Hello,
I keep getting an error when trying to Compile any program in PIC Simulator IDE \, no matter how simple it is. Im trying to write a program that adds 7F9AH to BC48H and save the result in RAM memory locations starting at 40H. Here is my code:

org 0;
clr C
mov A, #48h
add A, #9ah ; 48h + 9ah
mov r0, A
mov A, #0bch
addc A, #7fh ; bc + 7f
mov r1, A
mov 40h, r1 ;storing into 40h
mov 41h, r0

End

What am I missing here?

 

Which line gives the error, and what is the error message?

[EDIT] That doesn't look like PIC assembler code.

The error I get is:
Error in Line 1: Syntax Error.

 

Which assembler are you using?

 

I'm using the BASIC compiler in PIC Simulator IDE. It has the option to Compile, Assemble, and Load.

 

BASIC compiler

You are using MPLAB or MPLABX IDE?
They use MPASM as the assembler.

 

Neither - Oshonsoft PIC Simulator. I do have MPLABX IDE, but I just downloaded it and haven't really set it up yet.

 

hi,
I use Oshonsoft, which PIC type are you using.?
E

 

PIC18F4520.

 

hi,
OK,
Please post your complete code including the header and I will run it in my IDE.

That assembly is for the 8051 processor... It'll never assemble.. you can use the oshonsoft 8051 ide..

 

Also... If you are using a pic18, then the pic ide is also no good for you.. The pic18 ide from oshonsoft will have to be used..

Sorry I wasn't clear. I am using the PIC18 Simulator IDE.

As pointed out, the Code you have posted is not for a PIC.??

That doesn't make any sense, heads or tails, to me.
Sounds like a BASIC compiler.

 

To be honest, I'm fumbling my way through this course. I think I was able to figure it out. By loading the code into the assembler, I was able to get a little further. Now I'm getting an "Unrecognized instruction" error for line 2 and on. I've added ; to each line, made sure they are all lined up by using the TAB, and nothing seems to work.

 

hi j,
My request for a complete code listing seems to be falling on deaf ears.

Is this a College assignment.?

It is...
My code is at the top - first post.

 

Have you looked at the instruction set for your device and IDE? As Ian also pointed out, the mnemonics are different than what your code uses. Of course, an assembler might be built that converts the mnemonics you use to the proper instructions, e.g., "addc" could translate to a macro or to "addwfc," but whether that is what you have is unclear.



I know what I copied is not the same chip, but it is the same family.

Just to clarify. The posted code is NOT BASIC. It’s assembler. Unless you use directives to tell the compiler that the following code is assembler and NOT BASIC, I would assume that you are assembling the code and not compiling BASIC.

I hope that you’ve realized this point and are using assembler rather than BASIC.
