gputils - GNU PIC Utilities

The gputils-1.4.0 has been released. The source code package is available at gputils-1.5.0.tar.bz2 and gputils-1.5.0.tar.gz. Windows 32bit setup package is at gputils-1.5.0.exe. gputils 1.5.0 includes the following enhancements: Several ... [More] pre-defined constant. Without being exhaustive some of them are: __12_BIT __14_BIT __16_BIT __BANK_BITS __BANK_FIRST __BANK_INV __BANK_LAST __BANK_MASK __BANK_SHIFT __BANK_SIZE __CONFIG_START __CONFIG_END __ENHANCED __EXTENDED __GPUTILS_SVN_VERSION __GPUTILS_VERSION_MAJOR __GPUTILS_VERSION_MINOR __GPUTILS_VERSION_MICRO __IDLOCS_START __IDLOCS_END __NUM_BANKS __NUM_PAGES __PAGE_BITS __PAGE_FIRST __PAGE_INV __PAGE_MASK __PAGE_LAST __PAGE_SIZE Some pre-defined variable: __ACTIVE_BANK_ADDR __ASSUMED_BANK_ADDR __ACTIVE_PAGE_ADDR Extension of ERROR and MESSG: These directives - inside of the parameter string - recognize and execute the #v() macro. New directives: __badrom, assume, elif, elifdef, elifndef New gplink feature: Remove the unnecessary Banksel and Pagesel directives. The errorlevel directive accept number ranges. E.g. +303-310 or -303-310 The gpvo utility use the disassembler to decode the program memory sections. The gplink save the local RAM symbols to COD file. The ".direct" directive - inside of the parameter string - recognize and execute the #v() macro. The length of source file names in COD file, now 256 bytes long instead of 64 bytes. The gpvc utility thereafter also able to correctly detect the shorter names. The inc and lkr files are synced with MPLABX 3.35 If you find regressions or other bugs, please report them to the bug tracker on SourceForge. Feel free to give feedback on the gnupic mailing list.

Enabled the CONFIG directive on the PIC12(E) and PIC14(E) devices. This only works in "gpasm" mode -- if the command line is not included the "--mpasm-compatible" option. Enabled the IDLOCS directive on the PIC16E devices. This only works in "gpasm" mode -- if the command line is not included the "--mpasm-compatible" option.

Enabled the IDLOCS directive on the PIC16E devices. This only works in "gpasm" mode -- if the command line is not included the "--mpasm-compatible" option.

Extended error and warning messages. The gpdasm does recognize the PIC12E instructions. The gpdasm does not disassemble the section of config bits. Instead it displays these bytes. New option in gpdasm: -n, --show-names For some case of SFR ... [More] , shows the name of instead of the address. New option in gpasm: -k, --error Enables creation of the error (.err) file.
