

you get this on compiling? I can compile your test-code without any problems.. maybe

I shouldn't update my sdcc... :-)

error: multiple sections using address 0

I updated to the version 2.8.4 of SDCC, now I get the same

error as you *arghhh*.

besides, I have to do a typecast on passing the address of my array now:

MIOS_BANKSTICK_ReadPage(addr,current_preset);

-->

main.c:105: error 78: incompatible types

I have to write:

MIOS_BANKSTICK_ReadPage(addr,(char*)current_preset);

...and the compiler option --optimize-goto is no more present in 2.8.4:

at 1: warning 117: unknown compiler option '--optimize-goto' ignored

At the base of your test-code, I will analyze what causes the "error: multiple sections using address 0"

seems to be the linker that throws it:

make
rm -rf _output/*
rm -rf _output
rm -rf *.cod *.map *.lst
rm -rf *.hex
mkdir -p _output
/bin/bash /home/this/mios/trunk/bin/mios-gpasm -c -p p18f452 -I./src -I /home/this/mios/trunk/include/asm -I /home/this/mios/trunk/include/share -I /home/this/mios/trunk/modules/app_lcd/dummy -DDEBUG_MODE=0  -DSTACK_HEAD=0x37f -DSTACK_IRQ_HEAD=0x33f -I /home/this/mios/trunk/modules/mios_wrapper /home/this/mios/trunk/modules/mios_wrapper/mios_wrapper.asm  -o _output/mios_wrapper.o

If I can't fix it, I'll go back to the old SDCC that works for me..

error: multiple sections using address 0

I modified your testapp (just this line):

MIOS_BANKSTICK_ReadPage(addr,current_preset);//-->error: multiple sections using address 0

MIOS_BANKSTICK_ReadPage(0x00,current_preset);//-->error: multiple sections using address 0

MIOS_BANKSTICK_ReadPage(addr,0);//-->error: multiple sections using address 0

MIOS_BANKSTICK_ReadPage(0x00,0);//-->no error, compliles and links

the error occurs also if I never call "preset_storeb".

I switched back from SDCC 2.8.4 to the official Kubuntu package 2.7.0, this one

complies my app, and it works without problems on my MIDI-box.

I just tried to search on google for similar threads, and found this:

http://osdir.com/ml/compilers.sdcc.user/2007-10/msg00030.html

they talk about interrupt handlers, I did not read it really carefully,

because I'am tired and have to to to bed, It's just a quick shot try,

maybe there's some usefull info.

In my example the error occurs on calling MIOS_BANKSTICK_ReadPage

with some var param, so maybe there's something in the MIOS kernel

that was accepted or ignored or interpreted differently by the older

SDCC compiler?

Yep, compiler error.

My toolchain was screwy but that was my fault (I broke it and I knew that) but once it was fixed, the above code *all* works with sdcc 2.8.0. However, 2.8.4 (the snapshot) is no good. Grab the working one here: sdcc-2.8.0-setup.exe

Would you like to file the bug report?

Ok, I see.

I think we should not mix up the bitshift - subject with the

"error: multiple sections using address 0" subject. The latter

appears also with no bitshift at all.

MIOS_BANKSTICK_ReadPage(addr,current_preset);//-->error: multiple sections using address 0
MIOS_BANKSTICK_ReadPage(0x00,current_preset);//-->error: multiple sections using address 0
MIOS_BANKSTICK_ReadPage(addr,0);//-->error: multiple sections using address 0
MIOS_BANKSTICK_ReadPage(0x00,0);//-->no error, compliles and links

It seems like the parameter passing (and all that follows) causes the problem.

And maybe all the MIOS - environment is needed to reproduce the problem.

I will take your test-application and make a distribution, which I can post as a standalone-

package for the SDCC - developpers to (hopefully) reproduce the issue.

With 2.8.0 ? I didn't see that myself... Anyway, as I said in the bug report, I had seen this behaviour in other code but had not been able to narrow it down... So I'm not singling this out to be a bitshift-related error, that's just one example of how to reproduce the error. If you can provide further examples to them, that can only help :)

With 2.8.0 ?

no, this was with 2.8.4. now I'am a bit confused, because you write the code compliled & linked with 2.8.0 ?

is there also a problem with 2.8.0 ?

Exactly - 2.8.0 is good. 2.8.4 is a snapshot build with bugs like the one you posted above. 2.7.0 is OK, but has other bugs, what with being an older version and all.

ok, I cooked the shit down, a can confirm that with 2.8.0 everthing works fine.

2.8.5, the latest snapshot, causes the problems. check this sample code (check code in init & read comments):

I made two release packages, one I compliled with 2.8.0, one with 2.8.5. so all

that is needed to analyze the problem is included. The problem has nothing to

do with bitshift-issues.

It's interesting that when addressing a const array, the linker does not complain,

but when addressing a variable 64-char-array, it throws the error. I removed

everything that is not really necessary to cook down the problem. there is

a 64 byte var array, and a 64 byte const array, all other stuff happens in

function "init". I added a file named SHELL.txt to the failing release package

which contains the shell output of the make-command.

@stryd_one:

I just commented the bug report with the files attached to this post. It

now appears as follow-up to your bug-report on the sourceforge-site.

I hope this will help.-

Well no, not really a makefile issue at all...

it was an issue where SDCC was broken... twice actually.

The first break was that the --asm parametr was completely ignored. That was an accident.

That was done attemting to "fix" sdcc, so that it would accept bad paths (which were illegal in windows, maybe *nix too), which, even if you ignore the first, accidental 'break', additionally broke sdcc for perfectly good makefiles, like ours.

No need to alter our makefile here, as Raphael has wisely returned sdcc to it's old behaviour.

It kinda seems like an SDCC bug...

Been here, done this before ;)

It's important to realise that SDCC is heavily developed, so bugs can appear and be fixed very regularly. If you're using a nightly build, you have to watch out for new bugs, and if you're using a release build, then you should use the latest one available. That's why I told you a few times before this thread to update to 2.8 ;)

Edit: gotta wait till tomorrow for the new windoze snapshot. How's it work on *nix?
