| reading and writing 32-bit data in/from eeprom |

Hi,
I am reading and writing 16-bit data in eeprom using macros like following
| Code: |
#define mReadWord(addr) make16(read_eeprom(addr+1),read_eeprom(addr)) //macros for read and write on
#define mWriteWord(addr,data) write_eeprom(addr,make8(data,0));write_eeprom((addr+1),make8(data,1));}//eeprom
|
Now I want to write 3-bit data in eeprom, can I do something like that
| Code: |
#define mReadLong(addr) make32(read_eeprom(addr+3),read_eeprom(addr+2),read_eeprom(addr+1),read_eeprom(addr))
#define mWriteLong(addr,data) {write_eeprom(addr,make8(data,0));write_eeprom((addr+1),make8(data,1));write_eeprom((addr+2),make8(data,2));write_eeprom((addr+3),make8(data,3));} |

something is lost in posting of your question
3 bit data can easily be stored as a single byte using a simple mask to hide the unused bits.
now if you meant 24 bit data ( 3 BYTES), then simply store them as a 32 bit word,again you could mask off the unused bits of the data. |

Yes you can. If you are really needing only three bytes (24 bit) then only store that many. There's no reason to waste space if you will never use it. You can just pass 0 for the missing fourth byte to make32.
But, if there is any chance of needing more than 24 bits then you should certainly save and load all 4 bytes. |

| Sorry i mean to say 32-bits (4 bytes of data). |
