You can use anything to write the code, but as far as I know, you need the PPC cross-compiler included with WindRiver Workbench. The actual downloading is easy: the "Deploy" button in WRW just uses FTP to copy the compiled code to the robot.

If you were really determined, you could probably set up a makefile to compile your code using WindRiver's compiler (WRW might actually be doing this already), and then FTP the code to the robot.
