[fpc-devel] Stellaris Update

[John Clymer]

Sorry, missed the second set of questions....

I was able to get the stellaris part setup in t_embed.pas and cpuinfo.pas, then 
I got build errors when I build an executable - it was missing the Controller's 
startup file - these are in rtl\embedded\arm.  Once FPC finishes compiling the 
program, it wants to link with a unit with the same name as the Controller.  So, 
if each controller gets supported separately, then that folder is going to be 
chock full of controller specific startup files - most of which will be 
duplicates inside the same family.

Unless I'm missing something, in order to get a binary for the LM3S8962, using 
that specific controller as the target, I had to have a file in that folder with 
that same name - and with the unit inside named the same as the microcontroller.

John

So why would the directives be needed?

What config? Memory layout in the compiler? Even without the directives
mentioned above, mulitple stellaris controllers can share the same
memory layout config in t_embedded?
