Post by thread:[SX]: Using Microchip's Floating Point Library wit

Hi, I would like to know if someone has already used Microchip's IEEE 754 compliant Floating point library (AN575) in a SCENIX SX28AC ? what's the best way to make the library SCENIX compatible ? I planned to convert instruction by instruction to the SCENIX syntax, but I was wondering if there's a program that can convert code from PIC to SX. Or could it be possible to compile the library using a PIC assembler and get and object file usable in a SCENIX program (since the SX is PIC instruction compatible) Do you have any suggestion ? or an already converted library. I also plan to use the Floating Point routines library. Thanks in advance -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.

Thomas, try this: http://www.sxlist.com/cgi-bin/mpasm2sasm2.exe I haven't converted the floating point library, but it should be possible. Also, keep in mind, that the library may have errors! For example, some time ago we had discussion about errors in INT2416. The corrected version can be found at piclist.com (and discussion in archives). Check the license for MChip code. Some new application notes don't allow the code use on other microcontrollers! :) I wonder, is there a reason to use floating point at all? Fixed point is easier and more efficient IMHO.
