3.2.1.2 Indirect Read with FSR
The program memory can be accessed as data by set-
ting bit 7 of the FSRxH register and reading the match-
ing INDFx register. The MOVIW instruction will place the
lower eight bits of the addressed word in the W register.
Writes to the program memory cannot be performed via
the INDF registers. Instructions that access the pro-
gram memory via the FSR require one extra instruction
cycle to complete. Example 3-2 demonstrates access-
ing the program memory via an FSR.
The HIGH operator will set bit<7> if a label points to a
location in program memory.
