Fwd: Enhanced PIC16 Architecture

[David Barnett-4]

I'm not quite sure what you mean about bandwidth (you only need to send
replies to 1 email address), but I think the gnupic mailing list would be
interested in this info, so I'm passing it along. I hope that's okay.

You don't need to subscribe to the list (but you might want to anyway). I
could relay the important bits to the mailing list myself.

 Hello,

I am an architect at Microchip Technology and we are enhancing the 14 bit
PICmicro.  I would like to see this new device supported by the community as
quickly as possible.  I will be teaching an in-depth class at masters this
year so if anyone is attending, sign up for 1204 p16.



I have attached 2 overview documents for the new system.  I have updated
GPASM and I would like to send a tgz of the system but the e-mail size limit
was reached.  Let me know where to send it.  My updates may be a little fast
and dirty so feel free to discuss the syntax changes.



This support needs to be integrated into GPASM more completely.

If you have any questions please contact me at this address.

I have sent this directly to the 4 of you because I do not have the
bandwidth to answer questions on the whole mailing list.

He probably means that he is too busy to reply to the questions on the list.

By the way, he wrote the Mac version of PICkit 1 software last time.
He was also on the news last time with Steven Bible.

No problem posting to the list.  Don't forget to post the attachments
someplace useful.  I have a 3 MB tgz that needs to be delivered to
somebody who can merge the or improve upon the updates.

 

I am a member of the list.  I can answer many questions but I am
currently getting ready for masters so timely responses is not always
possible.  I will do my best.

Xiaofan,
I can reply to technical questions and help support the additions to
GPUTILS and SDCC.  With Masters coming, and unannounced product, I will
have to let the list speculate on many details.

If anybody is attending Masters, look me up and we can talk.

We are working on Suitsat 2.  I never did get around to a Mac version of
PICkit 2.

On GPUTILS, on the version I extracted from SVN (last year), malloc is
used to create the linked lists for the parser.  The next pointers are
never initialized.  This worked fine on stdutils for the mac because
malloc apparently clears memory.  I switched this code to use calloc.
That cleared up the bad syntax seg faults on linux (redhat & opensuse)
that did not fail on the Mac.  I hope I handled Bison correctly, that
was a learning experience.

Tell me about it... I've been wrestling with bison for a few weeks now
with the changes I've been working on.

I hope our changes do not conflict!
