I do not know there is a migration guide. Maybe you can ask in the
sdcc user list.

There is a note on how to convert CCS C to SDCC. But I know
CCS C is very different from C18.

By the way, what is the reason for the conversion?

Ah, thanks, I didn't think of that yet.

Thanks, this is already quite helpful, at least for the basics.

We're working at a university, so our budget is limited :-)
However, the code examples from Microchip are quite useful,
and I thought of that as a good way to learn about SDCC.

MPLAB C18 student version is free and it does not have much limitation. The
only limitation is code optimization. It also works under Linux with Wine.

Yes they are!

I see.
