With help from Peter Siebold I have also been able to get GCC built for =
the Axiom PB0555 board, which uses the MPC555. I am in the process of =
converting some of the Newlib code to run on the '555. So far I have =
most of the string functions, malloc, calloc & realloc and printf, (no =
FP). I have done dtoa() (float to ascii) but ran out of room in the ram =
to test it. I will have to put my code in flash to test this out.
    I don't mean to detract from the work being done on the EFI332 =
project; but anyone who has not got in on one of the EFI332 buys might =
want to consider using the PB0555 as a base. It has more features than =
you can poke a stick at. The price is not too bad at $199. It will need =
a "daughter board" with signal conditioning and other I/O stuff, =
possibly some more ram (26K on chip). It has about 380K of available =
flash memory so that should be enough for most DIY projects :-)
  Peter is way ahead of me and actually has an engine running using this =
board. I am still just messing around with software at the moment.
    If a few people think it appropriate I could upload the compiler =
binaries and test program etc to the ftp site, (especially if someone =
gives me directions on how to do it :-) )

Cheers,
Simon
