MPLAB Error with Assembly

ELECTRONERD · Jan 8, 2011

Hey Everyone,

I've just started learning assembly and have, of course, encountered some problems. I believe the code isn't really a problem, but rather the adequate directories in my build options? Although I'm not sure what settings are necessary in order to vindicate a successful build.

The PIC I'm using is irrelevant at this point, as I am just trying to get a successful build in sequence. Does anybody know what's wrong?

I would appreciate your assistance!

Thanks,

Austin

What errors do you get?
I think you need to set the device in the "configure, select device" menu as well as in the code. Otherwise it works for me without any problems.

ELECTRONERD · Jan 8, 2011

Here are the errors, and I did change the "Configure---> Select Device" option to the particular PIC I'm using.

EDIT: I now recall that I had this same "'__DEBUG" error when I was utilizing C as my language. The problem was fixed by setting the build options appropriately, but since this is ASM, I'm not sure what settings are correct? Perhaps there are other settings as well?

Markd77 · Jan 8, 2011

The first error is in the Wait subroutine. "Delay" should be "Delay1"

The second error is a bit odd because it is "Expected END" and you have the end statement. I'll have an investigate tomorrow but it's beer o'clock now.

The "Debug is defined" thing isn't an error, it's supposed to say that.

wannaBinventor · Jan 8, 2011

I've had a few brews, so take what I saw with a grain of salt.

As to the errors:

"Delay" isn't defined. In your CBLOCK directive you defined "Delay1", "Delay2", and "Delay3" but there is no "Delay defined there.
Basically, the assembler doesn't know where to put it because you didn't define it.

I'm not positive on the "expected END" error, but I will tell you that I put my subroutines BEFORE my main program. I'd also but a "GOTO START" after the "ORG 0"

Here's how I'd redo the code..... see if it works for you.
Make sure you put two underscores before the CONFIG. This compiles fine.

I got it to compile as well after changing Delay, adding the double underscore to config, but I also had to delete "&_DATA_CP_OFF" from the CONFIG to get it to complie.

Mark, I implemented the same changes you advised and get the following errors with this code:

I don't think this is a bug problem anymore, but rather my settings. What are both your settings in build options?

What would be better, I noticed, is to have code that lists numbers for each line. So, I posted it in mufnet.

My updated code.

wannaBinventor's modified code.

Markd77 · Jan 9, 2011

I don't have any settings, I'm using Quickbuild mode.
You seem to still be getting odd errors, suggesting that the wrong PIC device is selected and also some of the problems like "Delay" that have been fixed are still in the error report. Maybe project files are corrupted, although I've never seen it before.
Maybe copy the code and create a new project in a new directory, or try without creating a project to see what happens.

I tried restoring the default settings and when I build, I get the picture in the attachment. What should I do? You can find your settings for this in: Project ---> Build Options ---> Project --->MPASM/C17/C18 Suite.

Also, where is the "Quickbuild" mode? How can I confer my settings with yours?

Markd77 · Jan 9, 2011

Absolute every time.

Quickbuild mode, you just go to file menu, click new, then save with the ".asm" extension. You can then use quickbuild in the project menu. It's OK for testing code but your screen layout and other things don't get saved.

I tried a new project file, and it creates more problems. Now my build stops right in the middle and won't continue; it keeps saying "Executing...".

Markd77 · Jan 9, 2011

I haven't changed any settings since installing about a week ago. (It's on Ubuntu running with WINE, but that shouldn't make any difference).
I think you've covered all the possibilities I can think of now, does seem a strange problem.
I think I heard once that there are problems with long paths, ie. putting the files in C:\pic would under some circumstances work, while a long path would cause problems. Not sure if that is the case any more.
Might be an idea to try the Microchip forums too, there are a lot of experts on there.

BUILD FAILED

I don't think this is a bug problem anymore, but rather my settings. What are both your settings in build options?

Something is wrong here. There's no way you should be able to get an "Error: ...not previously defined 'delay' " because my code changed that.

Where is that error 126 taking you when you double click on it. Also, off the top of my head try and delete the "p" before the "p16F648a.inc" directive. The assembly can also act funny if you don't have everything justified correctly.

Look at an example program and then match the spacing and what not on those.

t06afre · Jan 10, 2011

here is a zipped project that works just fine. No errors at all. You can try it.

ELECTRONERD · Jan 11, 2011

This is my exact problem now, since the build just freezes. Can someone attach the MPASMWIN.exe file they have (and please, one who has successfully built programs), since that appears to be corrupt on the latest version? I'm going to replace it with the current version I have.

Markd77 · Jan 11, 2011

The first link is from a working 8.63 running on my ubuntu, the second is from a working version on Vista, but I'm not 100% sure what version it is. I'll probably delete them off my site after a few days so get them while they're hot.

I forgot to mention that I have Windows XP, and that my computer is junk.

Markd77 · Jan 11, 2011

XP, the best ever operating system from MS. Any luck with either of the files? I forgot to mention that you have to rename one of them but you probably knew that. I'm using a windows emulator so the file should be exactly the same as on a windows system.

I use MPLAB with PICKITs and ICD and all is running well under XP. But then I use 8.60 Perhaps It is best to backup all that you need, uninstall the all microchip software and then delete all under C:\Program files\Microchip\MPLAB IDE. So do a fresh install with a fresh download of MPlab 8.60 form Microchip http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/MPLAB_IDE_v8_60.zip
