Re: [sdcc-devel] Infineon "fork" of SDCC for XC800

[Jan W. <we...@ef...>]

Borut,

it's patched:
c:\DAvE-Bench-102\SDCC_XC800\bin>sdcc --version
at 1: warning 196: No port selected. Use -m<port> switch to select a port. 'XC800' port is set as default.
at 1: warning 197: No processor selected. Use -p<processor> switch to select a processor. 'XC866_1FR' processor is set as default.
SDCC : xc800 2.9.0 #5416 (Apr  6 2010) (MSVC)

c:\DAvE-Bench-102\SDCC_XC800\bin>


(Although it complains of missing -p, in fact the processors are not implemented individually so far, or at least that's what the documentation says.)

They don't publish sources for the current version (erghm), but from the sources of the previous version I know that there are mods in the library to support the CORDIC hardware present in the higher-end models. I believe there are other mods as well, I did not have time to investigate this in depth.

As they brought this all the way from ver.2.5 to 2.9, they may be interested in bringing in the new 3.0 as well. And as there are significant changes in the overall project structure, this might be an incentive for them to enjoy some help from the authors of the changes...

Just a thought.

Jan
