DIFF attached for comment and review. Provides the following features /
difference:
1) Switched operation of cpuinfo.pas - there is still a SET containing the ct_
constants, but that now indexes an array of structures rather than a collection
of arrays. The array contains the info from the old arrays, PLUS FLASH, SRAM
and EPROM memory definitions i.e. BASE and SIZE for each.
NOTE: Switched for both ARM and AVR. AVR changes will compile the cross
compiler, but choke while building the RTL (complaining about a function being
too complex). However, the SVN and daily build exhibit the same behaviour - so
I do not believe I have broken the AVR any further than it was broken.
2) Added LM3FURY controller unit file - this will be built up into a base unit
file for all the Fury class Stellaris controllers.
3) I intend to leave the "Stellaris" controller class with the intention that
those that don't want a full set of system defines can use this class and will
receive nothing more than the bare minimum to boot a chip into PASCALMAIN. The
Flash and SRAM sizes will be set very large - so caveat emptor to the user if,
as they will need to ensure the programs do not require more resources than
their chip require.
4) t_embed.pas was changed. The case() statement is still in there, but all
the cases fall down to the same code - which uses the cpuinfo.pas memory
definitions to create the linker file.
5) put a test in t_embed.pas - if we are only compiling to assembly, then we
skip the Internal Error on not having a link definition.
6) option.pas, globals.pas, ncgutil.pas and pmodules.pas were modified to
accommodate the addition of the structure.
7) IF controllerunitstr is empty - then no added file is included in the build
(again, to support a "base" controller type - with no defines what so ever -
power user option)
NOTE: The Makefile changes were picked up by svn diff - not sure why they
changed so much, my incantation of fpcmake must be different than the original
sources code
NOTE: The AVR link script generation has not been changed to accommodate the
additional information - the original link script did not set memory sizes to
match the processor.
