mikroSDK has been reworked to fit in all SDK supported PIC MCUs for XC8 toolchain.
In the XC8 compiler, there are some known considerations and potential issues when working with pointers and data widths greater than 8 bits, especially when working on 8-bit microcontrollers like the PIC series.
This is why the approach had to be modified. The modified approach bypasses this limitation by splitting complex pieces of code into more simple steps. The simpler steps result in XC8 toolchain generating appropriate assembly instructions and therefore in working pieces of code.
Added following macro patterns:
GPIO_Pxy- Replaces
Pxy
- Replaces
GPIO_PIN_x- Replaces
PIN_xy
- Replaces
GPIO_PORT_x- Replaces
PORT_xy
- Replaces
All use of the old macros has been changed by new ones. This affects all board and mcu packages as well.
Note that old macros shall be left in the SDK for a couple of upcoming versions, giving users time to make adequate changes to any code they might have.
All mcu.h header file for XC8 supported MCUs have the following change applied:
- Changed all occurrences of
Pxyto_Pxy- Where
xi a letter from A to Z andyis a number from 0 to 9
- Where
Note that these changes shall be reverted once the old pin definitions are removed from the SDK.
NOTE:
If any new hardware was added to current version, it will be listed here.
Support added for following hardware:
