Re: Linux and new microcontollers.
 

It runs pretty much the same speed, if not faster using wine due to the lack of mplab. Hm, my loader I made is available on downloads if you want to try using that code and upload it to the PIC.

Thanks to rwaliany's scripts I was able to use linux as my development platform again this year (2 years out of two) and look forward to seeing it improve.

However today I noticed that sdcc had made it's way into gentoo's package management system. Perhaps a solution for next year?

Looks like they're slowly getting PIC 16 & 18 compatability... anyone tried it lately?

Re: Linux and new microcontollers.
 

I've just been able to read a bit of the thread, our team is interested in using linux for programming, but we're having problems. So far, we've got the gputils asm compiler, and the picloader and reader.

What else do we need to get this going? I'm assuming we'll need a C compiler that will convert it to Intel syntax?

I found a link earlier in the thread linking to a page with a list of links, one of them being pico-C, has this been tested? Does it work?

When we get all of this working togther, we'll be able to use emacs as our environment won't we? So long as we set the compiler command to something that will convert the C to asm and compile it, it could be one program couldn't it?

-Thanks in advance. :)

Running mcc18 through wine is your best bet at the moment. mcc18 comes with the linker and everything, so gputils isn't needed.

Yes, you'll be able to use any editor you want. vim, however, is clearly the superior editor to use. :p

If you do find a way to get things working through gputils + sdcc, please let us know.
