Hi, when I was new to the avr-gcc (and still fairly new to C), I read the eeprom like this:
unsigned char eeread(unsigned char address)
{
while(EECR & _BV(EEWE));
EEAR = address;
EECR |= _BV(EERE);
return EEDR;
}
Not the ideal
way of doing it, but it worked fine. I moved my code over from my debian system to winavr, which had a later version of the compiler.
The above code now causes the device to reset. I have experienced this on an Atmega128, and an Atmega8.
I can get things working again simply by using the eeprom.h routines in avr-libc, but I believe the above code should still work!
I currently have the latest version of winavr, I dont remember which compiler version I was running under debian.
Can anybody shed any light on this? Why would the above code cause a reset when it used to work?
Regards,
Michael.
