I have to say that I have used the C30 compiler (which BTW is the GNU GCC
compiler) and found the whole product frankly hopeless. I decided to wait
until the dsPIC / C30 product matures a little, and then try again.

There is a reasonable amount of dsPIC assembler code avaialable for
download.

Subject: [PIC:] dsPIC, to use C or ASM ?

Hi !
On this terrible gray and raining day, I though of trying to spring some
"life" into my PIC30F2010 samples.

Now, when beginning with the older PIC series, one is often told to begin
with ASM to "learn the chip". Then go on to some "higher level" language (if
at all).

With the dsPIC's, there seems to be qute a lot of talk about the C30
compiler.

What does those of you that already have done some work with these ds-things
say ? Is the instruction set to complex to use (begin with) ASM ? Or is the
old "begin with ASM"
mantra still valid ?

And finaly, I probably need to wait for a reply on the "[PIC] WISP628 with
dsPIC" thread also :-) :-)

Best Regards,
Jan-Erik.
