Smaller code size for core??

[lpuser13]

Thanks for the great work on this repository... :)

Is it possible to make the base code size smaller.

For example I compiled a default/empty sketch for ch552 using CDC. The output shows: Sketch uses 4123 bytes (28%) of program storage space. Maximum is 14336 bytes.

When I checked the generated .map file i saw the following:

Is there any way to change compiler optimizations to stop the highlighted or unused functions from being included?

You may have to edit the core to do the job. SDCC's linker is not very good at linking optimization

ok, please close

I noticed this a few months ago as well. I have a project with a large buffer that wouldn't compile after I upgraded to the newest version. It looks like the inclusion of UART1 took up enough extra RAM so my code wouldn't compile, even though I wasn't using either serial port. (CH551 doesn't even have a UART1).

PR #115 is a potential solution to this that allows selection of which (if any) hardware serial ports to include in the build.
