Probably not very good chances there, I would think. The next time I spend on the code base will be enabling XGate for use so we can get started developing with it. It's not a big deal, but it needs to be done right so I need to get stuck in and do it.

Right on.

I don't even know how any of the other xgate patches did much of anything xgate wise, since xgate is a RISC processor.
It looks like the M32R may be a good port to clone once I get to the xgate stuff.

After looking at the deb specific patch it seems the deb binutil patch for 2.18.x has already made it into 2.19.x tree.

Well, I'm not sure about the versions, but the stuff in my deb 3.3.6-m68hc1x-20060122 is definitely different to the stuff in the windows binary that is available. It could be just at the gcc level though, not the bin utils level. I'm not sure. I believe other linuxes are the same as the windows version feature wise. My bin utils are indeed 2.18 though. I wonder what the windows version is.

"3.3.6" gcc, didn't get that far and don't think I will for some time. I think the win stuff is 2.15(binutils). I used apt-get source 68hc....... to get 2.18 and the deb patches. I examined the patches and noticed the 2.18 patches have made it to 2.19. I also read the change log, and it gives notice when things made it to newer trees. If anything was missed I'm sure it would be easy to move into my work. Thanks for the heads up with gcc.

Oh god, so the windows stuff that K&J use is old and out of date, that could explain some of their bugs and issues I guess. Keep up the good work.

Fred.

funny


is in binutils 2.20.0 common.h

seems they like to create place holders . that is the only occurrence of "XGATE" in 2.20.0 texts

on another note, I almost have elf32-mc9s12x bdf library compiling.

Awesome :-) I'm glad one of us is doing some work! :-)

The good news, binutils now compiles with "mc9s12x-elf" as a target.

real 2m20.129s
user 1m33.826s
sys 0m31.106s

Here is the patch, but dont get excited yet.
http://computer-ss.com/files/mc9s12x.patch

The bad news.
It accepts mc9s12x-elf as a target using renamed files/functions from the original m68hc1x port. It doesn't have support for anything new(yet of course), but things are isolated.
It looks as though most of the code can be reused from most parts of binutils(BFD, LD), which leaves most of the work to be done in GAS.

TODO
Compile some code for the mc9s12x and see if/how it differs from the original port. There's a bit of conditional code due to the port supporting hc11 and hc12 targets, I'm sure I'll have to do some re-factoring to get it right.

Revise GAS for xgate registers/instructions/modes.

AWESOME mate :-)

I was looking at some pics of your office and you asleep while I coded, this makes up for it ;-)
