[Sdcc-user] Adding chips to PIC port

[Arthur P. <am...@si...>]

I am really interested in the PIC port of SDCC, but it does not
currently support the chip(s) I need (PIC16C745 and if it's easy 16C71).
What is involved in adding a new chip to the port? 

I know C and if you can tell me what is needed to add the chip I will be
happy to do it and send you a patch.

Also, has anyone used the USB abilities of the 16C745/16C765? I want to
build a USB device and I don't want to have to reinvent the wheel. I
have the USB lib that MicroChip provides, but the C version won't
compile on SDCC (it uses structures) and the ASM version won't assemble
in GPASM. Any hints would be nice. I'd be willing to use a different
type of microcontroller (from a different company) if it wasn't to much
more expensive than the PICs and had USB capabilities.

Thanks in advance.
