I have a GHI FEZ Spider with a GHI EMX board containing an LPC2478 ARM.
To use this board as GHI wants, I need to have the entire Microsoft
world on my back plus the GHI stuff!
I was investigating using gadgeteer. GHI made a minor version change to
the SDK, 4.1 to 4.2 and broke everything. My code will no longer
compile. I have to generate the project from scratch and copy/paste my
code into the new project. Bummer. If they did it now, they will do it
again. I want to get completely away from Microsoft (I use FreeBSD
and/or Linux) and GHI. And C# for that matter.
I am comfortable writing code for the ATmega and ATxmega embedded
processors.
I want to drop Microsoft and GHI and use gcc + something to down load
code...
Has anyone compiled and run code on the FEZ Spider/EMX without using
Microsoft?
I prefer to use gcc on either linux or FreeBSD.

I have a fez cerb 40. I will let you know when I get native code running. It
should be possible to flash it overwriting whatever firmware is on there now.

What compiler do you use? What do you use to write the object module to
the fez? By object, I mean .elf or .hex...
