gputils at sourceforge supports SX chips?

James Newton

Did you guys know that there is (apparently) an open source·tool chain including assembler that supports the SX chips? Search for gputils at sourceforge. Apparently it has supported the SX line for some time although support may be buggy due to lack of use / testing. The SX is NOT listed as being supported on the project homepage (or anywhere else that I can find) but the developers assure me that it is, in fact, in the list of supported devices in the "manual"... which I also could not find. Perhaps the manual is included in the download? I don't have time to try it out, but wanted to pass that bit of info along. Let me know if anyone actually tries it out.

James,

Interesting, but it sounds like another partially completed project in the world of open source. If they don't list the SX on the page and you can't even find the manual, I don't think I'm going to spend too much time investigating it.

Thanks,
PeterM

My understanding is that gpasm (the assembler in gputils) is production / stable. It has a number of PIC users. I just don't think it has many SX users because they haven't made it clear they support it.

I did find the manual by the way, it IS linked from the home page as "User Manual" so my eyes apparently skipped it the first time I looked.
