How come you didn't simply use the 2.6.3 cross-compiler? I doubt the
optimizer is improved _that_ much for the HC11.

It was a while ago, and I don't remember how much of Carlos's work
is left. It all had to be converted to the new assembler syntax
anyway. I think I used his code as a guide when implementing the
core functionality. But anyway, yes, you have my permission to
adapt those libraries to the Handyboard.

I think the address I had for the people at Coactive Aesthics who
did the GCC port started bouncing a while ago, so perhaps they
moved on.

Not me, but it would be a good thing.

| A great link for people doing HC11 work: www.msoe.edu/eecs/ce.../resources Here they have Wookie, a HC11 simulator for Win32, the WinBug11 downloader, a DOS HC11 simulator, AS6811 and ASLINK (relocatable assembler), and something I've sought for a (...)
