Notes on Various things I've learned about SDCC and the FX2 * libusb on Linux * cycfx2prog: http://www.triplespark.net/elec/periph/USB-FX2/software/index.html - most of this functionality is now in the fx2load package for python - which is in examples/fx2 * sdcc has sdcc/support/scripts/keil2sdcc.pl which I used to create the fx2regs.h file from the keil header. * sdcc is little endian, keil is big endian (important if doing usb communication) * xdata can go up to 64k on the EZ-USB development board but - the fx2 chip itself only has 16k (end at 0x4000) Firmware written for other than the dev board - should use --xram-size --xram-loc etc to make sure it isn't using memory beyond 16k. * linux has objcopy, which can be used in place of Hex2bix for bix files - objcopy -I ihex -O binary --pad-to=8192 input [output] Memory * 256 bytes internal - lower 128=registers/bits (direct or indirect) - upper 128=stack (or whatever but only indirect addressing) - sfs occupy upper 128 space only direct addressing * external - 16k on chip 0-0x3fff - 512 bytes on chip scratch ram 0xe000 - 0xe1ff (data memory only) - epbuffers and control at 0xe200-0xffff (data memory only) Only the on chip 16k and 512 bytes can be uploaded w/ eeprom or downloaded to host with SETUPPTR Might be possible to load the descriptors to the scratch ram instead of code ram area? sdcc data types data/near=direct addressable internal memory (default for model-small) xdata/far=external ram (default for model-large) idata=indirect addressable internal memory pdata=access to xdata area, but uses sfr to get to address (sdcc 4.1) code=code memory, study this more. bit=uses lower 128 bit area TODO: * Possibly add CKCON and bmSTRETCH customization * IN2CLR and INT4CLR registers can be used intead of explicitly clearing int2 and int4 interrupts.
