C51: Getting inline assembly to work

Information in this article applies:

• C51 All Versions

Question

How do I implement inline assembly in C51 usingASMAnd
EndasmDirectives. I have read some of the KnowledgeBase articles relating to this problem, but I still cannot get it to work.

Answer

The following example program, Main. C, demonstrates some simple inline assembly.

Void main (void) {test (); # pragma asm jmp $; endless loop # pragma endasm}
 

The following rules apply to C51 inline assembly:

• To use # pragma ASM/endasm, you must setGenerate aggreger SRC FileAndAssemble SRC FileSource File compile options in µvision by right-clicking your source file name in the project workspace and selectingOptions
  For file.
• When usingGenerate aggreger SRC FileAndAssemble SRC FileOptions in µvision, if there are no other C modules in your project, you must manually include the C51 run-time Library (c51s. lib, c51m. lib, or c51l. lib ).

Method: (assume that there is only oneCCodeFile)

The1Step: Create a project and addCFile, compiled through

The4Step: SetKeilUnder the installation directoryC51/lib/c51s. Lib(If yesSmallMode) copy the file to the project directory

The5Step: Add a library fileC51s. LibFile to project, right-click'Source
Group 1', Select'Add files to group...', Select under the project directoryC51s. Lib, Click to open

The6Step: Open the project directory and you can see that the new extension is. SRCFile, change its extension. A51

The7Step: add this. A51File to the project (this time the project containsC51s. LibLibrary file, otherwise the compilation will generate5The warning described in step and the generatedHEXFiles cannot be correctly run by single-chip microcomputer)
