 Note: the -ile option tells vasm that files included using the incbin directive are in little endian. This gives the same results as the official unSP toolchain when importing binary files.
+===== The C library =====
+vbcc does not come with an open source C library. A full one from other sources could be compiled, but we don't need a complete C library.
+So here is a very minimal one with enough support to run the compiler and to run Contiki, which has minimal needs from the C library (just a few string functions).
+<code c>
+/*
+ * Copyright (C) 2024 Adrien Destugues <pulkomandy@pulkomandy.tk>

+ * Distributed under terms of the MIT license.
+ */
+int strlen(const char* str)
+{
+        int i = 0;
+        while(*str++) i++;
+        return i;
+}
+int isprint(char c)
+{
+        return c >= 32;
+}
+void strcpy(const char* src, char* dst)
+{
+        char c;
+        while (c = *src++)
+                *dst++ = c;
+        *dst = 0;
+}
+void memset(int* s, int v, int n)
+{
+        while(--n >= 0)
+                *s++ = v;
+}
+int strncmp(const char* a, const char* b, int n)
+{
+        while(--n >= 0) {
+                if (*a != *b)
+                        return *a - *b;
+                if (*a == 0)
+                        return *b;
+                if (*b == 0)
+                        return -*a;

+                a -= b;

+}

+To generate the libc.a file:
+<code sh>
+vc +vsmile -nostdlib -O3 -c libc.c
+ar cru libvc.a libc.o
+</code>
+We also need some include files. ctype.h and stdlib.h can be empty, but they are used by Contiki so they must exist.
+string.h has some basic functions declarations and type definitions:
+<code c>
+#ifndef __STRING_H
+#define __STRING_H 1
+/*
+  Adapt according to stddef.h.
+*/
+#ifndef __SIZE_T
+#define __SIZE_T 1
+typedef unsigned int size_t;
+#endif
+#undef NULL
+#define NULL ((void *)0)
+/*
+  Many of these functions should perhaps be implemented as
+  inline-assembly or assembly-functions.
+  Most suitable are:
+  - memcpy
+  - strcpy
+  - strlen
+  - strcmp
+  - strcat
+*/

 ====== Running the compiler ======
+Note: make sure you have set the VBCC environment variable as explained earlier, otherwise the compiler will not find the target configuration and will complain and not compile anything.
 To compile a .c file into a .o file:
