![]() FlexSpin is the compiler created by Eric Smith of Total Spectrum Software, written in C. PNut is the official Parallax compiler and was written in X86 assembly for use in the Propeller Tool for Windows. If you benefit from this Quick Byte, we encourage you to join Parallax and also recognize their contributions through their Patreon accounts:Ĭonsiderations Between PNut (Parallax) and FlexSpin (Total Spectrum Software) Compilers The P2 open source community is motivated by user feedback from the Parallax forums, the Propeller 2 Live Forums and messages of appreciation. Note: the bottom of this document includes a summary of links to important resources. You can obtain more specific instructions for all supported operating systems from Stephen Moraco’s “Iron Sheep” GitHub. These instructions are for configuring the P2 with VSC under Windows. You will also have access to other VSC Marketplace extensions. Additionally, an ANSI-compliant terminal program of your choice (Parallax Serial Terminal, TerraTerm, CoolTerm, etc) may also be used for serial debug. All software is open source, freely available, and easily configured to compile and download to the P2. ![]() The software required includes Microsoft VSC, the Spin2 extension (Stephen Moraco’s Iron Sheep Software), and the PNut software (Windows only Parallax Inc.) or the FlexProp software (Mac, Linux and RaspPi Total Spectrum Software). VSC with the Spin2 extension provides syntax highlighting and compiling/downloading to a Propeller via add-in compilers with the familiarity of a very popular programming environment. The process for Mac, RaspPi, and Linux operating systems is similar and not detailed in this post – but the differences are shown on Stephen Moraco’s “Iron Sheep” GitHub (link at bottom). This Quick Byte details the setup to configure Visual Studio Code (VSC) to program the Propeller 2 (the P2, or P2X8C4M64P) on Windows.
