You definitely need to use the Yahoo group for the gcc compiler if you want to know how to mix assembly and C because this is a question that has a different answer for each type of compiler. Many of the people in this group use other compilers. I want to support interactive debugging in my IDE someday. I'm already moving in that direction. But I'll need to work with someone who understands the GNU tools more than me. In particular, I'd like to learn mode about GDB so I can determine if it makes sense to use that from my IDE. Or, maybe I need to write my own debugger from scratch. Maybe I can get more help once I make the migration to C#. I think there are a lot of linux experts who might be interested in a linux IDE that can work with Mono. For now my IDE only runs under Windows, so a lot of the real experts on the GNU tools haven't shown much interest in it.

There is Yahoo group for GNU on the HCS12/HC11 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gnu-m68hc11/ That would probably be a better place to pose your question.

Please let me know of any problems you have with support. We feel we offer quite a bit of support, Online forum's for everyone, direct 30 day full support for special edition, monitoring of 3rd party channels such as this group here and more. If we are not giving you the support you feel is necessary, then we will improve. I'd greatly appreciate a private or public message to find out where we can improve.

We do use the HC12/S12 instructions, but it can be improved (which we are doing). Nevertheless, many commercial applications have been written using ICC12 so it's no slouch. >Does the Imagecraft system support P&E tools? - I could not confirm this >from the Imagecraft site. Yes and No. Yes that we generate the older .map file. Despite what P&E sales may tell you, their debuggers support this format. We are working with one of their guys to support our DBG format.

Send an email directly to Richard (I think it is richard@rich... or look for support emails on their site) and he will be very prompt to answer any questions you may have. Salvador Tenorio ---------------------------------

I have been an Imagecraft user in the past, and am presently using CW 32K. Having been hooked by the free eval and spent time learning enough about CW to get me into trouble there I am now. At this risk of sparking a fire, has anyone done any real evaluation of code quality between the two systems? I ran into one code generation bug, and of course am very worried about any complex code problems I have now. Does the Imagecraft system support P&E tools? - I could not confirm this from the Imagecraft site. Jonathan Masters -----Original Message----- From: 68HC12@68HC...

I would also stay away from codewarrior, IMHO imagecraft compilers are way better and easier to use plus support for NoICE is there. Also, support is quick, good and given by the compiler creator himself. If you needed to compile more than 32k then you would have to pay big bucks for the full version of codewarrior, again, this is just my oppinion. Don't want to start a religious wars.
