Glossary
This glossary applies to al Microchip development tools documentation. Therefore,
some terms have tool-dependent meanings. An abbreviation of each tool is used to
identify each meaning. Currently, the following abbreviations are used:
IDE - MPLAB IDE
PM3 - MPLAB PM3 Programmer
C18 - MPLAB C Compiler for PIC18 MCUs
C30 - MPLAB C Compiler for PIC24 MCUs and dsPIC DSCs
ASM30 - MPLAB Assembler for PIC24 MCUs and dsPIC DSCs
Absolute Section
A section with a fixed (absolute) address that cannot be changed by the linker.
Access Memory
PIC18 Only – Special registers on PIC18 devices that allow access regardless of the
setting of the Bank Select Register (BSR).
Access Entry Points
Access entry points provide a way to transfer control across segments to a function
which may not be defined at link time. They support the separate linking of boot and
secure application segments.
Address
Value that identifies a location in memory.
Alphabetic Character
Alphabetic characters are those characters that are letters of the English alphabet
(a,b,…,z,A,B, …,Z).
Alphanumeric
Alphanumeric characters are comprised of alphabetic characters and integers
(0,1, …, 9).
ANDed Breakpoints
Set up an ANDed condition for breaking, i.e., breakpoint 1 AND breakpoint 2 must
occur at the same time before a program halt. This can only be accomplished if a data
breakpoint and a program memory breakpoint occur at the same time.
