According to the PIC16F886 datasheet, and as far as I can tell, it has 4 program pages : 0x0000-0x07FF, 0x0800-0x0FFF, 0x1000-0x17FF and 0x1800-0x1FFF I'm however suprised that the sdcc / assembler / linker chain is able to fully and smartly populate the 2 first pages from a single .c file, and will be unable to reach the 3rd page... Which is however what I observe. I will try to follow you suggestion and split my program into several .c files - any clue for doing that appreciated as I'm no experienced C programmer, that's my 1st opus on such hardware with such language and compiler chain ;-) It however looks suboptimal to me to have to manually split the project into several source files and try to balance "code weight" between them. I would have hoped that some compiler parameter would have helped the thing to do it by itself more smartly than I would ;-) - especially because it obviously does it for the 2 1st pages... I'll give this solution a shot anyway. Thanks for your help, kind regards. -- Michel Bouissou (OpenPGP ID 0xEB04D09C) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
