This guide provides instructions on migrating from MPASM to MPLAB® XC8 compiler. It covers migrating to the new compiler's syntax, features, and command-line options.
This document serves as a migration guide for customers transitioning from MPASM projects to the MPLAB XC8 PIC Assembler. It provides essential information on file types, command-line options, and relocatable code features specific to the new assembler environment.
The guide details the differences in expressions, operators, and assembler directives between the two tools. It includes specific sections on directives such as Access_ovr, Badram, Bankisel, and various data directives like Data, Db, De, and Dw, helping users understand syntax changes and new capabilities.
This guide is for customers who have MPASM projects and who wish to migrate them to the MPLAB XC8 PIC assembler.
