I am getting following compiler error with Keil compiler:
*** ERROR L107: ADDRESS SPACE OVERFLOW
SPACE: DATA
SEGMENT: _DATA_GROUP_
LENGTH: 002EH
Program Size: data=111.2 xdata=0 code=2709

The problem occurs if I take the size of string more than 40 i.e. char str[50]

But if I reduce the size of string to 40 or less than 40 then code compile without any error.

Please help me I need a string of around 160 length so that I can send an SMS using that string.]]> Sat, 02 Aug 2008 04:32:22 -0700 http://www.8051projects.net/forum-t11326.html Re: Strange problem with String length in 8051 http://www.8051projects.net/forum-t11326.html contact@nospam.com (Ajay Bhargav) Sat, 02 Aug 2008 11:22:24 -0700 http://www.8051projects.net/forum-t11326.html Re: Strange problem with String length in 8051 http://www.8051projects.net/forum-t11326.html maybe the problem is because the string is occupying the valuable RAM space( which is only 128 bytes in case of 8051). If the string is a fixed value ( u r not modifying the content in the program), try changing it to the following:
constant char str[50]
this will ensure that the string is stored in the program memory space instead of occupying the data RAM.

hi say2paul,

I cannot take it as constant as I need to append data to same string..

I think idata can work in this case as I am using AT89C55WD with 256 bytes of RAM.

as sashi said try using idata (use the indirect part of your controller ram)

e.g.
CODE:

unsigned char idata abc[50];
 


also if you want to use the external memory, its good but i would say a hectic process as reading and writing from eeprom is slow.

try giving idata a chance ]]> contact@nospam.com (Ajay Bhargav) Tue, 05 Aug 2008 09:13:23 -0700 http://www.8051projects.net/forum-t11326.html Re: Strange problem with String length in 8051 http://www.8051projects.net/forum-t11326.html As so truely said by ajay, EEPROM programming is slow but if u are planning to use 160 bytes for ur application ,then the uC will have only 96 bytes for all the other processing including the stack.
So i feel u should keep the other global variables and static variables to a minimum. Try using local variables (variables inside functions) wherever possible so that the same RAM can be reused by the uC for multiple functions making the code more efficient.
good luck.]]> contact@nospam.com (Ajay Bhargav) Tue, 05 Aug 2008 11:30:34 -0700 http://www.8051projects.net/forum-t11326.html
