avra(1) Atmel AVR Assembler avra(1) NAME
avra - Assembler for the Atmel AVR microcontroller family SYNOPSIS
avra [-f] [O|M|I|G] output file type [-o outfile] output file name [-l listfile] generate list file [-m mapfile] generate map file [--define symbol[=value]] [--includedir dir] [-listmac] [--max_errors number] [--devices] [--version] [-h] [--help] general help infile DESCRIPTION
AVRA is an assembler for Atmel AVR microcontrollers, and it is almost compatible with Atmel's own assembler AVRASM32. The differences between the two are: Support for some extra preprocessor directives. includes: .define, .undef, .ifdef, .ifndef, .if, .else, .endif, .elif, .warning Not all command line options are supported. Specifying an eeprom file (-e) is not supported. All eeprom data is put out into a file called program.eep.hex and always Intel hex format. Other hex file formats than Intel are currently not supported. Forward references are not supported. Like in C, you have to define everything before you are using it, excepting labels. This makes sure, that directives like .ifdef and .undef are working properly. If you are familiar with the C programming language, you should get easily into AVRA. See chapter "Pro- gramming techniques" for more information about how to write proper code. Enhanced macro support. AVRA has some new features for writing flexible macros. This should increase the ability to reuse code e.g. build your own library. Debugging support. AVRA creates a coff file everytime the assembly was sucessful. This file allows AVR Studio or any coff compatible debugger to simu- late or emulate the program. Meta tags for assembly time. This helps you tracking versions of your software and can also be used to generate customer specific serial numbers. OPTIONS
Several option can be given after one '-', but if an option requires an argument; the argument must be given after that option. --listfile, -l Create list file --mapfile, -m Create map file --define, -D Define symbol. --includedir, -I Additional include dirs. --listmac List macro expansion in listfile. --max_errors Maximum number of errors before exit (default: 10) --devices List out supported devices. --version Version information. --help, -h Show summary of options.

gpasm - GNU PIC assembler SYNOPSIS
gpasm [options] file WARNING
The information in this man page is an extract from the full documentation of gputils and is limited to the meaning of the options. For complete and current documentation, refer to "gputils.ps" located in the gputils docs directory. DESCRIPTION
gpasm is an assembler for Microchip (TM) PIC (TM) micro-controllers. It's intended to be compatible with the manufacturer's MPASM assem- bler. gpasm is part of gputils. Check the gputils(1) manpage for details on other GNU PIC utilities. OPTIONS
Below is a summary of the gpasm options. gpasm options always supersede any settings in the source code. -a FMT, --hex-format FMT GPASM supports inhx8m, inhx8s, inhx16, and inhx32 hex file formats. This option controls which hex file format is used. The default is inhx32. -c, --object Output a relocatable object (old COFF format). -C, --new-coff Output a relocatable object (new COFF format). -d, --debug Output debug messages. -D SYM=VAL, --define SYM=VAL Define SYM with value VAL. This is equivalent to placing "#define SYM VAL" in the source. -e [ON|OFF], --expand [ON|OFF] Macro expansion in the listing file is controlled using the EXPAND and NOEXPAND directives. This option can force either directive to be ignored. When "ON" is selected the macros are always expanded regardless of the presence of NOEXPAND. Likewise, "OFF" will force macros not to be expanded. -g, --debug-info Use debug directives for COFF. -h, --help Show the usage message. -i, --ignore-case All user defined symbols and macros are case sensitive. This option makes them case insensitive. -I DIR, --include DIR The top level assembly file is passed to gpasm as an argument. This file can contain INCLUDE directives. These directives open the specified file and then its contents are assembled. GPASM searches for these files in the local directory. If the file is not located, the default header path is checked. Finally, all paths specified using this argument are searched. -L, --force-list Ignore NOLIST directives. This forces gpasm to print every line assembled in the list file output. -l, --list-chips List the supported processors. -m, --dump Upon completion of the final pass of assembly, display the contents of instruction memory. -M, --deps Output a dependency file. -n, --dos By default, gpasm generates hex files using ISO format. However, some device programmers required a DOS formatted file. This option will cause gpasm to generate a DOS formatted hex file. -o FILE, --output FILE Alternate name of the output file. -p PROC, --processor PROC Select the processor. -q, --quiet Suppress anything sent to standard output. -r RADIX, --radix RADIX The supported radices are BIN, DEC, OCT, and HEX. The default is HEX. -v, --version Show the version. -w [0|1|2], --warning [0|1|2] This option sets the message level. "0" is the default. It will allow all messages, warnings, and errors to be reported. "1" will suppress the messages. "2" will suppress the messages and warnings. -y, --extended Enable 18xx extended mode. SEE ALSO
