Hi... Have you heard that a pascal compiler can create programs for ARM7 ? This is for a hobby project with a LPC2148, and i won't learn C or others...
Thanks.

 

Yes. Take your pick.

Google ARM pascal

and choose which one you wish to use.

Ok, I got a little more interested in this. I have a development board called the EasyPIC6 made by MikroElektronika

http://www.mikroe.com

They also make an EasyARM dev board.

Point: They make a C, BASIC, and PASCAL compiler for many microControllers, so I checked to see if they made PASCAL for ARM...

Well it doesn't appear so.

BUT, http://www.freepascal.org/ has a free PASCAL compiler for just about everything out there.

So there ya go.

Hi retched and thaks for your reply.
I know about all products of MikroElctronika, beacause i already use my EasyPIC5 with MikroPascal PRO for PIC.
MikroE have not a pascal compiler for ARM...

I know as well Freepascal... it's maybe a good solution ?.... maybe...
Thaks

Freepascal is worth a try!

 

Another approach could be to find a Pascal to C translator (search for "pascal to c"). Then you could write in Pascal and use a C compiler.

 

Hi! a P2C converter is a good tool to translate, for example, this code: if H = true then Z := Z + 1;... but for a big algorithm (> 1000 line), with many loops (while, repeat/until), pointer and specifics types... it's more and more difficult to do a correct translation...

 

Hi!
For the question "Make program in pascal for ARM7, is possible ?", the response is YES !
Look at this good tool form this web site: http://rentcom-embed.jimdo.com/
This is a complete IDE/Compiler for ARM7, with many libraries...

Hi,
any body have tested the full version of this pascal compiler : http://rentcom-embed.jimdo.com/home/lpc-compiler/ ?

 

Honestly, you are the only person to bring up pascal in the last year or so..

I would see if the product has a following, and a forum.

There is likely where you will get good info on it.

I honestly would not mess with pascal.. I havent since TurboPascal in the early 90's

Im not saying you shouldn't, I have spent a lot of time "forgetting" pascal to learn 'C' and embedded basic, so I have my plate full... Same reason, i guess, that you will not learn C..

 

I used to love Pascal, just made more sense than C to me. I remember learning it on Alice Pascal (now free). Doubt it'll ever be more than a niche language for microcontrollers.

 

Hello,

As it is a french product you will probably not find many people who have tested it.
You can download a trailversion I saw on the website.
I do not know if there are limitations with it.
