AVRA ChangeLog

Added new targets, ATtiny13A, ATtiny24/A, ATtiny44/A, ATtiny84, ATtiny2313A, ATtiny4313, ATmega328P

Added mingw32 support for building windows binairies from linux host

Removed obsolete Dev-C++ for windows building

Updated documentation and rewritten in asciidoc markup language

FIXED: 1934647: Handle also # directives because include files don’t use . directives.

FIXED: 1970530: Make whitespace character possible between function name and open bracket.

FIXED: 1970630: Make line continuation possible with backslash as the last character of a line.

FIXED: 2929406: Change incorrect argument --includedir to includepath.

Fix bug 1697037 (Error with single character ;)

Better check for line termination. Now a single CR or a FF generates an warning message. Code with bad CR termination could appear, if you edit CR-LF terminated files (WIN/DOS) with linux (LF only) editors.

Add patch 1604128 from Jim Galbraith (New devices ATtiny25/45/85, small fix for ATmega8 (no jmp, call instruction))

Fix bug in handling of special tags (%HOUR% …). A % without a special tag was replaced by previous tag value.

Use a global timestamp for all functions which needs a time (pi→time).

Fix bug in handling of unknown args (E.g.: avra --abc → Segfault).

Fix segfault if .error directive without parameter is used.

Add a warning, if characters with code > 127 are used in .db strings and fix listing output.

Take a look at Testcode_avra-1_2_3.asm, which demonstrate some differences between 1.2.3 and previous releases

AVR000.zip contains some header files for different devices.

Included avra binary was created with ubuntu 7.10 linux

FIXED: 1462900: Segfault, if error in -D parameter.

FIXED: 1742436: Error in .dseg size check.

FIXED: 1742437: Error in EEPROM presence check

Check in print_msg() if filename is NULL. Avoid printing a NULL-Pointer.

Warning, if no .DEVICE was found, because address range check doesn’t work without it

Error, if more than one .DEVICE was found.

Error, if .DEVICE is after any assembled code or .ORG directive, because .DEVICE resets the address counters and the assembler builds wrong code.

Create a list of program segments (see orglist). Every .ORG, .DEVICE, .?SEG is stored, so the assembler now can check for overlapping segments. Now overlapped segments in Flash, Data or EEPROM memory are detected. Very usefull, if .ORG is used to build tables or bootloader code at specific addresses.

Better check for exceeding device space in RAM, Flash or EEPROM memory. Now not the total count of assembled memory is used, instead every assembled address range is checked.

.DSEG and .ESEG now generates an error, if device has no RAM / EEPROM.

Now a warning appears, if a .DEF name is already used as constant or label. Atmel assembler generates this warning, too.

Fix a small bug in the example program.

Some of the high end AVRs use the SRAM adress range from 0x60 to 0x100 for IO extension. Avra so far used to start with SRAM Usage at 0x60. This is now set from case by case.

Patch segfault, if .error is given without parameter

Patch segfault, if .device is given with an invalid parameter

Check in predef_dev() if symbol is already defined. Can happens, if someone tries to define the symbol with the -D parameter. E.g.: avra -D ATMEGA8 Test.asm now generate error message, because ATMEGA8 is reserved

Add .elseif directive. It’s the same like .elif. (Original Atmel assembler use .elseif and not .elif)

In .db lines strings can now contain , and ; characters.

Allow forward declaration of constants (.equ) except for .ifdef and .ifndef. Invalid forward declarations are checked now. (In the first pass undefined Symbols in .ifdef and .ifndef parameters are stored in a blacklist and checked in the second pass)

Extend the .message directive for better debugging. Now it accept not only a String. You can use a list of expressions like in a .db directive as parameter.

The assembler pass variable moved into the pi struct. I deleted the pass variable from a lot of functions.

New functions in avra.c. It was easier for me, to understand the code without the for(label = first; …)-loops. Replaced a lot of for(label = …) -loops by one of this functions.

right shift operator bug

LPM is supported on ATtiny26 but avra say it isn’t

bugfix for jmp/call opcode

crash due to a strcmp with null pointer when parsing the cmd line args
