I also like their products, especially the development boards are very
well designed. The IDE+debugger is nice & complete and the support fo
the software is also very good.
The things I do not like are that you have to buy a license for each
compiler family (PIC, PIC16, PIC 32, ARM), the compiler parser sometimes
is a little odd and, most important for me, they do not support objects
and have no plans to do so.
When you can live without objects a good choice, when you need objects
then freepascal is your choice.

Hi List,
has anyone of you had the chance to try this Pascal compiler for embedded
platforms?

Any comment will be appreciated!

Yes,
good product and good company.
I visited the company at embedded world fair in Nürnberg, Germany and was
impressed of them.
http://www.embedded-world.de
They improve their products and they have 16 (or 60) employees one man told me
at the fair.
On W98 were problems with the software, so I was sceptical but on XP the
Pascal compiler runs good. You can try the demo version with 4k code.
I work with it now. Interrupts can be programmed.
There are little things that are for me not 100% understandeable such as if
you put space inbetween numbers (and names) that the compiler will recognise
this as if there were no spaces inbetween... But there are other positive
things. Good libraries. Intuitive and userfriendly behaviour once you get
used to it.
In the past I programmed in pure assembler, but now I migrated a project which
needed some weeks or months almost in some days to pascal.
Important for me was that the software does not need internet access, because
I only want to go online with Linux.
They told me that they will cooperate with a big german distributor (Conrad
Electronic).
best regards, Rainer
