Hello,
RL78 port for YRPBRL78G13 Promotion Board is added in repository. At the moment there are no HAL drivers yet, so only led blinking as a demo is available.
Link to sources:

oh, great job!
What toolchain you used?

I used KPIT Cummins's toolchain. You can download one from
http://www.kpitgnutools.com/,
and the demo project is for Code::Blocks only for now.

Unfortunatelly, my RL78 board is on the way
It will be great to run standard Chibios tests and benchmarks to achive port information.

I think that R5F100xE.ld script should be modified, esspecialy regarding ARM-related stuf
Code: Select all
.ARM.extab :
{
*(.ARM.extab* .gnu.linkonce.armextab.*)
} > flash
.ARM.exidx : {
PROVIDE(__exidx_start = .);
*(.ARM.exidx* .gnu.linkonce.armexidx.*)
PROVIDE(__exidx_end = .);
} > flash

Right, ARM stuff is unnecessary.
Benchmarking will be possible when serial driver will be ready. I think it can be done within few days, then we'll know if everything works well.

After a few fixes RL78 port is almost ready I think.
Sources will be updated after a little cleanup.
Here are the results of tests for comparison with other boards:

Good job!
The context switch is not bad but 11.2 and 11.3 seems to be unusually low, this could be a compiler problem. Is the compiler a GCC derivative?

Thanks
I've also noticed that 11.2 and 11.3 much differ from 11.1, but I don't know yet why. These should be comparable, right?
I'm using GCC toolchain from KPIT Cummins and optimizer option -Os.

Just an hypothesis it would be an hell of compiler problem resulting in a 100x slower score
It could be something like an integer overflow somewhere, even in the test code, resulting in a truncated result.
