Feature Request - GAVRASM

[Greydesk]

I am currently using Linux Mint with my university's microcontroller board which is based on the ATmega644A. I have not used your updated AVR plugin but I didn't see any notice of work on the ASM portion of the plugin. Could I request that you integrate GAVRASM as the AVR Assembler?

You can switch to another assembler any time by entering a different AVR Assembler command in C/C++-Build/Settings.

I have changed the setting to run gavrasm but it still wants to link the elp file and tries to look for the hex file with an odd name in another directory when trying to upload. I was hoping there might be a way to include an easier path to solve this. I'm in university and while I'm mildly comfortable playing around with this, I was hoping that there would be an easier solution I can pass onto students in the years behind me.

Well, maybe you have to adapt the linker command as well.

Anyway, I won't pick up this feature request. I don't think it makes sense to teach students how to use programs that they will hardly find being used in their professional lives. I don't know what special features GAVRASM offers, but I do know that is simply doesn't make sense to learn sophisticated assembler programming nowadays. Have you ever looked at the assembler code produced by e.g. gcc with highest optimization? There are only very, very few cases where you can achieve better results by hand-coding. And in those cases, the best solution is to use inline asm -- which requires you to know the asm supported by gcc, not something exotic.

[Greydesk]

While I appreciate where you are coming from, my main reason for the request is that the format gavrasm uses is identical to Atmel Studio's format and thus the method Atmel teaches. In doing some research of avr-gcc I have found that avr-gcc is the same when it comes to the actual op codes for asm but differs in the pseudo op codes. I think that I can figure out how to make the code work appropriately using avr-gcc. I'll be making some notes on what I've found and I'll forward them to you, if you're interested, just in case you get the same request again.
