v0.1.4

2 Oct 2024

New features

Different versions of match statement were implemented:

• regular match;
  • With one or multiple identifiers or literas
  • With one or multiple Infix expressions (comparisons)
  • With one or multiple ranges
• assignment by match:
  • With one or multiple identifiers or literas
  • With one or multiple Infix expressions (comparisons)
  • With one or multiple ranges
    The match statements for enums are not allowed yet.

v0.1.3

New features

• All the setup files were migrated from toml to json

v0.1.2

Devices Supported

Devices updated to API v0.1.1

• Software emulator
• PIC16F8x family
• Arduino Uno
• Arduino Nano
• ESP32-DevKitC
• Raspberry Pi Pico

New features

• Compile option was turned into more universal behavior by using pseudo variables inside .toml files
• API modules can be written in both module and module_complement folders
• API implementations can be reused by similar ports or devices calling them from the .toml
• Generate C templates for most of the Aixt's V expression and statements using $tmpl

v0.1.1

Aixt V language

Now Aixt V is closer to original V due to:

• All the variables are immutable by default. mut reserved word is fully supported.
• Only a few C pre-processor directives are supported (#include)
• C macros are avoided
• The Aixt API is implemented mainly in V
• Reference variables are supported
• Interoperability with C is improved by allowing the calling of C functions, constants and variables by using the syntax: C.function() or C.identifier, previous including the correspondent C header file
  declaration/initialization by function calling directly

Changes:

• The pin names and modes don´t include the module's name so pin.setup(pin.d5, pin.output) changes to pin.high(d5, output), this change is for been less redundant.
• All the variables are immutable by default. If a mutable variable is needed, the use of mut reserved word is imperative.
• Variables can be declared/initialized by calling a function directly, so this two lines: a := u16(0) a = adc.read(an5) can be replaced by: a := adc.read(an5)
• Solve some issues with Makefiles.

API standardization

The function names were standardized for these modules:

• pin: individual pins
• port: pin ports
• adc: analog to digital converter
• pwm: pulse width modulation
• uart: serial port
• time: delaying functions

Configuration .toml files

Now the configuration files are split by device-settings and compiler-settings in different .toml files, in order to reuse and make it easy to include similar devices.

Supported devices

Emulator

Software emulator on Linux, Android (Termux) and Windows (x64-based or AArch64-based device: x64 or AArch64), using GCC or TCC compilers.

Microchip

PIC16F8x family

• PIC16F83
• PIC16F83A
• PIC16F84
• PIC16F84A

Arduino boards

• Arduino Uno
• Arduino Nano

The rest of devices or boards have to be migrated from API v0.0.1
