Thanks much appreciated!! Go's syscall interface looks clean so it wouldn't be too much to deal with either way. I'd be happy with put+get char to start with!

I don't mind writing a new backend as the compilers are quite easy to work with by the looks. Plus it'll exercise my brain more than typical CRUD apps.

The C compiler in the Go tree that's used to compile the C bits of the runtime already supports ARMv4 (unsurprisingly, since it was written a long time ago for Plan 9 and Inferno), only the Go compiler would need modifications. The compiler suite is a pleasure to work on, really clear code, just like all the other code Ken Thompson wrote. Good luck.

  Even nicer. Thanks for the info. I'll submit results if I get anywhere - might take a month or two :-) Currently trying to a (any) toolchain online first to test the board and get a ucLinux kernel up (gcc cross-compiler + OpenOCD + Olimex ARM-JTAG + ThinkPad Ultrabay parallel port stack should be 'fun').

    Replying to myself. ucLinux + hello world + gdb via OpenOCD online at 4AM :) Now for the go toolchain...
