We have discovered some reliability issues while running regression tests on v9.0.4 Astrobe for Cortex-M3, M4 and M7. These are related to the SYSTEM.LNK problem . A number of the instructions generated e.g. TEQ, TST, CMP etc. are documented as, for example: if n == 15 || m IN {13,15} then UNPREDICT...
Good question! Actually Cortex-M0 is OK but Cortex-M3 could be optimised. Try adding some code to your Cortex-M0 interrupt handlers. You should see some or all of registers r4 - r7 saved if they are allocated by the compiler in the handler. Additionally, all registers r4-r7 are saved if another proc...
You could use Astrobe's editor and code navigation features to work on source code modules which you would then transfer to Peter's emulator using its file transfer features. You would then compile these modules on the emulator. However, you would need to avoid using any of the Astrobe-specific exte...
With the experience gained from writing the code generator for Astrobe for Cortex-M0 we have enhanced the code generator for Astrobe for Cortex-M3, M4 and M7 for version 9.0 due for release in Q4 2023. This advance information is intended to allow you prepare for these changes: Registers are allocat...
The Personal Edition has the same target configuration files as the Professional Edition. You can edit one of them and write suitable library code to try to target another Cortex-M0/M0+ device. Once we have finished the latest versions (v9) of Astrobe for Cortex-M0, M3, M4 and M7 we plan to start wo...
