Problems compiling 'Blink' project

[GenericWorkName]

I've been trying to compile the 'Blinky' code example for a while now.
After setting up MPLAB with the XC16 compiler (which, according to microchip, is equivalent to the X30) I get the following compilation (or linkage) erorr:

This is an issue with a breaking change on the PIC linker. I recommend using an older version.

I have install XC16 compiler v2.0.0, v1.7.0, v1.6.0, v1.4.1, v1.3.3, v1.3.0, and v1.2.0.
Only v1.2.0 can compile blink project.

@ytai
Are there any plans to update the firmware of ioio? For example, support python

[hannesa2]

I guess not. @ytai lost the interest. We only can help ourself

[Cherish-Gww]

@hannesa2
OH GOD, PLEASE, NO.
Is there have a good open source project, that python can access mcu?
pyMCU project does not access.

[hannesa2]

You mean this http://www.circuitsforfun.com/pymcu.html ? Sorry, I can't help you

[topherbuckley]

@Cherish-Gww not sure what you are looking to do, but if you are just looking to use python with a microcontroller, you can try micropython. There are plenty of boards out there that can run this (e.g. Seeed Studio Xiao).

@topherbuckley
I investigated mircopython, here what we want is a kind of usb io bridge, we want run python script with GUI on PC. via usb to access test point, for example: control gpio output to enable DC-DC, then read ADC value. generate a fake data in usart for testing. via usb to access can bus, and so on.

[topherbuckley]

@Cherish-Gww is this a past use case of the IOIOBoard? I'm not familiar with such a use case and not sure if the IOIOBoard would be your best choice for such an application. Again, I'd recommend looking at other boards like the Seeed Studio Xiao as this has such an API built in already.

@topherbuckley
Thank you very much, I found that mircopython has been provide pyboard script, so that running on PC python script can access mcu peripheral via pyboard object.
here is the doc: https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/reference/pyboard.py.html
or install rshell package to get pyboard: https://github.com/dhylands/rshell
