hi all,

mainly thanks to Philipp I now have all the "ingredients" to adapt the STM8 
Peripheral Firmware Library 
(http://www.st.com/web/catalog/tools/FM147/CL1794/SC1807/SS1754/PF258009 
<http://www.st.com/web/catalog/tools/FM147/CL1794/SC1807/SS1754/PF258009>) to 
SDCC. For those who are not familiar with it, this library is a STM 
standardized set of routines for operating the peripherals of the STM8 and 
STM32 family. Thus, a SDCC compatible version would allow using  similar code 
for the STM8 (8-bit, STM core with ~10DMIPS) and the STM32 (32-bit, ARM 
Cortex-Mx core with ~40-430DMIPS) family using only OS tools.

Unfortunately the used license 
(http://www.st.com/software_license_agreement_liberty_v2 
<http://www.st.com/software_license_agreement_liberty_v2>) seems to prohibit 
distributing the source code (modified or not), unless specifically permitted. 
This would make it illegal to publish a modified version for use by the 
community :-(   I have already requested such a permission from STM, but I am 
not very hopeful. 

--> can somebody - who is more savvy in legal english - please re-check the 
license and give me feedback if my understanding is correct? For your support 
thanks a lot in advance!

Greetings and have a nice X-mas!

Georg
