[14:18:26] <lukas2511> wow
[14:43:37] <braunr> really
[15:32:12] <rhn> so much work and it all looks garbled
[15:46:50] <lukas2511> rhn: it looks perfectly here, wait, i'll make a screenshot for you
[15:47:16] <lukas2511> rhn: https://i.imgur.com/EXFBi4Z.png
[15:47:30] <rhn> impressive
[16:02:50] <Tsvetan> https://jacobmossberg.se/posts/2018/08/11/run-c-program-bare-metal-on-arm-cortex-m3.html
[16:03:20] <Tsvetan> nice step by step tutorial how to program baremetal in C with GCC and GDB ARM Cortex-M3
[16:09:52] <Tsvetan> I'm trying to figure out though what will happen after main is executed and complete
[16:21:03] <braunr> irc requires monospace fonts duh
[16:26:10] <rhn> does anyone have a working compiler for PIC32?
[16:26:24] <rhn> I'm trying to figure out what they do different from upstream GCC
[16:34:41] <Tsvetan> last time I check (many years ago) the difference was in the startup code related to PIC32 which is binary blob
[16:40:30] <rhn> Tsvetan: there's something about how as generates object files (sets a processor-specific bit on sections, etc), and I can't figure out the difference
[16:40:57] <rhn> I'm using the chipkit compiler https://github.com/jasonkajita/chipKIT-cxx-build
[16:41:27] <rhn> I'm not sure if that matters, but I can't check because the build crashes...
[17:44:34] <lukas2511> ok this one is less impressive
