that's pretty impractical. letting alone the type hell one would have in porting a c compiler, i don't know of any 8 bit parts with an mmu, and the avr is especially difficult, being a harvard arch chip with program memory only in flash. a more fruitful approach would be to write an assembler and simulator, then an event loop to poll devices and serve an external interface (9p or simplier, depending on how stupid the chip is. :-)) which one could read from a machine with more brains, a plan 9 box. jeff sickel is working with pics and other tiny controllers. see the resonance tracking paper and slides at http://5e.iwp9.org/ and the work in progress at http://4e.iwp9.org/ - erik
