hi i have been coding on the code composer in the emulator . my project contains 4 source files . i have a global variable in teh file containong main ... but when i try to access it through the sub routine which is present in the other file , in which the global variable is refrenced as extern , it dont take the value , i have enabled teh file-level optimization in te compiler options ... anybody have any idea ?

Hello Saqib 1- Global variables are typicaly loaded using direct addressing. Make sure the DP register is correct or has not been corrupted 2- Have you linked the correct RTS libraries. Mixing large/small memory models and or libraries with the non-matching register passing can lead to side effects. 3- You did not say exactly what was not working, but if this involves a math function other than the base add/sub/mpy functions (EG handled in hardware), you might need to add #inclide <math.h> to the top of your file. This compiler does not report missing prototype functions (an interesting loop-hool in the old ANSI-C standards). If no prototype is known, the compiler will assume integer input and outputs per the count of the calling function. 4- Tell the linker create a map file for you and make sure the variables storage location looks sensible. Might be reserved or non-existing memory? 5- Open (or relocate) a memory window at that location. You should see the variable name and you should be able to edit the displayed data.
