BANKSEL - Generate Bank Selecting Code

BANKSEL - Generate Bank Selecting Code

Syntax

banksel <label>

Description

For use when generating an object file. This directive is an instruction to the linker to generate bank selecting code to set the bank to the bank containing the designated <label>. Only one <label> should be specified. No operations can be performed on <label>. <label> must have been previously defined.

The linker will generate the appropriate bank selecting code. For 12-bit core devices, the appropriate bit set/clear instructions on the FSR will be generated. For 14-bit devices, bit set/clear instructions on the STATUS register will be generated. For the 16-bit core devices, MOVLB or MOVLR will be generated. For the enhanced 16-bit core devices, MOVLB will be generated. If the device contains only one bank of RAM, no instructions will be generated.

For more information, refer to Relocatable Objects.
