Looking at my memory map, it appears that there is space for the stack in
on-chip memory between fdc0 and ff7e (or thereabouts). That's just about
450 bytes. If you need more stack space than that, you'll need to move the
stack to off-chip memory. Using ef3c for the first stack element seems to
be a safe place, but ef00 is okay if you want to be really conservative.
Note that off-chip memory is slower than on-chip memory.
By the way, the fefc entry in h8300.rcx appears to be ignored. It's there
to define the _stack symbol, which is unused. You mentioned libgcc2.c, but
that does not appear to reference the stack symbol or set the stack
pointer. What gives?
I do not link to any GNU libraries, I do not use C++, I do not use
h8300.rcx. I have written everything from scratch. But I have looked at
h8300.rcx.
I'm curious what your setup is. Mine is certainly different from yours.

| I'm still having reliability problems with legOS when using the task management routines. However, I think the problem has more to do with the stack than the tm routines. I think the problem is related to the direct-motor routines and the entries in (...) (25 years ago, 2-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)
