#12 Adding new MCU: PIC18F2[56]K83

[Gerhard Bertelsmann]

Hi,

following the description https://sourceforge.net/p/gputils/support-requests/7/#d425 I tried to add the new K83 MCUs to trunk 1312. I've patched gputils with:

M       gputils/header/Makefile.am
M       gputils/header/Makefile.in
M       gputils/header/p18cxxx.inc
A       gputils/header/p18f25k83.inc
A       gputils/header/p18f26k83.inc
M       gputils/libgputils/gpcfg-table.c
M       gputils/libgputils/gpcfg.h
M       gputils/libgputils/gpprocessor.c
M       gputils/libgputils/gpreg-table.c
M       gputils/libgputils/gpregister.h
A       gputils/lkr/18f25k83_g.lkr
A       gputils/lkr/18f26k83_g.lkr
M       gputils/lkr/Makefile.am
M       gputils/lkr/Makefile.in

I'm facing two problems
1. The RAM location error:

[AS] gpasm -a inhx32 -e on -I ../include/ gbox2k83-system-led.asm -o gbox2k83-system-led.hex
/usr/share/gputils/header/p18f25k83.inc:12277:Warning[219] Invalid RAM location specified. Bad end: 0x0036FF > MAXRAM: 0x001FFF
/usr/share/gputils/header/p18f25k83.inc:12278:Warning[219] Invalid RAM location specified. Bad start: 0x003800 > MAXRAM: 0x001FFF
/usr/share/gputils/header/p18f25k83.inc:12279:Warning[219] Invalid RAM location specified. Bad start: 0x003891 > MAXRAM: 0x001FFF

but it's defined correctly:

;==========================================================================
;
;       RAM Definitions
;
;==========================================================================
       __MAXRAM  H'3FFF'
       __BADRAM  H'0800'-H'36FF'
       __BADRAM  H'3800'-H'387F'
       __BADRAM  H'3891'-H'389C'
       __BADRAM  H'38A0'-H'395A'

1. BANKSEL fault:

000372 0107           00190                 BANKSEL CIOCON
# should be
000372 0137           00190                 BANKSEL CIOCON
# where the definition is correct in the include file:
CIOCON           EQU  H'3700'

Any hint would be welcome to get gpasm working with the new k83 MCUs.

Gerd

Very rarely I have a little time to deal with this project.
The source code of gputils can not handle the PROC_CLASS_PIC16EV class at this time. The patch submitted by you is not enough for a successful compilation. I'm already dealing with the solution, but it takes more time.

was the 18F27Q43 class of chips ever added?
