Yes, in the sense that I want to support the dsPIC architecture (PIC30/33) which is I think a superset of PIC24. I want to use it as a test case to see how the current Staapl structure translates to a more standard RISC machine.

What are you using for FP? Nothing yet. I'm was waiting for other people to solve that problem. Seriously though, I didn't have a need for it yet.
