- The Motorola DSP hotline compiler support is for people who are registered
- users of DSP56KCC. You apparently don't have DSP56KCC. It's no wonder that
- the poor support engineer was a little confused by your claims of illegal
- instruction sequences. Did you explain to the engineer that you had built
- your own version of the compiler, using the source from a ftp site?
-
- If you want to use the released diffs to generate code or whatever,
- that's great. I think it's great if anyone gets extra mileage from the
- work that was done, and if anyone finds any genuine problems, I'd love
- to hear about them. However, if you want the complete compiler system,
- and the Motorola DSP hotline compiler support that comes with it, then
- you have to pay for it. Sorry.
-
- Does the compiler work? Yes. Will we find bugs in the future? Probably.
- Does DSP56KCC generate illegal instruction sequences on the order of which
- you suggest? No. I apologize if I come across as being a little harsh, but
- I really feel the need to set the record straight.
-
- thanks,
