Chipcon CC1110 compiler

I have been using the 1100 series from TI for some time now and am quite happy with them. I would like to get into the SoC 1110 series, but the 8051 compilers specified by TI are all over $1500.- Since I cannot justify the expense, is there an inexpensive way to program the internal 8051 processor without breaking the bank?

Thanks,

Ron

[SDCC is free. I use it with my nRF24LU1 micros (also 8051 core) and it works great.](http://sdcc.sourceforge.net/)

Has anyone used SDCC with the Bipom micro-IDE? I can’t seem to get it out of compiling to a small memory model. I’d like to change it to a large model. I can change the linker for code generation, but compiling stays small.

Thanks,

Ron
