gnupic: Thread: Sub Competition

Hello guys!!

I'm Ricky, the captain of the "Ecole de Technologie Superieure"
university robot sub.

I've been subscribed to this list ever since our team decided to use
PIC.  I didn't have any time to participate in the discussions or in
the code, but I'll still ask:

Our inter-university competition is next week and I use Linux/VIM/gcc
to code the AI (right) that currently interacts with a simulator.  I
tried to isolate it from PC dependencies so that I can easily compile
it to the PIC, trying to use ANSI C as much as possible.

I'll eventually need to transfer it to the PIC16F877 (we've put a
bootloader on them) and what I'd like to know: would it be worth it to
use a Linux PIC C compiler now?  What about running htpic inside
dosemu: is there any problems with that? Did anyone make it work (I did
try it and had a few problems) for the PIC16F877?

I'll be sure to give a shot at using gpsim once I get the object
compiled for the PIC.

Thanks,


=====

Are you meaning the Hitech Pic-C compiler.

I write 'C' for the 16f87x series nearly all the time. what you need to
do is get teh Linux version of picc. It's on the CD, just no-on finds
it. So throw away your dosemu, it's unneeded.

 
Hope this helps.
