7.7.8.47. GEL_MapAddStr()

Adds to the memory map.

Syntax

GEL_MapAddStr( address, page, length, "attribute", waitstate );

Parameters

address: Starting address of a range in memory. This Parameters can be an absolute address, any C expression, the name of a C function, or an assembly language label.

page: Identifies the type of memory to fill: 0 (Program memory), 1 (Data memory) or 2 (I/O space) For processors which do not have more than one type of memory, use 0 for this Parameters. For simulated targets, the I/O Space option is not supported.

length: Defines the length of the range. This Parameters can be any C expression

attribute: Defines one or more attributes for the specified memory range. The attributes must be enclosed in quotation marks. See Predefined Attribute Strings. Additional attributes may be supported for your device driver.

More than one attribute can be specified. Use the vertical bar "|" character to separate multiple attributes. For example, "R|W|P" is equivalent to "IOPORT".

Access size can be specified using "ASn", where n is the access size in bytes. For example, "R|AS4" specifies 32 bits ROM.

The attribute "SHnC" can be used to define a block of shared memory.

waitstate: Defines the number of waitstates. When reading from or writing to slower external memory, the CPU waits one extra clock cycle for every waitstate. The waitstate Parameters accepts any non-negative integer value (for example: 0, 1, 2, 3).

Description

This function adds one or more attributes for a range of target memory to the memory map. If the range overlaps an existing entry, the attributes of the new range take precedence in the memory map.

Defining Shared Memory describes how to use these attributes to add a range of shared memory to the memory map.

Synchronous from GEL: Yes

Completely synchronous: Yes

Example

GEL_MapAddStr(0x1000, 0, 0x300, "RAM", 0);
GEL_MapAddStr(0x1000, 0, 0x300, "R|W|P", 0);
GEL_MapAddStr(0x1000, 0, 0x300, "R|W|AS1", 0);// 8 bits RAM
GEL_MapAddStr(0x1000, 0, 0x300, "R|AS4", 0); // 32 bits ROM
