Pointers to high banks?

[guest]

I'm struggling to understand how CCS handles pointers...

I want to set up a pointer to some device registers in Bank3. When I look at the generated code, it seems to use only 8-bit pointers, ignoring the higher bits of the pointer and not setting the bank select bits in the STATUS register.

What am I doing wrong? This is an eg...

Add this line to your code:

#device *=16

It tells the compiler to use 16 bit pointers (for 14 bit parts).

In addition to Haplo's answer initialise the pointers inside main() as well.
