Post by thread:More MPLAB comments and gripes!

More MPLAB comments and bugs. 1. Where's my SSP shift register? The help file claims this pseudo-registe r is available for viewing in the special functions register. Don't see it there or in the watch window. 2. Problems with deselected windows always covering up the others. For instance, open up the Asynchronous Stimulus window. Then, open the help file. I can't seem to get the help file to cover the Asynch Stim window. 3. I get a 100:1 slowdown in execution speed when the Asynch Stim window is open. (4 instructions per second is pretty darn slow, and this is on a dx2-66!) 4. What's the official power-up value of BF in SSPSTAT? I can get the sim to give me 0 or 1. Power-on reset doesn't seem to affect the value, but my databook claims 0. Any thoughts? 5. A cool stepping function would be 'run until return'. That way, if you get into a long subroutine and see that things are going to work out you don't have to single step through a long routine (say, a floating point divide!). I guess I could scroll down and set a break, but I usually don't put labels at the end of routines. later, newell
