If this is your aim, I am afraid you will be disappointed with JAT. As I said, it is a proof of concept (not even beta) and I abandoned development. I'm willing to answer a question every now and then on the subject if someone intends to continue on this project. But I am too busy to spent any significant time on this (even if I wanted to).
Of course it could be interesting to run the sample code on an existing target. I'd recommend you take an arduino board + arduino development environment for this. Anything beyond this will require knowledge of the c-cross-compiler tool-chain of your specific target. > Jeop, I installed GCC (on windows). Actually MinGW. Then ran > build.bat. MinGW is a windows compiler. You don't need this unless you are going to work on the JAT source code. What you do need is to setup a c-cross-compiler-tool chain for your particular target and write a c program to verify this works, e.g. to blink a led. Once you have done this, take a look at jat and build.bat to see how these should be adapted for your target. I wonder how you intend to proceed once you verified the blinking led. You seem to have some ideas on the use of device files and re-use of jal libraries for other targets. This will probably require (amongst others) additional work on the JAT code base, since it does not yet fully support JAL and most likely contains bugs. And work on JAT goes way beyond a first C program... So bottom line: - Take an existing platform (of which arduino is probably the easiest) if you want to reproduce the jat-blink-a-led. Make sure the cross compiler tool chain is running before you start on anything from JAT. - To convert JAT into a useful tools, quite some effort and knowledge of C is required Joep -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jallib" group.
