18F45J10 write_program_memory() compiles to nothing

[mfer]

Hello,

I've seen similar problems here in many-many posts, but couldn't find a solution for my problem yet.

I'm trying to use the followings:

---------------------------------------------

void main()
{
int32 address;
int8 count;
int8 buffer[0x100];

address=0;
count=0x40;
read_program_memory(address,buffer,count);
address=0x1000;
count=0x40;
write_program_memory(address,buffer,count);
}

---------------------------------------------

And the call write_program_memory compiles to this:

---------------------------------------------

0024: GOTO 00E0 (RETURN)

.................... write_program_memory(address,buffer,count);
00C6: MOVFF 07,10C
00CA: MOVFF 06,10B
00CE: MOVLB 1
00D0: CLRF x0E
00D2: MOVLW 0B
00D4: MOVWF x0D
00D6: CLRF x10
00D8: MOVFF 0A,10F
00DC: MOVLB 0
00DE: BRA 0024

00E0: SLEEP
---------------------------------------------

funny, isn't it?

processor: 18F45J10
pcwh version: 4.019

Thanks in advance for any info! (even if you draw my attention to a post containing the solution, but slipped my attention)

It worked OK for me. I took your code and dropped it into
a short test program and compiled it with PCH vs. 4.019.

Hello,

You only missed the main part:
what is at 0x0024?
There should be the writing sequence itself.

Did you burn it into the pic and it did the writing properly?

You're right. It's not there. I didn't comment out the #nolist when I
posted that reply. I did now, and it's definitely missing the code.
It's not fixed in vs. 4.020 either.

I was going to offer to write a substitute routine for you over the weekend
but I just took a quick look at the data sheet and it appears to be a bit
more complicated than normal in that area. There are more caveats.
The data sheet gives an example of ASM code. It should be possible
to write a routine using that example. I just don't think I have the time
to commit to do it. I have got too much to do on Friday and on Sunday
as well (at work).

Hello,

Do you think I should report it as a bug?

I would be curious to see your replacement code, and next week would be all right.

Thank you for your help so far!!

Yes, you should report it.

Actually, I edited my post and revised it a bit in the area of promises
just before you posted your latest response.
Most of my time is already pre-committed on Friday (a customer needs
some boards repaired that day) and I'm supposed to get a schematic
done as well. Sunday is also committed. I can work on it, but it will be
later next week.

Hello,

No problem, I will do it from the datasheet, I just was curious to see your solution. You know, one can always learn from others.

I'm having exactly the same problem with the PIC18F24J10, using compiler 3.249. No error messages or indications at all - very annoying.

Did you get your solution to work? If so, could you post your code fragment?

Thanks.
