Re: [avr-gcc-list] Atmel .asm to avr-as xlator

[Dale Seaburg]

I thought of another question or two.  Where do I find information (FAQ
or HOWTO, perhaps) on how to designate which segment you are in: Code
(.text ?) RAM (.data ?) and EEPROM (?).  For that matter, how do you
specify these areas in a C program for the AVR?  Code and RAM area I
could see, but how about EEPROM?  Suppose you want to load your strings
in the flash area?  I assume the C compiler automatically puts all
variables in the .data area (RAM).  True?  If I knew the answers to
these questions (and a zillion more ;-)), then I could write a small C
program, do avr-gcc -S to capture the assembly and see what avr-as is
expecting.

What is the equivalent of the .def directive, where you want to
equivalence a register to a name? 

Also, what syntax is used to specify an origin (.org).  What would be
the equivalent of this: .org 0x60 ?

I have hand edited most of the .asm files to conform to avr-as, but I
still have a few things like the above that I don't know how to handle -
I simply don't know the syntax that avr-as expects.  If I could just lay
my hands on a good HOWTO or FAQ, maybe I'd not have to ask so many
questions :-)

Thanks for someone taking the time to help me.

Dale.
