Xita Cross-Compiler (AArch64)

Version: v0.27.10

Note: The C++ version of Xita Cross-Compiler is currently deprecated. For mathematical verifiability, the existing project is in process of being translated to Haskell. The code state of this repository is also badly in need of review by a third party.

This respository provides the Linux-to-Xita cross compiler. This Xita Control System compiler currently targets Arm64 architecture, though a current thrust area for development is to support Arm32 and x86 architectures.

Cross-Assembler

To use the Xita Cross-Compiler, we need a compliant AArch64 cross-compiler. Using the command below will uncompress the cross-assembler into the correct location for Xita internal use.

NOTE: Xita expects the cross assembler to reside in ~/.opt/cross.

$  cd Xita/
$  tar xf aarch64-assembler.tar.xz -C $HOME

Xita-AArch64 Cross-Compiler Installation

Build and Install Xita

$  make install

Build Xita and Do NOT Install

$  make build

Uninstall Xita

$  make uninstall

Xita Usage

The following usage commands assume XCS-AArch64 is installed on the current Linux system. If it is only built (and not installed), you will need to use: $ _build/xcs-aarch64 [...]

$  xcs-aarch64 [OPTIONS] [file1 file2 ...]

Terminal Options

Command-line options can be fed to either the live interpreter or cross-compiler.
See the following list for option syntax and functionality.

• --version
• -v | --verbose

Syntax Highlighting

At present, Xita syntax highlighting is only available for Visual Studio Code.

After installing VS Code, execute the following to install the highlighter:

$  cd ~/.vscode/extensions/
$  git clone https://github.com/CodeusTech/Xita-SyntaxHighlighter

Restart VS Code if it doesn't register *.xs files immediately.
