The cc65 tool chain comes with V.24 drivers so it seems reasonable to use the existing Contiki SLIP driver to implement network access via SLIP as alternative to Ethernet.
Some notes:
- The Ethernet configuration was simplified in order to allow share it with SLIP.
- The Contiki SLIP driver presumes an interrupt driven serial receiver to write into the SLIP buffer. However the cc65 V.24 drivers aren't up to that. Therefore the main loops were extended to pull received data from the V.24 buffers and push it into the SLIP buffer.
- As far as I understand the serial sender is supposed to block until the data is sent. Therefore a loop calls the non-blocking V.24 driver until the data is sent.
On all platforms there's only one V.24 driver available. Therefore V.24 drivers are always loaded statically.
On the Apple][ the mouse driver is now loaded statically - independently from SLIP vs. Ethernet. After all there's only one mouse driver available. However there's a major benefit with SLIP: Here all drivers are loaded statically. Therefore the dynamic module loader isn't necessary at all. And without the loader the heap manager isn't necessary at all. This allows for a reduction in code size roughly compensating for the size of the SLIP buffer.
Historically $(OBJECTDIR) was created when Makefile.include is read. A
consequence is that combining "clean" with "all" (or any other build
target) results in an error because the clean removes the object
directory that is required to exist when building dependencies.
Creating $(OBJECTDIR) on-demand ensures it is present when needed.
Removed creation of $(OBJECTDIR) on initial read, and added an order-only
dependency forcing its creation all Makefile* rules where the target is
explicitly or implicitly in $(OBJECTDIR).
Relevant cc65 changes...
General:
- The compiler generates "extended" dependency info (like gcc) so there's no need for postprocessing whatsoever :-)
- The linker is very pernickety regarding the ordering of cmdline options so a custom linker rule is necessary :-(
Apple2:
- The various memory usage scenarios aren't specified anymore via separate linker configs but via defines overriding default values in the builtin linker config.
Atari:
- The builtin linker config allows to override the start addr so there no more need for a custom linker config.
- The C library comes with POSIX directory access. So there's no more need for for a custom coding.
CBM:
- The C library comes with POSIX directory access. So there's no more need for for a custom coding.
- cc65 2.13. allows to override the stacksize from the linker command line thus eliminating the need for linker configs maintained by Contiki.
- cc65 2.13. integrates the startup code with the library. In 2.12. the startup code pulled in main(). Now main() is supposed to pull in the startup code. But if main() resides itself in a library (as with Contiki) then nothing is pulled in at all :-(. The workaround is to pull in main() explicitly through the new option -u (working like the same GCC option).
The processing done in the canned command sequence FINALIZE_DEPENDENCY brings this tab character to the beginning of the line making the empty rule look like a command.
Therefore we replace the tab character in question with a blank.
At least with gcc (and cc65) the dependency files are generated without an additional run of the C compiler. This is especially beneficial on Cygwin because of the fork() performance issue.

- New files to make compilation availble on sdcc.
- Added support for multithreading.
- All compilers used support the -I option for setting an include search directory.
- The Contiki source tree follows the (common) approach of placing declarations (in headerf iles) in the same directory as definitions (in source files).
As a result it makes sense to use the -I compiler option for just the same set of directories used for the vpath gnumake directive.
Note: I checked several builds but nevertheless one or the other might need some additional adjustsments. Sorry for the inconvenience.
- Search target specific directories before CPU specific directories.
- Search CPU specific directories before generic directories.
Note: I checked several builds but nevertheless one or the other might need some additional adjustsments. Sorry for the inconvenience.
- Added support for the function parameter.
- Removed support for preemption because:
- No other current implementation does so.
- Preemption support would make the code at least target-dependent or it wouldn't work at all (as on plain Apple2 machines without timer interrupt).
