[comp.lang.c] C compilers for 8-bit CPU

garyi@phred.UUCP (11/05/87)

	- - is there still a line-eater out there? - -

	I am looking for C cross-compilers for 8-bit microprocessors &
microcontrollers, to be used in several small projects that have not yet
made a processor selection.  We are looking at Z-80 family (Z-80, 180,
64180...) and 6800 family (probably 68HC11) primarily.  We would like to
find a cross-compiler to run under Ultrix 2.0; other options are Macintosh
(Plus/SE) and PC-AT.  The compiler package should allow assembly language
interface (caller and called routines).  The linker should produce a standard
hex format (tekhex, intel, mot S-record...) and allow reasonable ROM/RAM
space allocation.

	As of this moment it looks like a tossup between a plain Z-80 and
a Motorola 68HC11, so those two are first choice.

	Email should reach me via
