Libary in Bascom-avr

Hi,
Can someone either confirm or correct me on the following ?
If I have a piece of code in assembly can I use it as a component of a libary to be called when required by my main Bascom program.

If this is so does anyone know if there is any software to port a snippet of assembly code written for a 8051 to an AVR

Thanks,
Ned

Writing your own library function is not too hard. The help file gives a few examples or let me know & I'll try and sort out an example.

I don't know of any software to port Assembly 8051 to Assembly AVR.

If there is something I'd also be interested - or, more correctly, I'm loooking more at going the other way!

Hi Richard.
Not really the answer I was looking for but many thanks anyway for your response. I may try to make up a table of the commands etc of both so it may make it easier to go through the code and just sustitute where required. Who knows it may work. Smile

Regards,
Ned

Hi,

A library is not a simple snippet of AVR asm.
It just is the equivalent of a SUB/FUNCTION that is called by the compiler depending on the statements you use.

Have a look at the libdemo.bas sample and the mylib.lib file.
The advantage of lib is that you can override existing functions by writing your own lib.

for example look at the lcd replacement libs. they result in smaller code as they are fixed for certain pins and not as versatile as the default lib.
