Does anyone know of any UNIX-based 'c' language cross-compilers available for the MC68xx (6800, 6809, 6811...) family of uP's. If so, where are they available? We plan to use 6 or 7 of these as micro-controllers. Thanks, Charlie. =========================================================================== Believe it if you need it... -Charles E.

Yes, we have purchased a 68hc11 c compiler from Intermetrics, Inc, in Cambridge, MA. It works, but that's about it. This is the first version that they had released, and it generates code **** much **** slower than if you hand coded it in assembly. We have a beta test version in site of the second release of the compiler which is significantly faster, produced much tighter code, and actually optimized the code slightly. There seems to be a problem, although, with some of the tools supplied with the compiler not being compatible with the new compiler ... we are checking into this problem. In general though, we have had problems with Intermetrics technical support not being able to answer questions about their compiler, difficulties tracking down bugs, etc. We warn, if you are doing anything remotely time critical, do it in assembly. - Rick

The Motorola Support BBS has sources to a number of goodies for their MPU and MCU product lines. Call 512/440-3733 (2400 baud only (?)) and apply for registration; then call back several days later and enjoy! Thad Floryan [thad@cup.portal.com (OR) ...!sun!portal!cup.portal.com!thad]
