#158714 - Interpreter, or macro assembler Responding to: ???'s previous message |
I said interpreter, but I probably should have said macro assembler. The idea is to easily port existing 8051 code into the ARM.
I saw a 3 step process. 1. Put the arm51 on an existing board. 2. Run original code which verifies hardware. 3. Write native ARM software (if necessary). I work with the trailing edge of technology. And there are a lot of customers who have lost control of their code. Many don't even have the source available. A conversion tool looked like it would be useful. You could also use this macro assembler to "translate" non-critical code in a larger project. |
