What's the point? A pointer is just a 32-bit (or perhaps 24-bit, in recent AVR-GCC versions) number. Normally, the point of using a pointer is that the compiler arranges for you to dereference the pointer automatically, but this memory being external, not accessible by normal CPU instructions, this cannot work anyway. Consequently, you can use the respective integer numbers by itself (perhaps through some kind of typedef that hints them being memory addresses). -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
