      From: tnp@invalid.invalid              It seems C has caught the disease of 'we will modify your code according       to what WE think it means'..              ..my pointers to 254 byte structures are going haywire when I add 256       bytes to them...I have to add one instead...       ..add that to the fact that to write to flash RAM you need to specify       the *offset* from flash RAM base, but to read it you need to use the       actual hardware address...              sigh.              What is the generic type for a simple pointer to presumably bytes, in ARM C?       Or should I resign myself to doing everything in 256byte chunks? the       structure to be read and written from Flash is exactly that big for       obvious hardware reasons...                            --       It is the folly of too many to mistake the echo of a London coffee-house       for the voice of the kingdom.              Jonathan Swift              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
