No. We are working on GPL'd development environment for MCS51 based micros. C compiler is working now, simulator is ready too. It would be nice to use gdb as a sphisticated interface to the simulator. My idea is that hex file generated by the compiler/linker could be placed in an empty elf file, for example in a .mcs51code section which could be passed to the simulator by the gdb-sim interface. If the compiler could produce debug info in stab format then it could be included into that empty 'template' elf file too, so gdb could debug it, I hope. So it doesn't matter what the native target is, any kind of elf could be usabe I think. Daniel
