when 128k is not enough

[longpole001]

i asked charles on the possible support of the 16 bit , 32 bit in limited to access code space / or full usage ,

We've attempted to complete this on several occasions, but there have been setbacks. The most recent attempt was stalled in 2013 due to issues concerning the developer that we were using for the PC-side executable.

The project is bigger than an expansion of the current PBP. Some parts of the current compiler can be reused, but it's really a matter of creating a new compiler just for PIC24. The good news is that we've already completed most of the work. The issue is frequently discussed, but no development is happening right now.

In the past, I've shared my optimism for completion dates and such. Things didn't work out. I am still optimistic, but I'm reluctant to take a guess as to what the universe holds in store. It's been a tough year.

So what part of a compiler isn't PC-side?

Anyways, even if they released a new compiler tomorrow (which they clearly are not) you'd still have to port your code to a new compiler (would you base a commercial product on version 1.0.0.0 of a compiler?) and there are already several mature options , one you've already mentioned and Proton24 (which I see supports several 256k Flash PIC24 devices). It looks like you've got to bite the bullet one way or another.

As I said before, fascinated to hear your progress.

587000 floating point records extracted from a 14 million record database plotted and displayed on a hdmi screen , converted and exported to a png file , time < 15 sec
raspberry pi -python
data is fed from wireless weather station every 48sec captured by a pic 12f1822 with rfm01 wireless module and uploaded to the pi via i2c
its a good combination.
its going to leave a pic24 for dead


ps the graph is interactive when viewed live on the pi
