Beta testers wanted for COD removal from MPASM Assembler

For our next MPASM release in late January, one of the new features is the removal of the COD file format.

This feature will affect only those who build and debug with absolute assembly files (not using the MPLINK object linker). Removing the COD file output eliminates the limitations of requiring the project files to be within a 64-character path length and not being able to debug above 0xFFFF locations. This change should be transparent to everyone.

We would like some users of MPASM who are not using the linker to try out this new feature and provide feedback.

If you are willing to try this out, send an e-mail to devtools ‘at’ microchip.com.
