Apple have released version 16 of their Software Development Kits (SDKs). This note discusses the impact of this on users of released FSF GCC Ada compilers:
If you’re getting mysterious faiures with C or C++ compilations, this note is for you.
This note reports on problems people may come across with downloaded packages under macOS 15 (Sequoia).
The ESP32 H2 from Espressif, as provided by The Pi Hut, has a RISC-V 32-bit single-core processor with a clock speed of up to 96MHz and 4MB of built-in Flash, an extensive set of on-chip pripherals, and also integrated wireless connectivity.
The Espressif development environment provides a considerable range of software packages to take advantage of the MCU’s features.
It’s possible to implement Ada code in the Espressif environment, but I was more interested in extending Cortex GNAT RTS (which is built over FreeRTOS) to use this new-to-me hardware. This wouldn’t have been possible had FreeRTOS not already supported RISC-V.
This note covers some problems we’ve had with Xcode/the Command Line Tools (CLTs) at version 15.
This note covers some of the considerations that’ll apply when running Alire on macOS.
This exercise was prompted by the need for Scripted Testing to be supported by – as far as possible – code generation. The need is for the public or interfacing view of a supporting part (domain) of a system to be able to log calls made to it and to provide values on calls to it, using a scripting mechanism.
This article discusses various issues rebuilding a demonstrator intended for the BBC micro:bit (version 1.3b) after an interval of several years.
