Free C compiler for MOTOROLA HC08

Hi everybody,
I'm looking for a free C compiler for HC08.
I found SDCC, but the generated code is... bad... VERY bad...
Any ideas ?

Thanks,

The Metrowerks Codewarrior people have a special 4k limited free compiler.

How about using the Atmel AVR and Imagecraft compiler instead??
I have had very good experience with that combination.

The low-cost tools and compilers for AVR make it much cheaper to get
started, and the I think performace of AVR is much better also.

Imagecraft compilers are not free, but excellent value.  They also
make one for the HC08 as well, but I never used it.

regards,
Johnny.

Gcc is free, and if you're going to switch to AVR, then it's an
option (with support for all sorts of programming languages you
don't care about!).  AFAIK, gcc doesn't support the HC08,
though it does support the HC11/HC12 (and generates pretty
decent code).

If you like to see a good HC08 code, try the 
Cosmic Compiler. 4k Version is free for download
http://www.cosmic.fr (appears you speak french and
the compiler is a french developement with premium 
support in french language directly from the developers)

Where did you find the free 4K version on the french site? I only
found an outdated demo.

http://www.cosmic-software.com/ (with English texts) still offers an
outdated 4K free version with some bugs although I'm niggling about
this since a long time.

Can't understand why they don't offer the recent versions.

A year or two ago I found a $25 Nitron Demo board on their site (or in
CircuitCellar maybe) and it was a fun little board. It came with Metrowerks
CodeWarrior which lets you compile up to 4K bytes and it was FREE with the
demo board.

Check their Nitron site.

Hi,
I've bought ICC08 in 2002.
But now, I'm looking for a free C compiler (command in line) to include into
an IDE for a hardware product which I'm creating.
The goal is to have a free C compiler to have a low cost product.
But I think there is no other free C compiler... So I will provide with my
product a list with the different C compiler and their prices.
