Sorry if this is a FAQ: I'm rather new in this area. What C compilers are available for the Motorola DSP56000 chip? I have heard of the Motorola compiler, but some people told me it is a rather buggy one. Is that true, and -if so- are there any alternatives? (Did someone already adapt gcc?). Thanks! --- Pieter H.A. Venemans PTT Research Leidschendam the Netherlands Email: PH_Venemans@pttrnl.nl Voice: +31 70 3325556

The local Moto guy told me not to buy the 56K C compiler - that I should use assembler instead. I have some literature from a third party vendor that suggests that this compiler puts most of its data in Y memory. This could adversely affect efficiency of your code on some applications. A C compiler for this chip would present some interesting challenges. -- Jeff Carroll carroll@ssc-vax.boeing.com "Do you think I care? ... I have an infinite amount of money." -Bill Gates

OK, now we've established that the Moto compiler is no good. What about a public domain version of the assembler? chrism@col.hp.com
