I use the HC(s)12 a lot, and I know that in the automotive industry it is also big which I notice is one of your targets. I am going to start off getting the cross-compiler going. I think I am going to have to start a project to get the eclipse integration stuff done, on of the biggest things that I have found turns people away from using eclipse even in windows for this is the process of setting up the build tools, I hope to automate this. It will take a few months to get done I am sure, but over Jan and Feb I should have the cross compiler and programmer tools all packaged up. If there is anyone else on the team that uses the HC(s)12 it would be nice to have some testing help, as I only have one BDM, and two different processors. --Brennan Ashton _______________________________________________ Fedora-electronic-lab-list mailing list Fedora-electronic-lab-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-electronic-lab-list
