This does not work! copy the content of a string onto another: strcpy( s, "HELLO"); // s : "HELLO" append (or concatenate) two strings: strcat( s, " WORLD"); // s : "HELLO WORLD" determine the length of a string: i = strlen( s); // i : 11 and many more. 7 Memory space allocation char s[] = "Flying with the PIC24"; const char s[] = "Flying with the PIC24"; strcpy( s, “HELLO”); The string “HELLO” was implicitly defi ned as of const char type, and similarly assigned to the const section in program memory to be accessible via the Program Space Visibility window. 8 Program space visibility • The PIC24 architecture is somewhat different from most other 16-bit microcontroller architectures you might be familiar with. It was designed for maximum effi ciency according to the Harvard model, as opposed to the more common Von Neumann model. • The big difference between the two is that there are two completely separated and independent buses available, one for access to the Program Memory (Flash) and one for access to the Data Memory (RAM). • The PIC24 architecture offers two methods to read data from program memory: using special table access instructions (tblrd) and through a second mechanism, called the Program Space Visibility or PSV. This is a window of up to 32K bytes of program memory accessible from the data memory bus. In other words the PSV is a bridge between the program memory bus and the data memory bus. 9 Testing 10 Post-flight briefing • In this lesson, we have learned not only what data types are available and how much memory is allocated to them, but also how they affect the resulting compiled program— code size and the execution speed. • We used the MPLAB SIM simulator Stopwatch function to measure the number of instruction cycles (and therefore time) required for the execution of a series of code segments. • Some of the information gathered will, hopefully, be useful to guide our actions in the future when balancing our needs for precision and performance in embedded-control applications.
