  Re: GCC vs. IAR compiler: Could GCC be tweaked to generate code as tight as IAR?
 
(...) More precisely, I was told to increase the STARTOFUSERFLASH value if I increased the firmware size beyond the current value. The unmodified source code compiles to 121324 bytes using the current evaluation version of the IAR Embedded Workbench (...) (18 years ago, 14-Mar-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt.nxthacking)
 
  Re: GCC vs. IAR compiler: Could GCC be tweaked to generate code as tight as IAR?
 
(...) I did not do so. The memory map in LEGO_MINDSTORMS_NXT_..._v1.03.bin is like this for the files: 0x11F000-0x12E99D Actual files like Demo.rxe 0x13FF00-0x13FF37 FILE_HANDLE(s) 0x13FFFC-0c13FFFF FILEVERSION The nxtgcc stuff compiles to 126176 (...)

  Re: GCC vs. IAR compiler: Could GCC be tweaked to generate code as tight as IAR?
 
(...) LEGO is using a slightly older version of IAR Embedded Workbench. Maybe that explains it. Or maybe its a 1.03 vs 1.04 source code difference. (...) I have been told that the following is the standard operating procedure for generating the (...) (18 years ago, 15-Mar-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt.nxthacking)
 
  Re: GCC vs. IAR compiler: Could GCC be tweaked to generate code as tight as IAR?
 
(...) OK. This is good info!!! It is hard to guess that this was the way to do it. It also makes some sense for LEGO to use their file manager to do this rather than having a second tool replicate a filemanager on the host and insert it at compile (...)
