DevkitPro for Nspire possible?
willrandship:
For those who don't know, devkitPro is a popular toolchain for developing of many handhelds, such as the GP2X, GBA, NDS, PSP and others. This is why it was so easy to port their homebrew across all the different devices.
Since the NSpire runs the same ARM9 code as the GBA, would it be possible to build asm programs using devkitpro? While there are not any libraries written as of yet, the code base would be the same, and it would allow us direct access to much other code. Also, certain libraries may be portable, such as graphics libraries. The more compatible libraries we write, the easier it is to code and port.
Anyone have any feedback? Comments? Questions? Criticisms? All are welcome! :P

Hmmm...I see that devkitPro is also a gcc-based toolchain. It should be possible.

Now, my main question: How would one go about setting it up?
I haven't had much experience programming in asm (none actually) but I think this would spur on much more development.
just a thought.....in the future, since the nspire has a rather powerful processor, on-calc asm programming could be feasible and rather speedy!
EDIT: would you happen to have a non-united TI link to the nspire emu? United TI is in the middle of its scheduled downtime.

That would be nice if it actually made developement easier. ASM can be rather hard to program for because the code ends up so long. Libraries would be very welcome for people who prefer higher level programming rather than having to code 10 lines of code just to do a simple thing.
As for UTI it appears to work fine for me. I can access it fine at the moment. However, you need to register an account to download attachments there, which sucks. A copy of the emu, despite not being up to date, is available in our downloads section:
