Anyone know if there is anything to allow Assembler/Assembly Language programming/development/testing on the n800?

Something like "as" / Gnu Assembler.
I looked for a port of Gnu BinUtils but didn't see one.

Ability to write, compile & test some simple assembly programs on N800 would be very cool.
Any IDE's or other useful programming tools ?
I have found "gdb" for debugging which is a good start.

I'd like to be able to do some basic dev, testing & debugging. Nothing major.
Primarily interested in Assembly Language, C & related tools.

I too would be interested in assembly programming, but haven't found much help. My guess would be that the tools would have to be cross-compiled, which I can give a look sometime this week.

here's a start

Keep in mind that the N800 uses an ARM processor, so you'd have to know ARM assembly - assembly is not portable from x86 (standard desktop computers). Cross-compiling higher-level languages in Scratchbox is quite doable, though.

ARM provides free downloads of their reference manuals; you can also use GCC from the SDK (in ARM mode) with the -S flag so that it outputs assembly code.
