2nd paragraph, first sentence |
"As I have implemented it, the Blinking LED example
consists of three source modules: led.c and block.c."
This is indeed a bug. The phrasing was changed to:
"As I have implemented it, the Blinking LED example
consists of three source modules: led.c, blink.c, and
startup.asm."

2nd paragraph |
The following was added to the end of the paragraph:
If the address bus test fails, the address at which the
first error was detected will be returned. Otherwise, this
function returns NULL to indicate success.
The code used to read:
datum *
memTestAddressBus(volatile datum * baseAddress, unsigned long nBytes)
{
unsigned long offset;
unsigned long testOffset;
datum pattern = 0xAA;
datum antipattern = 0x55;
/*
* Set the address mask that will be used as a stop condition.
*/
unsigned long addressMask = (nBytes - 1);
int busWidth = 8 * sizeof(datum);
switch (busWidth)
{
case 8: break;
case 16: addressMask >>= 1; break;
case 32: addressMask >>= 2; break;
case 64: addressMask >>= 3; break;
}
/*
* Write the default pattern at each of the power-of-two offsets.
*/
It now reads:
datum*
memTestAddressBus(volatile datum * baseAddress, unsigned long nBytes)
{
unsigned long addressMask = (nBytes - 1);
unsigned long offset;
unsigned long testOffset;
datum pattern = (datum) 0xAAAAAAAA;
datum antipattern = (datum) 0x55555555;
/*
* Write the default pattern at each of the power-of-two offsets.
*/

All instances of |

in the code were changed back to:
/*

*/
as they were in the original printing.
NOTE that these changes undo some of the changes that were made in
the 3/00 reprint. Those previous changes broke the code, and are now
corrected.
