Hello, Scott:

I do thank you for your help. If I would like to use user defined space, it looks like to have 8 bytes. Do I need to define global settings using macro name or I need to modify it in stdbios.lib?

Regards,

Yang

Also there are some macro variables to save product name, firmware version and so on. I found them in stdBios.C. In firmware_info.lib, the note told user how to define them. However, when I put #define _FIRMWARE_NAME_ "TEST" at beginning of my main C code. It always give me an error "invalid redefine of macro '_FIRMWARE_NAME_". Anybody know what is happened?
