Gcc and the New Controller

Hello everybody,

I'm just a beginner to the world of C programming, and I have used gcc liberally in the past. From what I have heard so far, the new Robot Controller/EDU controller can only be programmed with MPLAB and (if C is needed) C18. Does anyone have any ideas as to how we might be able to use gcc and/or some cross-compilers to create Robot Controller-compatible binaries w/o MPLAB and C18?

There is no gcc port to the processor so, no, you can't use gcc.

Jeremy_Mc will become famous soon enoughJeremy_Mc will become famous soon enough
it's not so much that there's not a port, it's that the C18 libraries haven't been ported to work with any other compiler (or atleast i wouldn't think they would...).

that would probably be a good question to ask microchip...

gcc probably won't work. check this thread for more info on programming the new RCs with free/open source software this year:
