Unfortunately there is no recent version in CVS. I am working on OR1320 which
isn't in CVS. Jimmy is working on OR1601 which is on web but not in CVS. And I
think he also has more recent version.

In any case it is possible that silicon version will be available sooner than we
expect.

No particular debugging machanism. GDB is sort of under development. Johan
Rydberg was working on it but it looks like version in the CVS is broken. GCC
and Binutils are more or less ready. Just recently RTEMS guys had sucessful
build also on Cygwin and these tools are used to start with RTEMS port. Actually
RTEMS port is underway. Glibc is almost ready.

Linux is really in early stages. RTEMS will be the first one working. I am
working on BSP for RTEMS. Latest snapshots of RTEMS have stubs for OR32 port.
eCos port wasn't started yet.

Yeah, I need to dedicate more time to web pages.
