[DISCUSSION]: PPC toolchain on PS2SDK. Do we want it? #539
since @qnox32 has been doing some amazing job on PPC stuff, I wondered if we will eventually put the PPC toolchain and compiler here on PS2SDK. what do you think guys?

I think we should add the toolchain (binutils+gcc) as soon as it can build something usefull. I'm not up to date with the latest developments, but perhaps there's already usefull code to be compiled?

Well, nox has made a program (also hosted on the linked repo) called PPC monitor, basically it's an UART operated program running on the PPC to manipulate the IOP RAM and PPC compatibility modes and more.
Nox even mentioned that a basic debugger is on his plans.
Another ancient project, the hdpro clone of wisi, used a similar software (actually, PPC monitor is partially based on that one)
Not sure TBH. all I know is that these scripts alredy build and install toolchain and gcc for powerpc into $PS2DEV/powerpc/ with powerpc-ps2-eabi- prefix

ps2toolchain-iop-ppcps2toolchainmodifiedbinutils-gdbcan use latest release (no special changes needed?)gcccan use latest release (no special changes needed?)Anything I miss?
