Using avr-as with TinyOS requires that avr-as could accept $ symbols in identifiers. In nesc-1.1.2 there was a patched version of as that was installed with the package itself. In the upcoming nesc-1.2 the patched version of as will not be included. Here is some hints for solving the problem: https://mail.millennium.berkeley.edu/pipermail/tinyos-2.0wg/2005-July/000993.html https://mail.millennium.berkeley.edu/pipermail/tinyos-2.0wg/2005-July/000994.html https://mail.millennium.berkeley.edu/pipermail/tinyos-2.0wg/2005-July/000998.html This bug block newer version of nesc. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. copy tinyos ebuilds in your local overlay 2. emerge tinyos 3. try to compile any application for mica2 (wich use avr) Actual Results: avr-as refuse to compile because there are unknown opcodes (due to $ symbol in identifier) Expected Results: avr-as should compile code with $ symbols.
i dont support avr if you want it fixed, attach a patch to the bug
Is this the only application of this patch? What are the $ signs used for? Are they only part of text identifiers? If this is the only application then I question why you would patch avr-as instead of tinyOS. I also agree. We do not have time to go looking for patches. You need to attach them to the bug report.

Created attachment 68618 [details, diff] reintroducing $ simbol in avr opcode produced by diff -u -r binutils-2.15 avr-binutils-2.15tinyos I've not tested it against binutils-2.16. I've not tested it with any other patch applied by gentoo. I've planned to give it a try ASAP but I can't say when I'll can do it.
I hope this patch could be useful.
ok, that patch is good enough for me to tweak and add, thanks
added to binutiles-2.16.1, no rev bump :P
Tested, works fine for me.
Thanks.
