The tools did compile without complaints. When I tried to compile a simple hello program, the compiler stated that the NDS supported mixing Thumb and normal ARM code, but the run-time system was not built to support it. Since I wanted to focus on GBA first, I haven't bothered to rebuild the tools for NDS. If you follow the instructions on http://www.rtems.com/wiki/index.php/RTEMSAda there's a good chance you can generate a usable set of tools. If you run into problems, I'm sure someone from the RTEMS mailing list will be happy to help out. Btw, I read somewhere on the RTEMS mailing list that the NDS support is now updated to use DevKitPro. --Micronian Coder
