Post by thread:Freely-redistributable PIC assembler?

Is there a freely-redistributable PIC assembler available in source form? That 4-component 16C84 burner in "blowpic.zip" looks nice. I'm thinking about including PIC software on my "Linux for Hams" CD-ROM. I'd have to re-write the driver for Linux, but that doesn't look like a big deal. A PIC emulator would be nice, too, but I guess that's asking too much.

It's on ftp.funet.fi (I think nic.funet.fi is a pseudonym .. that's where Archie finds it).

This is by Dave Madden <dhmKILLspamVHEISSU.NET.DCL.CO.JP>. Unfortunately, it needs C++ and I haven't yet installed it so I can't try it out. I think he put it on ftp.sics.se as 'picsim', but I've got a copy if you can't find it. The other was by R J GAUTIER <.....rjgKILLspam.....ABER.AC.UK> - he has a simulator written in Tcl/Tk that he was hoping to get modified for PIC by an MSc student. I don't know what happened to this project. -adrian
