'problems writing to EEPROM data area 16C84'

Hi,

I'm not having any luck with my attempts to write to the EEPROM data area
of my 16C84. Can anyone suggest where I'm going wrong...please.

I'm using the MPASM assembler and I get the following error message
when I try and use the Option, and EECON registers (repeats for every mention
of these registers)

Warning EEDATA.ASM 77 : Argument out of range: EECON1 (0088).
                       Least significant bits used.
Warning EEDATA.ASM 79 : Argument out of range: EECON2 (0089).
                       Least significant bits used.
Warning EEDATA.ASM 266 : Argument out of range: OPTION (0081).
                       Least significant bits used.


Heres the relevant section of my code:

Your code appears that it will work.  Did you try ignoring the warnings
and trying to run it in a chip or simulator?

The warnings occur because the addresses of these registers are in page
1.  You must have a very old version of the assmebler because the new
one's warning message is slightly more explanatory, something to the
effect of: "Address not in page 0.  Ensure page select bits are set."
Since you did set the page select bits, the program will work.

The best workaround to this is to write instructions that access page 1
registers like this:
       movwf   EECON2^0x80
Xoring the high bit with a 1 will clear it to 0, so the assembler won't
have to discard high bits.  And if you make a mistake like thinking the
EEDATA register is in page 1:
       movfw   EEDATA^0x80
the xor will set the high bit, and the assembler will issue a warning.

On your program, it isn't necessary to wait for a read to complete, as it
only takes 1 cycle so you can fetch the data from EEDATA immediately
after setting the RD bit.  The RD bit will never read as 1 since it
clears immediately.  In the write routine, you can allow interrupts while
waiting for the write to complete (if the ISR doesn't read the EEPROM).
