Porting CC5X LCD code to CCS for PIC16F88

[djsb]

I would like to attempt to port the code for a Sparkfun Serial enabled 16 x 2 LCD. This is a medium to long term project.

I really like the CCS compiler but I have zero experience with B Knudsens CC5X compiler. My ultimate aim is to create a PCB that I can attach a jellybean 16 x 2 LCD to, as well as learn something myself. This is for use in an embedded systems course where I work.
I am not sure if the code that is freely available can be compiled with the free version of CC5X. I will report back on that later this week. In the meantime, I have attached the link to the firmware here for your perusal (click on documents -> firmware).

I can add the code to a reply if that would be more convenient. Please let me know.

I really just want to know if anyone has any experience of porting code from CC5X to CCS and if they could help me somehow. Thanks.

Seriously there is really nothing involved at all. Forgot about 'porting'. That
code is just a serial interface to a standard LCD. The simplest driver for the
LCD is PCM_Programmers flex_lcd (in the code library here). That accepts
pretty much the same commands (the command set is close to the Hitachi
standard set for these displays). So all you need is a simply #USE RS232
and that driver, and 95% if this is already written.

Ttelmah,
Thanks for your reply.
I will give it a go. If the basic functionality goes well, I'm hoping to add I2C capability to it as well if there's enough code space.
