Using MPLAB with salvo

[tarun172]

Hello,
         This is Tarun. I am still relatively new with MPLAB. I complied and ran few programs on MPLAB 8.88. I am using a PIC12 micro controller. Recently, I was given an old project to work with. This project uses SALVO RTOS. The code was complied in the older MPLAB. Every time I try compiling this program, I get a bunch of errors. Reading all the documents tell me that I have a compiler/linker/debugger/macros/preprocessor settings problem. Does anybody have any experience with SALVO RTOS or RTOS in general running on MPLAB?

You may need to modify / add includes / define constants to get the information on hardware. The reason for this is that message such as :
"undefined identifier "GPIO3" look like a reference to hardware which is usually provide by the includes. **it may just be a "compiler/linker/debugger/macros/preprocessor settings problem. "  as you suggested.

e.g. you might want to follow the advice "Warning [162] C:\Program Files (x86)\HI-TECH Software\PICC\9.83\include\pic12f683.h; 3.81 #warning: Header file pic12f683.h included directly. Use #include <htc.h> instead"  ** though it might not make a difference. Though in general the fewer warnings the better.

And according to the SALVO pdf, the 12F683 isn't supported...

For the message
Error   [500] ; 0. undefined symbols:....

It is likely caused by:

• The file containing the functions has not been built
• The functions being contained in an #if condition such that they are included based on the micrcontroller. As the PIC12f683 is not officially the functions might be excluded by default

@adam1213. I manage to get it project to compile today. I had read the entire salvo user manual to figure the last error out . After trying for a while, I found that compiler is unable to find definition of these functions located in specific files. I added salvo files specific to those functions in my source directory. The list of functions and file are given on Page 405 of salvo user manual.

Today, I plan to run more tests to see if this is working. Thanks a ton for helping.
