Glossary
File Registers
On-chip data memory, including General Purpose Registers (GPRs) and Special
Function Registers (SFRs).
Flash
A type of EEPROM where data is written or erased in blocks instead of bytes.
FNOP
Forced No Operation. A forced NOP cycle is the second cycle of a two-cycle
instruction. Since the PIC microcontroller architecture is pipelined, it prefetches the
next instruction in the physical address space while it is executing the current
instruction. However, if the current instruction changes the program counter, this
prefetched instruction is explicitly ignored, causing a forced NOP cycle.
Frame Pointer
A pointer that references the location on the stack that separates the stack-based
arguments from the stack-based local variables. Provides a convenient base from
which to access local variables and other values for the current function.
Free-Standing
A C compiler implementation that accepts any strictly conforming program that does
not use complex types and in which the use of the features specified in the ISO library
clause is confined to the contents of the standard headers <float.h>, <iso646.h>,
<limits.h>, <stddef.h> and <stdint.h>.
GPR
General Purpose Register. The portion of device data memory (RAM) available for
general use.
Halt
A stop of program execution. Executing Halt is the same as stopping at a breakpoint.
Heap
An area of memory used for dynamic memory allocation where blocks of memory are
allocated and freed in an arbitrary order determined at runtime.
Hex Code
Executable instructions stored in a hexadecimal format code. Hex code is contained in
a hex file.
Hex File
An ASCII file containing hexadecimal addresses and values (hex code) suitable for
programming a device.
High Level Language
A language for writing programs that is further removed from the processor than
assembly.
ICD
In-Circuit Debugger. MPLAB ICD and MPLAB ICD 2 are Microchip’s in-circuit
debuggers for PIC16F87X and PIC18FXXX devices, respectively. These ICDs work
with MPLAB IDE.
ICE
In-Circuit Emulator. MPLAB ICE 2000 and 4000 are Microchip’s in-circuit emulators
that work with MPLAB IDE.
