"Can't convert address of const into non-const ptr." when using the eeprom_memcpy() function. (KB210) – Knowledge Base

Question Detail

I encounter an error when using the eeprom_memcpy() function. The example in the Rev 2 Neuron C Reference Guide results in an error of: "Can't convert address of const into non- const ptr."

Solution

The example on page 3-40 of the Rev 2 Neuron C Reference Guide is incorrect. See the code snippet below for an appropriate usage example.

eeprom far widget[100];

far ram_buf[100];

when ( . . . ) { . . .

// Turn-on relaxed casting to allow

// the RAM-to-EEPROM copy to occur.

#pragma relaxed_casting_on

eeprom_memcpy(widget, ram_buf, 100);

#pragma relaxed_casting_off

. . . }
