Firmware development toolchain details

I've just hooked the USB cable to my PC (also supplies power), then run putty (a terminal/ssh program) connecting to the COMx port where the RCP lives, connect at 115200 baud 8N1, and hit ENTER to get a menu. You can change loglevel to tell RCP how much information to spew across the serial link. I also tried to get it working under linux, under virtualbox, but the emulation of linux seems to be too time-consuming for the serial port to work reliably that way.

Keep us posted on the work you're doing!

That website evaporated/expired... or is it this?
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuarmeclipse/

The RCP readme shows building requirements for MK2, what's the current setup for MK1? I figure if I can build/run my own fork, I'll spend less time pestering you guys trying to learn/debug stuff.
