[fpc-devel] Topic for the list - Embedded port for PIC Micros

2009-07-23 Thread Nick Brown
A very interesting port for an OS-less platform would be a port to the PIC family of microcontrollers. There may be some issues because memory is in short supply but notwithstanding, this would be pretty cool. Any comments?

IMHO, porting FPC to 8 and 16 Bit PIC is close to impossible, while a PIC 32 Bit (=MIPS) port should be doable. -Michael ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel

I'd really appreciate the 32 Bit PIC stuff, as this is MIPS and I might want to do a NIOS port some day and the NIOS ISA is said to be quite similar to MIPS (even the names are only a few bits apart :) ) -Michael ___ fpc-devel maillist -

The main challenge for a MIPS port is the absence of flags, there is a lot of code in the compiler that returns expression results in LOC_FLAGS. Of course it is perfectly possible to change these codes to use LOC_REGISTER, but it is work. I see. Thanks for the pointers ! -Michael

Hi, I'm trying to run the examples of http22 units in a FreeBSD 7.2 for i386, with Apache 2.2.11. The examples compiles with FPC 2.2.4, but when I try to run apachectl start, it crashes with this message: httpd: Syntax error on line 104 of /usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf: API module
