16F1708 HEF usage

[bschriek]

Compiler updated to 5.050 <12F1572.H>

We used the suggesions of Ttelmah in the past and this works great.
Now we have updated our compiler but we still have a small problem.
It seems the "erase_program_eeprom(HEF)" function doesn't work.

As you can read the function of mr Ttelmah underneath works great:
my_erase_program_eeprom(HEF);


And now we try to use the standard function underneath
erase_program_eeprom(HEF);
but we get:*** Error 12 "TP128BG001.c" Line 456(43,44): Undefined identifier -- erase_program_eeprom

Any idea?
Otherwise we will use the "my_erase_program_eeprom(HEF)" no big deal.

They seem to have 'omitted' the function on some chips.

Worth reporting it to them, then in the future it should be fixed, but that's why I wrote 'my version'...

OK, we will inform CCS and ask if they can add the command.
Thanks again.
Bas.

On this chip an erase is not needed. You can use the write functions to write to program memory without doing an erase first.


Thanks CCS,
We tried without this instruction and all works well.
Best regards,
Bas

If you remember, somewhere I pointed out that the write function is _meant_ to erase automatically if you write to the start of the page. Obviously this one, they have got working!..
