Actually this is right, only a Windows version is available, but program
is wrote with pascal Delphi 5 from Borland. By few months Borland has
released a delphi IDE for Linux, called Kylix, which seem be full compatible
with new Delphi 6 for Windows. Then I aspect to see the porting of DevCpp
in either OS. The point is:
- could be possible to modify the IDE and put it RTEMS knowledge.
  I think to special dialogs in which set the RTEMS parameters like:
  task number, initial task properties, staks, list of module to link,
  choice of cpu & target (BSP), number of messages, and so on...
- could be possible to modify the make file generator to accomplish
  RTEMS's make files.
- could be possible to insert special monitor, outside from gdb, check
  the target (by rom monitor stub) the task status, memory and so on...

But, perhaps, I dream too much....

Yes, this is my first IDE used with RTEMS. It has few functionality and the
debug facilities is also more poor. Nice the graphical impact...

I agree. I use source navigator 5.0 for Windows with GNU tool chain for
Hitachi SH2 (7045F) in alternation at the Green Hills SH IDE. The Windows
version seem be stable but much slow. Sincerely the GNU compiler get code
lightly more fast than Green Hills compiler but with fixed math & floating
point
its quality decrease incredibly. Thus I use SN & GNU tools only for marginal
projects...

However, bye all
