C251: LIMITS.H HEADER FILE PROBLEMS

QUESTION

Why does the LIMITS.H from DK251 have different values from the PK51?

ANSWER

This was a mistake in the CA251 and DK251 V2.14 release. The correct LIMITS.H file may be downloaded from the Keil web site or you may copy the updated file below:

/*--------------------------------------------------------------------------
LIMITS.H

ANSI standard include file for C251 Version 2.
