Howto Guide on Porting the LLVM Assembler

Project Infrastructure LLVM Dev List Archives

Hi Everyone,

I have been implementing the integrated assembler for the OpenRISC 1000
architecture.

Whilst doing this I noticed a lack of documentation around this area. To
help others, I have written a how to guide which uses the OpenRISC 1000
as an example.

This can be downloaded from http://www.embecosm.com/download/ean10.html.

I hope this document proves useful. Any feedback would be very much
appreciated.

Many Thanks,
Simon Cook

Wow this is awesome! Would it be okay if we linked to this from llvm.org/docs?

Committed as r166106. Thanks!

In the future, you might consider writing this documentation within
LLVM's docs instead of hosting it separately. That way it will
(hopefully) be updated if API's change, along with being able to be
reviewed and edited by other community members. Another benefit is
that you can write it in reStructuredText, which is a lot nicer than
DocBook XML.
