PIC32 port
Hello,
Just to let you know, a PIC32 port is underway as of today. I will initially be targeting the PIC32MX470 using Microchip's XC32 toolchain.
Thanks,

hahaa!! Yeah. I wasn't suggesting a port for the 16F688. Like you say,
that's a total non-starter. Sort of a fork-in-eye concept.
I was just wondering my my PIC experience could help with your PIC32 port.
I don't know enough about the latter part(s) to answer that question, and
whether you'll even be doing any assembly work.

Hi Greg,
It's completely different. The 16F series consists of 8-bit
microcontrollers. The PIC32 as the name suggests is 32-bit and it's
based on MIPS. Making a port that targets any PIC16F would be really
though!
Cheers,

I've been doing a bunch of PIC16F688 work over the past couple years. Not
sure how close that chip is to the chip/board you're working with. If you
do any assembly-level work, then I'd be happy to review/support. (of
course, C-level support is much more broadly available here)
Lemme know, and welcome to mynewt!!

Hi Fabio,
I'm using one of the 6LoWPAN Clicker boards from this: https://creatordev.io/ci40-iot-dev-kit.html
There is a Curiosity board with the same chip in it with what looks like strikingly similar IO.
Thanks,
Julian

Hi Julian,
That's great! Are you using the curiosity board?
