TASKING VX-toolset for ARM User Guide

TASKING VX-toolset for ARM User Guidevoid f(void) __at( 0xf0ff + 1 ) { }The function f is placed at address 0xf100.RestrictionsTake note of the following restrictions if you place a variable at an absolute address:• The argument of the __at() attribute must be a constant address expression.• You can place only global variables at absolute addresses. Parameters of functions, or automaticvariables within functions cannot be placed at absolute addresses.• A variable that is declared extern, is not allocated by the compiler in the current module. Hence it isnot possible to use the keyword __at() on an external variable. Use __at() at the definition of thevariable.• You cannot place structure members at an absolute address.• Absolute variables cannot overlap each other. If you declare two absolute variables at the same address,the assembler and/or linker issues an error. The compiler does not check this.1.4. Accessing Hardware from CIt is easy to access Special Function Registers (SFRs) that relate to peripherals from C. The SFRs aredefined in a special include file (*.h) as symbol names for use with the compiler.The TASKING VX-toolset for ARM supports the Cortex Micro-controller Software Interface Standard(CMSIS). You can find details about this standard on www.onarm.com.The product includes a full set of CMSIS files in the cmsis directory under the product installation directory.This includes SFR files for the supported devices and for the various Cortex cores. The organization ofthe CMSIS files in the product installation is as follows:cmsis/CM0/CoreSupportdirectory with Cortex-M0 header files and C filescmsis/CM0/DeviceSupport/vendor/device directory with Cortex-M0 device specific header filesand C filescmsis/CM3/CoreSupportdirectory with Cortex-M3 header files and C filescmsis/CM3/DeviceSupport/vendor/device directory with Cortex-M3 device specific header filesand C filesWhen you include CMSIS SFR file in your source you must set an include search path to the appropriateCMSIS directory.Example of including an SFR file:#include "stm32f10x.h"void main(void){4
