The easiest way to develop for the NanoNote for new users is to not use
any PC development environment at all :)

We have Tcl, Lua, Python (even Python-GTK?), Guile, GCC, Forth and maybe
more languages that run natively on the NanoNote.  All that's needed is
a ssh connection.  Note that you also have Emacs, vi, svn on the
Nanonote providing a simple development environment.

On the library front, there's lua-plplot for data visualization,
python-gtk which I mentioned already.  For gForth I once coded a simple
example how to do direct framebuffer video out using gForth's shared
library interface.

Getting lua-allegro on the nanonote would help a lot, giving us sound,
2D-graphics, software-rendered 3D-graphics and simple GUI capability in
a few lines of Lua script.

BTW did you try the pre-build cross-toolchain provided in the firmware
download directory? :

That's for amd64 Linuxes, though.

cheers,

David
