I've got a Cygwin source distro snapshot from a few months back that we're distributing to our customers (along with arm-elf toolchain) so they can do arm-elf development for our hardware platform. I personally haven't done remote stuff under Cygwin, but others tell me it works. If you like, I could mail you a CD, or I could put it on my ftp site. I don't have enough space for the whole thing, so I'd have to put the "contrib" packages up seperately after you've grabbed the other stuff. > To make matters worse, a magazine article I'm writing that > describes how to use Cygwin and GNU tools for arm-elf > development is set to appear in in the December issue of > Circuit Cellar Ink magazine.

Cygwin has had serial problems in the past, and I remember people having to install specific Cygwin versions to get serial ports to work under gdb (and I presume other apps as well). > A draft of the manuscript for the article is at: > > http://billgatliff.com/articles/gnu/gnu-arm7t/index.html . > > Suggestions, patches, signs of moral support, etc. would all be > most graciously accepted.
