What is the equivalent of EEDATA from BASIC and EWrite in C language?(How to use the EEPROM with xc8 compiler?)

I am having a very hard time figuring out how I can use: 

EEDATA = 0xFF, 0x00, 0xFF, 0x00, 0x01, 0x03 ;

and turn that into C code. From what I can understand, it's a way of allocating memory in BASIC, but I really do not know. If anyone out there could help I would much appreciate it.

It was programmed using PROTON. I believe it's got to do with EEPROM used for PIC hardware.

Solution

  • I am not really sure what you want to do. But I guess you want to preload your EEPROM with the XC8 compiler. Use the following code:

    __EEPROM_DATA(0xFF, 0x00, 0xFF, 0x00, 0x01, 0x03, 0x00, 0x00);

    Be sure to always use a block by 8 values.

    To write and read the EEPROM you can easily use the library functions:

    include xc.h


void eeprom_write(unsigned char addr, unsigned char value);
unsigned char eeprom_read(unsigned char addr);
