picoblaze C compiler download wanted

Shouldn't this be something Xilinx should sponser ? Seems a shame a tool like this vanishes, for want of a liltte infrastructure ?

Or, I suppose Lattice could be interested in a Mico8 variant of this compiler, as they are quite similar cores, and Lattice are proven open-source friendly ?

Are you sure you want to use that compiler? Last time I checked it didn't seem very usefull (no optimisations at all). You're probably better of writing your program in assembly language.

Google is your friend.

HTH, Syms

For nearly 30 years there have been various C compilers for small micro's, ever since Ron Cain knocked off the Small-C compiler for the

8080 with a little help from me (a free SRI International PDP-11 unix account as long as the compiler was public domain). These compilers do not need to be perfect, or even great, just correct, to quickly knock off projects that would take weeks in assembler. For most, careful coding will get your project 95% of the way toward good/excellent performance, with a small amount of asm functions and tweeking at the end to meet timing goals.

For a tiny PB PLD project, it might not be practical ... for a larger PB Spartan project, it might be the only quick prototyping choice that makes sense, from early concept to production.

I wanted to give it a try for use writing quick-and-dirty test programs. It's probably fine for that.

Thanks! Google definitely is my friend, but somehow I didn't spot that one in the search results.

We're talking about the picoblaze here....the program space isn't large enough for ANYTHING to take weeks to write.... if it takes more than two hours to run out of program memory, you type too slow!

Test and debug in a HLL on another platform is frequently a LOT faster than steping PB thru a simulator debugging your asm.

ditto for long term maintainability by a broader spectrum of engineers.

Hi, I'm Francesco Poderico. I'm trying to move my domain from my old provider to a newone (cheap) Don't know why ... but this operation seems impossible because my hosting has expired before I ask to transfer my domain???

So if you need any help/latest version of the compiler please contact me at francesco snipped-for-privacy@yahoo.com If in one week time from today (26/4/2007) I still did not manage ro transfer my domain then I will create a new domain.

Regards, Francesco

not exactly the same question : is there a picoblaze assembler for linux ? wine & kcpsm3 fails with recent versions...

Francesco - who's the new provider you're moving too. I'd like to compare them with a couple of others.

Once a domain is actually expired, you have to renew it with the original registrar before you can transfer to a new registrar.

And after you renew it, I think you have to wait a while (30 days?

90 days?) before you can transfer it. I'm not sure why.

The transfer will involve renewing it for an additional year.

Eric, I will create a new webdomain this week end. I will post in this forum the name of the domain

Any thoughts about merging this work with

to leverage maintainence and provide cross device protability for libraries, applications, and tools?
