Hello! I have a project of 8bit Atmel Microcontroller. I want this project to be compiled in Keil for Cortex M3 Microcontroller. But I have some issues.
1. I have an error "SFR undefined identifier". The compiler does not understand what SFR means .
2. There are 2 files with assembler code. The compiler displays a lot of mistakes in all these files.
How to compile this project?
Thank you for your assisstance. As I understood this task is not solvable and impossible.
As I understood this task is not solvable and impossible.
It is likely to be both solvable and possible. It will just take sufficient understanding and time to port the code across from one platform to another. So the real questions are whether you have the necessary tools to accomplish the task and whether it is worth the effort.
No, I didn't say that.
What I said was that it is not a simple matter of just taking the code from one microcontroller & toolset and simply dropping it into another.
What you need to do is to port the code from its original target & toolset to the new target & toolset.
This is, in fact, a common exercise.

As already noted, it requires that you have a good understanding of the original target & toolset and a good understanding of the new target & toolset. You will also need an understanding of the application itself.
If the original code is well written and structured to be portable, then the process of porting can be (relatively) straightforward.

As previously noted, assembler is inherently non-portable.
