Gm Programming

[Tom Sharpe]

Groups,

I found a site that might explain why it is difficult to decifer(sp?) GM
code.

Anyone ever heard of Intermetrics???  AverStar??  Know anyone there??

"Modula-GM
Engines controlled by software written in AverStar's Modula-GM won the
Indianapolis 500 two years in a row. If you have a recent model GM car
or truck, the engine controller was most likely programmed in Modula-GM.
A Modula-2 derivative, Modula-GM is the primary programming tool for
Delco engine controllers and other real-time automotive control
software. We enhanced Modula-2 to give Delco maximum performance of its
in-vehicle microcontrollers while minimizing memory requirements. The
result for Delco is cost-effective production of the millions of units
it ships each year."

Can we get a copy of any code??  Compilers, etc.??

Is there a GNU modula compiler?? Yes!! (SEVERAL)

Now that we know what it is, (where it came from) it may be easier to
translate Bin files into C++ rather than C (or M-asm). Modula looks like
Object Pascal (Delphi) to me.

"General Motors and its subsidiary Delco do their programming in General
Motors Modula-2."
