16-bit Implementation (MSP430FR5994) #96

Thank you for your work on micro-ECC. I was reading in the past issues (#23) that you could possibly make a 16-bit version for the MSP430. Is this still a possibility?

Thanks!

Hello, I have the same concern.

The project eclipse tinydtls plans to use micro-ecc instead of its own ecc implementation. However, switching to micro-ecc would currently drop support to 16bit architectures. If micro-ecc would have a 16bit support, even if it was a really slow version at first, would help using it only without requiring maintaining two versions.

Would you merge a 16bit support ? if yes, what do you think of the current state of #23 repository ? What additional work would you require to be done on it before merging.

Thank you in advance.

Regards, Gaëtan

I don't mind merging 16-bit support. It would be very slow though without any asm optimizations.
