I'm currently porting an application to chipKit uno. In the code I used uint8_t as type, but when compiling using mpide-022 I get this error:

" error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'uint8_t'"

Does anybody know what the reason is? Do I have to include any file?

The same is true for int8_t int16_t and so on.

Thanks for any response. Paolo.

The expanded C types are usually in #include <stdint.h> (Although: I don't see this explicitly included by anything in either the arduino or mpide source, and a quick test had my sketch containing uint8_t compile just fine for either uno or regular uno, without any includes.) (Sometimes an error like this means that there is a missing semicolon or something in whatever code precedes the uint8_t declaration...)

Thanks. This fixed the problem.
