#89233 - in the olden days, I did Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Has anyone heard about or seen an automated tool that could take 8051 assembly language source code and convert that to AVR source code (also in assembler)?
in the olden days, I did a few assembly conversions from discontinued uCs to current ones. I learned soon that doing it automatic led to very inefficient code (and in those days memory cost REAL money) and that doing it purely manual took too long. What I ended up doing was to write a ton of macros that converted popular constructs to "new" assembler and when the error count assembling the "old" code with these macros got low enough, finish it off manually. Then - after verifying that it "worked" find the spots where the code could really need a "conversion to new philosophy" and firming those parts up till the code fit in the memory of the designated derivative (previous testing done with the ICE). At that time I had "macro packages" to include for such conversions, they have been trashed long ago. I think that were I to do such a conversion today, I would simply rewrite the thang in C. Erik |
