AVR Freaks

Odd, yes I can add white space (then delete) in the main file and that also fixes the bug.

I added the file using the line shown above.

Make?... I don't use C and know nothing of such things.

What I do know is that I have been doing this the same way since 2002, and never had this issue until this morning.

Nothing has changed on this project since 2 years ago, and I was doing fun until a few hours ago.

Tried the obvious things... reboot, different system, shaved a yak, etc.

No big deal, just that this is the first time in 16 years of using studio (the same way) that this has happened.

Thanks,

Brad

Update...

Yes, renaming Core.s to Main.s fixes the "I forgot about your include" bug.

Not sure why that would cause the issue, but I have a feeling the letter C is going to have something to do with it!

For now, I will just continue to hit space and delete before compile... I don't like being told how to name my files.

Brad

Ok, I saved two version of the project...

1) Main.s with #include "UserCode.s"

2) Core.s with #include "UserCode.s"

I also had my first look at that make file mess, and in both files there is no reference to UserCode.s

Here is make from the version that actually remembers that I typed something...

I think I may just go back to looking up instruction values and typing them into a sector editor.

I did a bit more testing, and found that the only way to have AS7 assemble changes in my included file is to have a file called main.s or Main.s as the file that actually includes the "main:" global address.

The odd bug remains... simply hit space, then delete in the file (if it is not names main.s), and then AS7 wakes up and remembers to assemble the include file changes.

Even with the other file being added to the project like this, it still gets ignored after the first assemble...

In the project shown above, Q85 Core.s contains this...

.global main
main:

#include "Ball Demo.asm"

On first load, I can assemble normally.

If I change anything in Ball Demo, everything will assemble error free, but no changes are written from Ball Demo.

A workaround is to either reload the project, or add anything (even white-space) to Core.s

The other workaround is to just call the startup file Main.s.

For now, I am just going to go back to calling the startup file Main.s

Brad

Thanks for the ideas.

Tried everything above, and the bug still remains.

The only fix is to call the start file Main.s or press any key in the startup file before assemble.

At least I don't have to put a semicolon after every instruction... just trying to see the positive here!
