Multi-bank programming
Archiver
Posts: 46,084
Hi All,
I have read the N&V cloumn # 87 on multi-bank programming, but it is still
not clear how I download programs to different slots. The passing of vars
back and forth via the scratchpad makes sense, and so does the run command,
but I can't seem to find where it talks about downloading to different
slots.
Another question, must all slots be downloaded to at the same time, or can
just the contents of one slot be changed?
Thanks,
Jonathan

Jonathan, if you have downloaded your program with the various slots, and
then make a change to one of the slots, you will see that only the changed slot
downloads. Watch the slot bars when you download. The exception is when you
download after the Stamp has been turned off, then back on. In this case all
slots will download again. Am I msaking it clear?

One other thing, Jonathan. You don't "download to the slots". You write
your program in each slot then download that slot to the Stamp.

Yup, that makes sense. What I still don't get is how to download into the
different slots.

This is quoted from the PBASIC manual...hope it helps:
' {$STAMP BS2e, file2, file3, ..., file8}
Use this form of the STAMP directive if a project, consisting of
multiple files, is desired. This directive must be entered into the
first program (to be downloaded into program slot 0) and not in any
of the other files in the project. The file2, file3, etc. items
should be the actual name (and optionally the path) of the other
files in the project. File2 refers to the program that should be
downloaded into program slot 1, file3 is the program that should be
downloaded into program slot 2, etc. If no path is given, the path of
program 0 (the program in which the $STAMP directive is entered) is
used.

1. Make a BS2pe file called 'hi'. Save it to disk
2. Make a BS2pe file called 'hi2'. Save it to disk
3. Make a BS2pe file called 'hello'. On the first line,
make it:
'{$STAMP BS2pe, Hi,Hi2}
Save as 'hello'. Click the 'check Syntax' button.
What you'll have now is three tabs marked 0:hello.bpe,
1:hi.bpe, and 2:hi2.bpe.
What's in 0: goes to the first slot. What's in 1 goes
to the next slot and so forth. It's that magic
'$STAMP' directive that does this.

Negative - you will get an "EEPROM FULL" error and the program will not
tokenize.

tell you. At that point, you either trim your code or move portions to
another bank. I wrote an article about multi-bank programming that
details the strategy I use when a second bank is required in one of my
projects. You can find it on our we site under Downloads/Nuts & Volts
Columns.

into 2k 'chunks'. To use another partition,
you must 'run' a program in that partition

There are methods which you can apply to
implement 'subroutine' like functionality in
other partitions, but it certainly is NOT
'automatic'.

Okay, okay.... I wrote a program, it ran out of room, and I spent HOURS
trimming it to fit into what I thought was the WHOLE memory. I guess I

Jon can cram so much code into such a small space. There are tips and
tricks not widely known that will cut your program size quite a bit.

to do.

I wished I had learned of Tracy Allens Stack program example much
earlier in my code development process.
I am re-writing my code based on Tracy's example. My code is now way
easier to read and it is much smaller.
My code is smaller because it now uses the same function to display a
prompt on the LCD no matter which bank I am currently running. I
also use a function repeatedly for getting my input from the keyboard.
Tracy's example can select one of sixteen target functions per bank.
Sixteen target functions just wasn't enough in one of my banks so I
added up to 256 subtargets per target function.
Just let you imagination go and it is amazing what you can do with a
Stamp.
Take care,
Frank

How many of you do or want to do multi-bank programming?
I wished I had learned of Tracy Allens Stack program example much
earlier in my code development process.

easier to read and it is much smaller.

many ways to structure and implement a program. And I know we agree
that it is important to follow a structure as a program grows.
Most of my programs are multi-bank now. The routines for the AT45
memory chip take up almost an entire bank all by themselves. The
initial menu and command parser are bank zero, and the user interface
for changing parameters, setting the real time clock etc is in
another bank, and the main loop is in another bank, sometimes
spilling over for fancy sensors or processing. For example, the
Intersema barometer takes a bank all its own. I like to leave empty
space in a lot of the banks, in case those tasks need to expand
within the existing structure.
Another bank stores sunrise and sunset times as an interpolation
table. The STORE command in the BS2p and BS2pe are a huge asset for
crossbank programming, well worth the price. The STORE command
allows you to read and write data stored in any bank, not just the
current bank.
I use the approach I outlined on my web site at
http://www.emesystems.com/BS2sx.htm, which is essentially a single
level stack. I call the bank-switching variable lola (after the part
played by Franka Potente in the 1999 German film, Run Lola Run, "Lola
Rennt").
The the jump from one bank to the next is,
RUN lolaRun ' the upper nibble of lola is the bank to run.
and in that next bank,
ON lolaGo GOTO task0,task1,..... ' the lower nibble specifies a routine
and to return to the first bank
GET back, lola ' previously PUT the return vector, back, in scratchpad
and in the first bank,
ON lolaGo GOTO task0,tack1,..... ' the return vector.
So, the structure is symmetrical and passes through that one
variable, which is always the first variable in the Stamp memory. At
the same URL, there is a description of a deeper Stack technique that
allows nested interbank calls, but I hardly ever find that necessary.
As the Stamp must manage the stack pointer, it is slower and prone to
weird bugs if not managed correctly.

My hosting service runs Redhat Linux on an Apache server. I have
asked them if there is an easy way to make URL requests case
insensitive, but they tell me, no, case sensitivity is a deeply
embedded in Linux. If anyone here knows a way around that (not too
complicated!) I would sure like to hear about it.
