Description Hakan Ardo 2006-05-01 09:07:00 UTC
Forwarding debian bug #362270 from Terran Melconian <terran@consistent.org>:

The attiny26 supports some forms of the LPM (load program memory)
instruction, but under certain circumstances GAS produces an incorrect
error claiming that it does not.

There are three forms of the LPM instruction.  They are:

    i.	    LPM			(r0 is implied destination)
    ii.	    LPM destreg, Z
    iii.    LPM	destreg, Z+

(reference: Atmel AVR instruction set reference, revision 06/99, page
79)

Of these, the attiny26 supports forms i and ii but not iii.
(reference:  Atmel attiny26 datasheet, revision 1477G 03/05, page 170)

avr-as will assemble form i, but refuses to assemble forms ii or iii.
Since the datasheet states that form ii *is* supported on this part, I
believe this to be a bug.

Of course it is possible that it is an error in the manufacturer's
datasheet, and that as' behavior is in fact correct, but barring
explicit information to the contrary I must assume that the
manufacturer's datasheet is authoritative.

The bugfix has been tested with attiny26 and attiny2313.
Where gas now allows lpm r,z for attiny26 but generates
"xxx.S:Nr: Error: postincrement not supported" errors
for lpm r,z+. As before attiny2313 allow both forms of
the lpm instruction.

Cheers,

Hi,
I only forwarded this bugrepport from the debian bts, the fix was done
(as far as I can tell) by joachim dot falk at gmx dot de, and you
should probably contribute it to him and not to me.
