Compiler for BSII
Archiver
Posts: 46,084
Hello,
Right now I am using a palm computer to aquire data via the serial
port. I write my own Palm OS software. This works well. I also do
the same with an windows ce device. My question is; is it possible
to use a compiler on a windows ce device to tokenize and download the
basic stamp program instaed of using a windows stamp editor. I have
asked tech support at Parallax but they never got back to me. Also I
though maybe the new Java stamp might work on any platform. I think
that using handheld devices could expand the basic stamps in field
use.
Thanks,
Curtis Desselles

if one doesn't exist - are the specs available to build our own?

to port. After a lot of work, we recently moved it to Delphi (or Windows
development tool) and are testing it internally. When we're satisfied that
the high-level version works as well as our assembly version, we'll port it
to C and release through a licensing program (since it contains significant
Parallax intellectual property).
This may irritate some of the "we want everything for free" LINUX crowd, but
we are running a business and have to protect our intellectual assets. It's
bad enough with every Tom, Dick and Harry PIC programmer cloning (and doing
it poorly) the BASIC Stamp.
The Javelin is a different beast. It's one thing to compile the Java byte
codes (which can be done on anything), it's a whole new story to communicate
with the device and securely download the byte codes into the Javelin. I'm
not saying that it can't be done, but we're probably a long way from that.

tokeniser will be in the public domain?

If you ported it to Delphi 6 (Windows world with CLX) you can easily
port it to Kylix 2 (Linux world) and protect your intellectual property.
Kylix also support some ASM tokens.
The hard work is porting Windows API (if you use any) to some Linux
equivalent API functions.

No, I'm not saying that at all. The Javelin tokenizer is not written by us
-- it's a standard Java compiler (jikes.exe [noparse][[/noparse]by IBM]), that gets called by
our IDE. The trick is the downloader and the protocol for debugging (the
Javelin can send debugging information back as it runs without much
performance penalty -- a real help for troubleshooting tricky code).
