Small C Compiler for Picoblaze

Dear all, last year I started to design the back end of a "Small C" compiler for the picoblaze microcontroller. (You can download it on

I haven't done much for the last two months... but now I'm ready to continue my development. I'm looking for some help in the development. Do you want to help me? The compiler has still some bugs and it will be nice to have a bug free compiler, for all the Picoblaze users :-)

How I said the compiler is a version of "small C" Is well coded (considering that I'm an hardware designer :-))

The source code is still not on my webpage, but it will be there soon.

I hope to have some follower :-) thanks, Francesco

Sounds good - you might want to also look at the Lattice Mico8 - that is opensource, so you can nudge the opcodes. It is quite close to the PicoBlaze, but Mico8 is generally a superset in opcode 'reach'.

You can expect them to be more similar than different, as both have

18 bit opcodes, and are designed for FPGA usage.

Alfred Arnold has recently added the Mico8 to his AS assembler found here

Interesting.

Tell us more about it.

Is it Linux? Is it YAK? Is it C++? Is it ANCII?

Stuff like that.

And what are you doing with it?

Just curious.

The compilers work under a dos shell. No is not a Ansi C compiler, Small C is a compiler that was very popular in the '80.

On my website you can download the user manual, that is incomplete, but may give you an idea about the potentiality of the compiler.
