Yes, it would be cool. However, one of the great benefits of using Linux is not to worry about virus and other.

I heard this also from the owner of Technologic Systems too. But thought it was further out there.

Well, Linux is not virus-free (it's ancestors had the first-ever virus) and the crazy people that write malware have become more active on Linux and the Mac than they ever were before. The biggest issue with Windows tends to be just that - it's big.

There is an ARM C/C++ compiler called IAR.

http://www.iar.com/website1/1.0.1.0/68/1/

I've started C coding on it to write SonyEricsson Patches and ELFs, I don't know how write a Windows application using it, but I believe it is possible.

I used IAR and Keil but only with SDCC I really got what I wanted.

[EDIT]
Btw.: IAR doesn't even provide old compilerversions, so you are really stucked when trying to compile old examples with it. You even can't import some old Texas Instruments examples.

Hello,
tseyfarth wrote:Not to get confused, on my part, I do not want to write anything that will actually control the uC, but a higher level to run on top of Linux. I may be getting confused or not, just not really understanding the details to what I am wanting to accomplish (another part of the learning curve!).

Is what you guys are suggesting that direction? This is where one of the issues has come up with finding the best tools for me to develop with. First looking for Cross Platform, thinking just the OS was important (having come from a strictly Wintel environment) to now finding that while PB will run on Linux, but it wont run on linux on top of an ARM processor.

Some have suggested Q7, and in fact there is an Alpha Q7Basic product which has a brother KBasic which is also based on Q7. The Q7B product is too new, but it does have some promise I think. It takes basic syntax, converts to C++ files, then uses the Q7 platform to compile to the target OS using either a GCC C++ or VS C++ compiler.

I did see the Keil product and was scared away by the licensing.

Thanks again!
Tim
If you have some interest for the "Q7basic" new form of Kbasic...
I have this for you...
Hello,
nearly all features of KBasic will come over the next months in Q7Basic
(it is a total rewrite of kbasic): interpreter runtime, form designer
etc. Therefore, q7basic will be kbasic in a few months.

GoSub, Data and some very old basic commands are not planned to be
supported though.

If you order a kbasic license, it is also valid for q7basic for all time
- so no risk.
Kind regards,
Bernd
For this moment, i try the Kbasic, and is not bad... But i waiting for the Q7Basic.....
Best,

Isn't he also the cat behind Objective BASIC which seems to have stalled in development?

Above the answer I found is a few days ... This is an open source ...
For the rest, there is the site, the forum and wait and see.
Me, I still took the license because the cheap, with sources in C + + available...
(In order to compile KBasic, you need to have installed Qt development packages (Version >= 4.6))
Which is not bad ! :wink:
