• PPLC/PPLD update

    From Mike Krueger@1:105/420 to All on Tuesday, January 14, 2025 23:30:06
    I'm atm developing a pcboard replacement. I provide ppl development tools as well.

    I updated PPLD/PPLC and provided a vs code extension for PPL development.

    The ppl decompiler can decompile all versions of .PPE files and suports PPE up to 15.4 (340 version number) - but defaults to 330 since the last version wasn't finished yet.

    The compiler is compatible to PCBoard and produces in general much smaller & faster .PPE files than the other ones.

    For example the AGSENTR.PPE had 2804 bytes got down to 2154 after decompile/compile.

    Put the icy_board bin/ to your PATH (ppl-language-server is required in the PATH).
    Then simply drag & drop the .vsix to the vs code extensions and .ppl files have all features.

    It's part of icy_board. To try out the ppl compiler/decompiler grab a
    icy_board for your os here: https://github.com/mkrueger/icy_board/releases/tag/0.1.1

    It's part of the distribution (with some other tools).

    icy_board is still in early development but it's possible to import existing pcboards (to a degree -need feedback), run .ppe files (if something isn't working feedback should be nice) & play around. Much things are supported but that's pre-alha. However feedback of any sort would be really helpful.
