PIC SFR's

[Dave S]

Hi, I am a new user of Flowcode having previously programmed PIC's in assembler. I was wondering if I can access the PIC special function registers such as TMR0, ADCON1, TRISB etc. during simulation. I cant find them in the WATCH window, only user created registers.

If this is not possible can they be accessed using the FLOWKIT debugging tool?

Thanks,

Dave.

The contents of these registers cannot be accessed in simulation.

With FlowKit, you would need to create a Flowcode variable for each SFR you wish to monitor and then put a C code icon in the program flow at the point where you wish to monitor the SFR(s). The C code window should basically set the variable(s) to the SFR value(s). Then, when you put a breakpoint after this C code icon, you will be able to see the SFR value.

Flowcode V5 will have a better mechanism for doing this.

Just got around to trying this out. Works very well. Thanks again.
