Hi Mahesh,

Sorry, but my harddrive crashed some years ago and this port was lost. It was not very good, and it was a bit hacky as well, if I remember correctly.

The first thing to port is the hal_nrf_* libraries for the radio frontend, so I would recommend starting with one of the ESB-examples and ensure that these are running properly before going to gazell.

Cheers,

Håkon

Thanks! Do you happen to have a copy of your attempted port :-)? Best, Mahesh

Hi Mahesh,

It's been some years since I've tried porting our code base to sdcc (focused on the enhanced shockburst examples).

As far as I remember, sdcc is not very forgiving wrt. the volatile keyword. It's important that variables that are used in interrupts are declared with volatile, where Keil is quite forgiving on this matter.

This might have changed since I used it.

Cheers,

Håkon

Hi,

I received an email from Scott that the free limit on Keil is 32K (see below), but for me, it's topping out at 4K. The documentation in the nRFGo SDK help file says "To extend the 2 kbyte evaluation version to 4 kbytes [...] Use the following serial number: SKAPZ-JRXUV-SBV97". Is that wrong? Or is there a different serial number that should be used? I am running into the 4K limit when I have code for ADC+RF+STDIO+UART+RTC in one project. Best, Mahesh

Thanks. Is there any information on what modifications need to be made to use it? gazell seems to be an intriguing library but i'll need to move to SDCC to avoid the keil 4KB limit.

best,

mahesh

Hi Mahesh,

I am sorry for the confusion. We have had customers that use the nRFgo SDK with SDCC, but you should note that it's written for Keil C51, so it will not compile out-of-the-box with SDCC.

Cheers,

Håkon

Hi Hakon, sorry, i wasn't clear. Has anyone used the nrfgo SDK with eclipse or sdcc? we'd generally use open source toolchains and operating systems.

Best,

Mahesh

Hi Mahesh,

We have not tried integrating SDCC with eclipse internally, but there seems to be 3rd party plugins (search for "eclipse-sdcc") for eclipse+sdcc available, however; since we have not tested this, we cannot state anything about how well they work.

Cheers,

Håkon
