Re: Does gcc works as a cross compiler to 8031 micro controllers?


Hi Jim,

Part numbers alone are ambiguous.  I assume you mean the Intel 8031 aka the
MCS 51 family.  No.  There is no support for the Intel 8031.  Support would
be impractical, as gcc isn't designed to support 8-bit microcontrollers.
While 8031/8051 processors are problematic I think your statement isn't strictly correct - the AVR, 68HC11 and IP2022 are all 8-bit microcontrollers (OK the marketing folks in the office will insist that the IP2022 is an Internet Edge Processor, but it's still an 8-bit micro and much like the 8031 has a single 8-bit accumulator :-)). gcc handles these pretty nicely in fact. I can't remember but I had a feeling that some of the H8 family are 8-bit too. IIRC someone posted a Z80 port earlier this year too.


Regards,
Dave
