I think you have to use the '.segment 1' statement in the microcode and keep the code that exceeds 1024 microwords. You can get the details on how to use this in section 2.5.17 of Microcode Programmers Reference Mannual. regards Hari -----Original Message----- From: Gregory Prier [mailto:greg@Lever.cs.ucla.edu] Sent: Saturday, January 11, 2003 4:52 AM To: ixp mailing list Subject: [ixp1200] problems when assembling micro code I have a relatively large micro code program that I am trying to assemble. I get these error messages: (17009): error : The numeric address value 1035 in field "branch_field" is too large to be represented in field. F:\src\dward\interface_ace\include\SlowIngress_h.uc(509): error : The previous error occurred while expanding macro. This repeats 4 times, and then: (0): error : Page, common_code, exceeds the 1024 address limit. (0): error : Unexpected error occurred during encoding phase. We are using an ixp1200 with a 2k instruction store. As far as we can tell our program should fit into this space. Has anyone else seen this same problem and how did they fix it? Thank you for the help.
