-

[Specify the PIC/PIROD/PID offset]

Select [Yes]. [PIC Offset], [PIROD Offset] and [PID Offset] will appear.

-

[PIC Offset]

Specify an offset in the code section from the original address allocated at the time the load module was created.

-

[PIROD Offset]

Specify an offset in the constant section from the original address allocated at the time the load module was created.

Adding a Download File and Changing Conditions for Downloading (Download Files Dialog Box)

 

When the load module is downloaded after the values of [PIC Offset], [PIROD Offset] and [PID Offset] have been changed, the allocation of addresses for the code section and external or static variables is changed as shown in the figure below.

The figure shows examples of downloading a load module; "4000" and "0" are specified for [PIC Offset], [PIROD Offset], and [PID Offset] in the Download Files dialog box in the figures above and below, respectively.

In the figure above, "0x4000" is added to the base address.
