How to use a custom component

Hi Mig,

Try explicitly casting the expression in brackets to a pointer e.g.

*((int*)(custom_component_base + addr)) = data;

// read

dataread = *((int*)(custom_component_base + addr));

Alternatively, define custom_component_base as a pointer rather than an integer type. If you do that, make sure that the offset that you add to the base address is correct for the pointer type, e.g.

int *ptr=1000;

*ptr=1;

*(ptr+1)=2;

would write to addresses 1000 and 1004 because an int is 4 bytes.

whereas

char *ptr=1000;

*ptr=1;

*(ptr+1)=2;

would write to addresses 1000 and 1001 because a char is 1 byte.

Cheers

sb
