DSEG

Data Segment.

The DSEG directive defines the start of a Data segment. An assembler source file can consist of several data segments, which are concatenated into a single data segment when assembled. A data segment will normally consist of BYTE directives (and labels) only. The Data Segments have their own location counter which is a byte counter. The ORG directive can be used to place the variables at specific locations in the SRAM. The directive does not take any parameters.

Syntax

.DSEG

Example

.DSEG ; Start data segment 
var1: .BYTE 1 ; reserve 1 byte to var1 
table: .BYTE tab_size ; reserve tab_size bytes.

.CSEG 
ldi r30,low(var1) ; Load Z register low 
ldi r31,high(var1) ; Load Z register high 
ld r1,Z ; Load var1 into register 1
