I've lately been using a Raspberry Pi 2 and Raspberry Pi 3 for my JAL development environment and have been very happy with it. JAL code compiles relatively quickly using the compiler, the Vim editor has syntax highlighting for JAL, I can program most chips that use low-voltage programming directly from the Pi's GPIO ports very quickly using Darren Broad's Pickle ICSP software (https://wiki.kewl.org/dokuwiki/projects:pickle), and I can easily read and write to the serial port of the PIC without an adapter using the Pi's serial port pins.
The biggest challenge has been getting the compiler set up. JALLIB includes neither an ARM-compatible binary nor the source code for JAL, so I have to compile it from Kyle's source code and make some changes to get it to compile. FWIW, the changes that are required are: 1. remove '-Werror' from one of the options in the Makefile.inc, and 2. add a 'bin' directory to the source code tree at the same level as the 'src' directory Would there be enough demand by users to include an ARM-compatible binary with JALLIB, or at least a version of the source code that might compiled a bit more easily for the Pi? -Jim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jallib" group.
