Inthe following code, I am getting a fata "Invalid Number" error on the 
line with the out instruction. I have tried this with bot h the register 
name as defined in the def file (TCNT0) as well as with the literal 
register address (0x2f), which is the value defined in 1n15def.inc 
file.  Why is it telling me "invalid number?  (note, I have also tried 
moving the value from r31 ro r0 and outputting it from there.  same 
error)    I am flummoxed.


;  begin

.include "tn15def.inc"

; set interrupt vectors, if any
;
reset:
   rjmp start
   reti      ; Addr $01
   reti      ; Addr $02
   reti      ; Addr $03
   reti      ; Addr $04
   reti      ; Addr $05
   reti      ; Addr $06        Use 'rjmp myVector'
   reti      ; Addr $07        to define a interrupt vector
   reti      ; Addr $08
   reti      ; Addr $09
   reti      ; Addr $0A
   reti      ; Addr $0B        This is just an example
   reti      ; Addr $0C        Not all MCUs have the same
   reti      ; Addr $0D        number of interrupt vectors
   reti      ; Addr $0E
   reti      ; Addr $0F
   reti      ; Addr $10
