Hi. I would like to make some sort of symbol libraries containing microcontrollers manufactured by Microchip. Currently, we have seven of them: * microchip.lib * microchip1.lib * microchip_pic10mcu.lib * microchip_pic12mcu.lib * microchip_pic16mcu.lib * microchip_pic18mcu.lib * microcontrollers.lib
I did a comparative analysis and I found that more than 90% of the symbols were repeated. So, I have the following moves to offer: 1. All symbols that are duplicated will be removed and leave just those existed in microchip_picXXmcu.lib libraries as the most complete and accurate. 2. In the microchip.lib library leave only an ENC28J60 symbol and treat this file as a general lib associated with this manufacturer. 3. Create a microchip_pic32mcu.lib library and move PIC32MX575F-TQFP64 symbol there from microchip.lib. 4. Remove the library microchip1.lib and the only unique symbol PIC18F8448 move to the microchip_pic18mcu.lib. BTW: Someone has a datasheet because I can not find it (might be a typo)? 5. In the microcontrollers.lib leave the MCUs other than those manufactured by Microchip: one ADUC from Analog Devices and one P89LPC from NXP. Existing PIC18F452-/PT symbol move to microchip_pic18mcu.lib as above. In this way we sort this mess and get rid of unnecessary repeated symbols. The downside of this will be a quite big change and will lead to significant fuss in the schemes for some users. Therefore, I would like to widely consult it first. Kerusey Karyu
