Fellows, I received a book by TI engineers and others "Application report".
I picked up many good _hardware_ ideas from it, but I want to say, that our compiler and other stuff implements most advanced ideas from this book. So, now I am pretty sure that gcc can be considered as a 'good' compiler for the arch given. From some users reports I see, that our stuff beats in some way well known commercial software. So... 1. Chris. Put a tag on a current version of binutils, gcc, libc and gdb. GDB yet misses JTAG support, but when TI fellows publish JTAG interface we'll implement it. Libc still misses float point high-level functions (sin, cos, gamma, etc.). I hope someone will write it for us. 2. Fellows, if you have some pilot projects, please publish them along with schematic and your comments. (send them to Chris or to me) 3. If you are able to compare your projects built with GCC and another compiler, please compare them. Now GCC can count instructions and cycles. Do it! 4. Got idea? tell me!!! I'll do it in next couple of hours. Restectfully, Dmitry Diky, mspgcc fellow author.
