I guess now that this listserver is set up we should move discussion he= re.=20 I have been looking at the Atmel AVR series microcontrollers, especiall= y=20 now that Digikey is carrying them (page 194-195 of the current catalog). = I=20 would still like to make a compiler that would work with PIC series=20 microcontrollers, but the page and bank issues seemed extremely difficult= =20 when I was seriously working on the compiler. The AVR series seem to hav= e=20 the benefits of the PIC products, but without the compiler-unfriendly ban= k=20 and page issues. The one drawback to the AVR method is that it takes 2=20 instructions to do some of the jump instructions, but this seems like a s= mall=20 price to pay. |
