RE: [avr-gcc-list] avr-gcc - global variables

[Bernard Fouche]

Is DDRC == 0xFF ? I suppose that you have plugged PORTC to the bank of leds
on the STK, however you must specify that the port is to be used as an out
port.

The libc also gives you eeprom_write_byte(), try to use it to check if it
works better than eeprom_wb() that I don't know, if you have storage
problems.

If you want to store data in the EEPROM once, you could also build a Intel
Hex File and ask avrdude/uisp to send it to your chip. It's handy to have
around some code to do that, it spares code room inside the target and you
don't need to compile if you want to change your character font.

Hope it helps.

I am trying to write a number of bytes into EEPROM
(actually a set of characters for a 5x7 dot matrix),
and need some help with global variables :


a) What is wrong with the following code :

//
// character = global variable
//
volatile uint8_t character[90][7] =
{
{ 0x1F, 0x1F, 0x1F, 0x1F, 0x1F, 0x1F, 0x1F },
{ 0x13, 0x13, 0x13, 0x13, 0x13, 0x1F, 0x13 },
{ 0x15, 0x15, 0x15, 0x1F, 0x1F, 0x1F, 0x1F },
{ ... }
};


void fill_eeprom()
{
  uint8_t val;
  uint16_t i,j,addr;

  for (i=0; i<90; i++) {
     for (j=0; j<7; j++) {
       addr = 7*i+j;
       val = character[i][j];
       eeprom_wb(addr,val);
       PORTC = ~val;
       wait(400);
       PORTC = ~0x00;
       wait(400);
     }
  }
}

void main(void)
{
  ....
}


Port C switches between 0xFF (= ~0x00) and 0x00 - no sign
of my character table.


b) Is there a better way to do this than the above approach ?
