Inconsistent boards.txt chipKIT Files

[rei-vilo]

All the boards.txt files for the chipKIT mention compiler.c.flags and compiler.cpp.flags, except the WiFire, WF32 and Max32.

uno_pic32.compiler.c.flags=-O2::-c::-mno-smart-io::-w::-ffunction-sections::-fdata-sections::-G1024::-g::-mdebugger::-Wcast-align::-fno-short-double
uno_pic32.compiler.cpp.flags=-O2::-c::-mno-smart-io::-w::-fno-exceptions::-ffunction-sections::-fdata-sections::-G1024::-g::-mdebugger::-Wcast-align::-fno-short-double

Please add those two missing entries to the 3 boards.

Thanks for finding that. Can do.

You're welcome! I've included a patch on my embedXcode makefiles to cope with this.

Shouldn't chipkit_WiFire.upload.maximum_size be 2 MB as advertised and not 512 KB?

chipkit_WiFire.upload.maximum_size=2097152

instead of

chipkit_WiFire.upload.maximum_size=520192

I'll check with Keith about that value, but it should.

The compiler options come from platforms.txt and do not need to be overridden in boards.txt, so this is not an error. The flash size is an error and is 2^^21 - 2^^14 (MZ have 16K pages, not 4K pages). The actual flash size is 2080768.

So, in that case, let's wipe the compiler.c.flags and compiler.cpp.flagsout of the boards.txt for better clarity.

Good idea. If it's not actively maintained or there for a reason it should
go away because it will hide fixes or changes that happen in platforms.txt.

OK, at this point there are default compiler.c.flags and compiler.cpp.flags in the platforms.txt file, and then there are over-ridden values in boards.txt for any board that can benefit from the -G1024 compiler option. (which turns out to be most of them). At this point I feel like this issue has been taken as far as it needs to go.
