Hi, If you have hands on expereince on MPC555 then please continue reading else ... I want to start experimenting with MPC 555. Can you recommend SW and HW tools for it? SW: * C (and C++) compiler with proper IDE (Integrated Development Environment) * SW libraries allowing me to perform 1-Wire, I2C, SPI, RS232 comm interfaces * RTOS (optional) * Matlab interface (highly desirable) HW: * Small embedded MPC555 board with min 2 UARTs * CAN interface * Ethernet interface (optional) * In circuit debugger support Thank you Miem Chan miemchan at yahoo com au

GNU GCC and binutils support the PowerPC. I'm not sure what a "proper" IDE is.
