C51: What Is the Address Range Acceptable by XBYTE Macro


Information in this article applies to:

  • Keil PK51 All Versions

QUESTION

When I use the XBYTE macro, what is the largest element I can access? In the following example, how long may Z be?

#define Z 0x0000

XBYTE[Z] = 0xAA;
XBYTE[Z] = 0x55;

ANSWER

Macros, like XBYTE and CBYTE, may be used to access explicit memory addresses. These macros access the full XDATA or CODE address spaces which are 64K Bytes long. Therefore, the largest value you may specify for the XBYTE or CBYTE index is 65535.

MORE INFORMATION

  • Refer to XBYTE in the Cx51 User's Guide.
