Matrix Math in HAL was created by meisu
Does anyone know how to implement matrix math in HAL? I haven't been able to initialize two dimensional array variables and I can't get C functions to compile that would do the arithmetic for me, once the 2-d arrays were implemented. Any help or direction to help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Peter

If so, you might find this patch pushed to the 2.5 branch a couple of days ago is helpful:

So, if I put an asterisk in front of the variable name I can make it a pointer to a 2-d array? Then can I define the 2-d array with #define?

Such As:

variable float *2darray;

function(main);

;;
#define 2darray[2][2] = {3,5,2,7};


Will this work?

No, that won't work, the define will be overridden in the generated code
Would that work in normal C?
You should be able to define the pointer then kmalloc it then index into it as an array.
It might be easier to switch to editing the generated C code if this is a one-off for your own use.
