Yes .. but not in FSF gcc source. There is a separate sourceforge<br>
project for it.<br>
<br>
Ditto for gdb.<br>
<br>
binutils builds.<br>

This is a small architecture and a port would probably want to<br>
use the msp430 C library. I didn't look at the license.<br>
<br>
It appears to be divided into a "portable" and CPU model part.<br>
Figuring out how to handle this in a general way would be required.<br>

I came across one in Java which appears GUI heavy and didn't look<br>
to be updated in 5 years. I saw another but the links died.<br>

Small like the avr. C library gets tailored to microcontroller
model.<br>
<br>
Cynthia's work to use avr-libc, disable POSIX etc. and use Classic
API <br>
only would be beneficial<br>

My initial impression is that even though RedHat did the port, it is<br>
in an unmerged and possibly out-dated state.<br>
<br>
If someone wants to dig through source and find out who did the<br>
work, I can contact them about what happened. But at this point,<br>
those independently maintaining it would have to have FSF
assignments<br>
and want to do the work to get it merged.<br>

<p>Then this might be too much for a gsoc project, but you can
certainly propose it... definitely there is enough work, but
the risk is whether you can achieve the goals in time.</p>

<p>Is the MCU supported in rtems or do you need to
port it? Is it just a bsp or is the cpu also new for
rtems?</p>
<p>In general a new bsp is an ok project, and coupling
it with something else like a GPS processing library
might make a good project.<br>

I will also chime in. There is one week left
for the deadline for<br>
students to submit proposals, but your
project has a MUCH higher<br>
chance to be accepted if you get the
proposal up early for reviewing<br>
and resubmitting. You can update your
proposal as many times as you<br>
like until the deadline.<br>
