[HECnet] gcc for pdp11

[G ran hling]

What a pity you didn't mention the Texas MSP430   single-chip system instead     ;-)

Quote from: http://www.eg3.com/msp430.htm
"The MSP430 is a micro-controller family from Texas Instruments. Built around a 16-bit CPU, the MSP430 is designed for low cost, low power consumption embedded applications. The architecture is reminiscent of the DEC PDP-11. "

My first views upon this architecture makes me wonder where quite some of the addressing modes went, but this is certainly closer to a real PDP than any AVR!

All my best' to all PDP fan  s

GCC is way too big to fit on a PDP11.   But it makes a fine cross-compiler.   In fact, it can cross-compile for lots of smaller things, like AVR single chip microcontrollers (things that cost only a dollar or two).

Does anyone here use gcc for the pdp11?
No, but I'm curious. Do you mean to run in on a PDP-11 or would you use
it to cross compile stuff?.
