MOD517 Compiler Directive

Optional parameters, enclosed in parentheses, to control support for individual components of the 80C517.

The MOD517 directive instructs the Cx51 Compiler to produce code for the additional hardware components (the arithmetic processor and the additional data pointers) of the Infineon C517 or variants. This feature improves the performance of integer, long, and floating-point math operations, as well as functions that make use of the additional data pointers (memcpy, memmove, memcmp, strcpy, and strcmp).

Library functions that take advantage of the arithmetic processor have a 517 suffix. Refer to the Library Reference for details on these functions.)

Additional parameters may be specified with the MOD517 directive to control the Cx51 Compiler support of the individual components of the Infineon device. When specified, the parameters must appear within parentheses immediately following the MOD517 directive. Parentheses are not required if no additional parameters are specified.

Specifying both of these additional parameters with MOD517 has the same effect as using the NOMOD517 directive.

Note

• Although it may be specified several times in a source file, the MOD517 directive is valid only when defined outside of a function declaration.
• The Infineon C517 uses the DPSEL SFR to select the DPTR register. On the Evatronix R8051XC Core the same register has the name DPS. Evatronix also offers the BSE (Bank Switch Enable) for automatic DPTR selection with register bank switches.
• On Infineon C517 devices, the DPSEL SFR is located at address 0x92. However, some devices (like the Mentor M8051EW) locate DPSEL at a different address.
  
  The address for DPSEL is stored in a public symbol and may be changed by adding the following to an assembler source file like STARTUP.A51:

  PUBLIC ?C?DPSEL
  ?C?DPSEL DATA 0A2H   ; DPSEL address for Mentor M8051EW
