Hi Fred
Is there a summary of the new features developed in IC 4 ?
From the Newton Labs IC 3.x page they list the improvements over the freeware
(2.x) version as:
> Better integration into the Windows and Macintosh environments.
> Integrated development environment for Windows and Macintosh, including
> built-in editor (for those who wish to use it).
> Integrated C preprocessor, including the ability to use #defined macros at
> the commandline (a feature not even found in standard desktop computer C
> environments, let alone environments for microcontrollers).
> Standard C features such as structs and multidimensional arrays.
> Integrated (and automatic) pcode downloader for Windows and Macintosh,
> including support for the Handy Board and other boards based on the
> 6811A1/E1.
Does the 4.x pcode support structs/multidimensional arrays ? What extras does
4.x give us ?
What about some of the publicly released enhancements for IC ? ie the smoothpwm
code, improved math libraries etc
Will the pcode source be released ? If so where/when ?
Will the Linux source be released ? ie enabling ports to other Unix'es
Thanks for continuing your support and committment to the IC/HandyBoard
community.
