Hi! Welcome to Omnimaga! :)

This is not possible on the Nspire, but it has been done before, namely with the TI-89 series of calculators.  A C-Development environment program, named GTC, was made that allowed C development directly on the calc.
I wouldn't say it is not possible. Gcc and the various tools it requires just need to be ported over. (Not that I'm going to do it or anything, but still,it is a possibility)

When I said it is "not possible", I meant that it is not possible at this time! :)

Sorry for any confusion I may have caused. :)

well it's impossible for everything to be possible, because if everything is possible, then it's possible that everything is impossible.

I just got this to work on my first try. Funny since I am new to all of these procedures except installing YAGARTO.  :thumbsup:

I'm new to NSpire Development (C and Assembly) and there are a few things I'm curious about.

The files are .tns (Assembly files) but that's just to allow the Computer Link Software to read it, right?
C files are converted to Assembly when compiled?
I am gonna follow the tutorial later and then come back.

yes and no if you mean "machine code"(hex) with assembly then 2*yes
but if you mean with assembly something like
...
add r1, r2
mov r3, #4
ldr r0, [r1]
...
then no

Just 1 request. A working "Hello world". Puts() does nothing but crash, even when the file is unmodified.

Did you try samples/hello.tns? Does it crash?

puts() writes to the serial output, you won't see anything on real hardware unless you've built an adapter. But run from nspire_emu the text will be displayed on the DOS console.
There is currently no standard function to display text on the screen but several programs already integrate custom functions for this.

I don't know about mint, but http://hackspire.unsads.com/wiki/index.php/C_and_assembly_development_introduction describes the setup for Ubuntu.

Yagarto is an arm-none-eabi toolchain (and that's what we want), while the Ubuntu toolchain is an arm-linux-gnueabi toolchain, AFAICT.

I'm currently in the process of further improving and documenting the script I use for creating an arm-none-eabi toolchain, re-testing it with GCC 4.5.3, Newlib 1.19.0 and GDB 7.2, and will post it to Hackspire :)
EDIT: done. http://hackspire.unsads.com/wiki/index.php/C_and_assembly_development_introduction#On_other_Linux_distributions
But I think we want to remove the note about the Ubuntu/Mint package - it's not the toolchain flavor we're looking for.

I've added blah/ndless2/sdk/bin to my PATH variable (in Ubuntu) but when after typing in "make" in the hello sample folder, I get this error: "make: execvp: nspire-gcc: Permission denied." If I type in "sudo make", I get "make: nspire-gcc: Command not found." What's wrong?
