Do Microchip use a modified version of GCC? Looking at the GCC docs it doesn't support PIC microcontrollers, from what I can tell. However GCC does support other microcontrollers.
IIRC there is a GCC for PIC, but it is not part of the official distribution, and I don't know how good it is. You can find references to it with your favorite search engine.
Nothing up to date that I can find. There is picgcc but that looks abandoned.
I believe there is also SDCC for PIC.
I'd looked at SDCC but it says Microchip PIC16 and PIC18 are work in progress but, although not clearly mentioned, it looks to have good support for 14bit PIC. I've seen links recommending SDCC so perhaps it is good enough?
However gputils looks to be a good choice too.
Anyone experience with either of these tools on PIC or other microcontrollers?
Thanks, Mike.
