Project Summary
GCC6809 is a port of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) to the Motorola 6809 processor. It is distributed separately from the GCC mainline. Several versions are supported, and updates are made frequently to try to keep up-to-date with the latest GCC development. The most stable release is now based on GCC 4.3.
GCC6809 is distributed as a patch against the full GCC sources, which can be downloaded from any GNU mirror. The patch adds a new target type, "m6809-unknown-none", and allows building of the C and C++ compilers. The patch also includes a version of the ASXXXX cross assembler, which provides the assembler, linker, and a library tool.
The compiler is mature and was initially developed to support the FreeWPC pinball operating system.
