- The IDE (Workbench) is Eclipse-based. You have the ability to add REAL breakpoints and other stuff for debugging. You'll need to compile with debug flags, otherwise you only get assembler view. Compiling w/debug goes for any libraries you'd use which is why any FIRST provided added-value such as pre-canned drivers for gyro, et.al. would need to be in a controlled source form.
- Both the Wind River C and GNU C compilers will work.

Does this mean I can just use my existing Eclipse install on my Mac? Maybe add some plugins? Or do I have to use Windriver? What features will Windriver give me over Eclipse?

I can has link? All I could find was the WPI page and some stuff on NI's site.. Not 100MB, no enough to get started.. If all else fails, be cool and upload a package to
FileDropper or something?
