Is there a Recommendation for Binary Distribution of P2 code?

That's the version in flexprop 6.9.4, downloaded fresh in the course of this debug.

The must be placed in memory error is caused by a particular issue: To be used in inline assembly, the variable needs to be stored in a register. To be able to take the address of a variable (@ operator), it needs to be stored in memory. So you can't do both. Additionally, for compatibility edge-case reasons, if one variable is in memory, all variables in that function need to be (I actually made a PR the other day to mostly fix that one...). (In PNut, this issue doesn't come up because variables are always stored in memory and are copied into registers at runtime, which leads to a different annoying limitation, wherein only the first 16 variables on the stack frame can be used in inline ASM).

Aha, I have encountered the first-16 thing and just code that way now. Thanks.

That should really not be the case. The flexprop and flexspin version numbers roughly match

You're right. I checked again and it's like this:
\flexprop\flexprop-6.9.4\flexprop\bin>flexspin --version
Propeller Spin/PASM Compiler 'FlexSpin' (c) 2011-2024 Total Spectrum Software Inc. and contributors

Twisty maze of passeges... Apologies.

Flashing with current version of FlexProp GUI seems to work with SimpleP2 board now. Guess my old version didn't have this new SPI loader baked in...
