I noticed that at http://github.com/jjmcd/Elmer160/tree/master/18tst I have a very simple C program that uses a PIC 18 and the Linux toolchain. I probably used PIKlab but there is a Makefile in there instead of a project file. It includes an LCD library that interfaces with SDCC. The project was written for the PIC-EL, which probably isn't the project board you want, and with a re-think of the board the LCD output routine could be simplified. (The PIC-EL was intended for 16F's and the pinout of the 18 pin 18F's is different, so there are some gymnastics in the software that wouldn't be necessary if the board was intended for the 18F.) --McD --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
