18f458

Hi,

I have to develop several projects that use the 18F458

I will have to use the microchip C18 compiler, but after a small search, I almost don't find nothing in the Net about how good it is :cry:

But I find lots of stuff about HI-TECH and CCS

What do you think about the C18 and the other compilers?

Thanks

One thins I know first hand :

CCS is excellent - library support, phone support, compiler optimizations.....

@kender_a.. where are you ?? Support me :)

What's wrong with C18? The student edition is excellent and free.

If you want BASIC Swordfish has an demo version that's very powerful.
 

18f458 projects

The true is that I want and like what you people have to say about the several C compilers, but, but in the end I will have to use the C18 almost all of the time, it is not my choise...

But for personal/home projects I will use the one that I like most :D
 

linker script 18f458

I use Microchips Mcc18 compiler and don't have any problems with it. In my opinion it is a very nice compiler and I use it over Hi-Tech.
Hi- Tech is ok for the low end 16 series.

I Think CSS have very example and easy to use

My point exactly ! Just try it out once will you ?

Hi,

I want just tell you people that I spend some time reading and reading and testing and one thing I can tell you:

The C18 are powerful and very easy to use.

All the things are very simple to use, and I like a lot the C language :D

But I think that some ASM code even in C programs are very useful for some tasks ;-)

I didn't had time to test other C compilers, but I will test at least the HI-TECH PICC, because Microchip don't have C compilers for 10/12/16 series :cry:

What about mikroC?
 

18f458 data memory

I have to say that I didn't knew the mikroC, I'm searching for it now...

The C18 is a good compiler, you just have to be a little careful when you use low priority Interrupts routines and the big mess with memory, you have data in program and ram memory, you have to be sure when you need to get it from memory Program to RAM before using it, exist also the problem of creating arrays with more that 256 bytes, to use it you will have to edit manually the Linker scripts :cry:

Apart from these BIG problems C18 it's a good compiler ;-)

mikroc is a very powerfull compiler i think it is most better than PICC caz it is realy compatible with standad c.
but i prefer to use hi-tech.caz i found some problems in PICC and MIKROC

Beside the fact that it messes up the macros under Win 2000 and Win 2003, C18 is an excellent option, I wouldn't use anything else.

With all the macros or just specific things?

Can you give an example?

What problem(s) did you face in PICC ?
 

18f458 sample codes

I use C30. I used to use C18 for PIC 18f4431.

MPLAB + C18 + ICD2 = seamless integration.

Works for me.
 

which is the best compiler for c

@MathGeek : That's SUPPOSED to work ! That's a tested Microchip setup !
