Hi all,
I'm working on a project using the Keil C51 assembler on a Silicon Labs EFM8BB2 project. We're trying to port it to a BB1 (now that we have most of the features coded and the code is undergoing compression to fit), but I'd like it to conditionally build for either platform.
What I currently have in an assembly file (the RAM test function) is the following:
$IF (BB2 == 1) ;$include (SI_EFM8BB2_Defs.inc) ; SFR declarations $ELSE $include (SI_EFM8BB1_Defs.inc) ; SFR declarations $ENDIF
"BB2" or "BB1" is defined for the specific build. For the Debug version, I'd like to leave it as BB2, because the debug code adds a bunch of extra functionality: mostly putting strings out through the UART port. (Most of the extra is actually storage of the strings themselves.)
My problem is that if I uncomment the "BB2" include, the "BB1" build fails because it can't find the SFR file. (I also set the include paths according to the BB1/BB2 status.) I should add that vice-versa applies.
I have just done an apparently successful build with both uncommented by adding include paths for both SFR files. This builds from the SiLabs IDE, but the command line build by our CI system fails. I'm still trying to track that failure mode down.
Question: Is there a way to do the conditional include in the C51 assembler without having to add both include paths?
Thanks,
Geoff
And yes, I have done a search for "conditional includes assembler" with nothing particularly useful for this platform.
I've also considered modifying my include paths to be one level up from there and then specifying the subdirectory for the platform. This did not, unfortunately, fix the issue with the CI build.
The CI is GitLab.
Note that C51 is the Compiler;
The Assembler is called A51.
The A51 manual says you should be able to use the 'C' prepreocessor:

Have you tried that?
re the above you do as you want, I ALWAYs do it this way
if a ..... else if b ...... else OOPS endif
You're quite right Andrew, it's not C51 for the assembler at all. When I look at the settings, the command is actually AX51.
I have now changed the inclusion to this format: #ifdef BB2 #include "SI_EFM8BB2_Defs.inc" ; SFR declarations #else #include "SI_EFM8BB1_Defs.inc" ; SFR declarations #endif
It seems to work very nicely, thank you.
I'm still having issues with the CI build, but I think that's a slightly different problem.
Hi Joe Blow,
The else OOPS clause is elsewhere in my build: I don't feel the need to put it everywhere.
Probably wouldn't hurt, though.
