Hi, Can anyone kindly let me know how to go about adapting SDCC to support proprietary embedded processor and its instruction set. There are 2 questions: 1) Technically how to do it. Who will do it. 2) Any legal responsibilities Best regards, David |

Hello David, > Can anyone kindly let me know how to go about adapting SDCC to support proprietary embedded processor and its instruction set. > There are 2 questions: Three answers then: > 1) Technically how to do it. By making a copy of one of the target specific directories under /src/ and adapting it for this mcu. I assume you do have documentation for this proprietary mcu. There is also information about porting on the wiki: http://sdcc.wiki.sourceforge.net/SDCC+internals+and+port ing > 1) Who will do it. I guess you will. Or anyone else you can get to do it for you. > 2) Any legal responsibilities If you distribute the compiler (you could keep it to yourself) you must also distribute the source codes with it and your code must be released under the GPL license. > Best regards, > > David Greetings, Maarten Brock |
