Dear Seniors,

I have created a Keil project file that has a number of files (.c and .h). I am using a file called eeprom.c. This file writes and reads data from at24c256 using i2c.c file. Now my uC.c that is the main file calls functions from the eeprom.c and passes values to it. Now the problem is that when i pass the pointer to the first character of an array to the function that is there in eeprom.c, i get an an error saying 'Argument' : conversion : pointer to non-pointer (marked with <<).
