Free compiler for CC1110?

I'm using SDCC with Eclipse as IDE.

Denis,

I assume you are refering to http://eclipse-sdcc.sourceforge.net/

Can you elaborate on how you are performing code download to the target; above environment or some other tool? 

How are you integrating / accomplishing cross debug; above environment or some other tool; and with what kind of hardware debug interface? 

Assuming that one has a CC1110 development kit including SmartRF®04 (http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/cc1110-cc1111dk.html or similar), what do you need to add to accomplish full cross compile / download / debug without resorting to the IAR tools? 

Thanks,

I'm using self-made programming device and software tool code download to target.

All I have are my SW+HW tool for flash programming, Eclipse+SDCC, selfmade debugging board.

I have no onboard debugging capabilities, since it's not need so much to spent much time on that.

Denis,

Thanks. 

I did find CC-Debugger (http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/cc-debugger.html) but in this case it sounds like it would really just be a replacement for using the SmartRF®04 which serves as the cross download / debugger hardware interface when using the evaluation boards. 

I was hoping that someone had a generally available cross download / debug 'software tool' that could compement the SDCC tools, my brief look at SDCC showed that its debugger only worked with the simulator. 

It would be interesting to hear if any others are using a free / inexpensive tool for cross debugging on these targets?

Yes, the CC Debugger is just a replacement tool of SmartRF04EB / SmartRF05EB for doing flash programming and debugging.

It's maybe not fully what you're looking for, but have you had a look at the KickStart version of IAR EW8051? It allows up to 16 kB code size (your CC1110 in the kit has 32 kB flash) limit as long as you're developing on that TI hardware. Read more here.

esy,

Thanks!

I did not know that "When used together with a development kit capable of running the SimpliciTI protocol, the code size limitation for the KickStart edition will be increased from 4kb to 16kb".  That change in size limitation is really appreciated, thanks IAR/TI!  It would be nice to update some of the development kit descriptions to include this valuable information. 

I had thought that the previous 4kb limitation was too great for a full evaluation of the CCxxxx parts, like you said particularly being able to also try SimpliciTI.  Also, in my experience the 30-60 day evaluation limits are inconvienant when evaluating parts and tools in the background when working on unrelated primary tasks, it is not unusual to expire before evaluation is complete.
