The following default segments are provided by the assembler and associated with spe-
cific address spaces as shown in the following table:
For a detailed description of these segments, see the
You can define your own segments in these address spaces using the DEFINE assembler
directive. For example:
DEFINE romseg, SPACE=ROM ; Defines the new segment romseg
SEGMENT romseg ; Sets the current segment to romseg

Unconventional Memory Layouts
It might be necessary for a target design to locate memory or I/O in an address range that
the ZDS II GUI does not directly accommodate. Some GUI address range limitations can
be circumvented, as follows:
•
The GUI rejects an ERAM range lower boundary setting below
80_0000H
. If the tar-
get locates external volatile memory below this address, an unrestricted ERAM range
can be configured by adding an edited linker RANGE command to the
Additional
Linker Commands
field of the ZDS II project settings. For example, if the target pro-
vides 8MB of extended RAM at address
70_0000H
, you would use this command:
RANGE ERAM $700000 : $FEFFFF
•
The GUI rejects a RAM range upper boundary setting above
FF_BFFFH
. If the target
uses the space above this address for external volatile memory instead of external I/O,
a higher RAM upper boundary (up to
FF_DFFFH
) can be configured by adding an
edited linker RANGE command to the
Additional Linker Commands
field of the
ZDS II project settings. The debugger memory window always displays addresses
above
FF_BFFFH
as part of the I/O Data space, however. For example, if the target
provides 24KB of combined internal and external RAM beginning at
FF_8000H
, you
would use this command:
RANGE RAM $FF8000 : $FFDFFF
