Developer devkitPro is sending out word that the latest build for devkitARM is now available for download. For those asking, DevkitARM is a toolchain for programming homebrew software for Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance. There are two versions available for use: One for Windows, and one for Linux OS. Here are the latest changes for devkitARM since version 19b:

• Upgraded to gcc 4.1.2
• Added gdb by popular request
• Now including libraries for ARM big-endian devices - this relates to a request from the winARM maintainers, not DS related.
• Newlib patches extended to allow time() to work on the DS
• argv has been added - this will require support from the homebrew launcher menu on various cards
• ndstool now uses the default arm7 core distributed with libnds in preference to an embedded one
• Now working on Vista/Vista64 - users who were impatient and modified paths should now remove those changes
  

Keep note that devkitARM will require libnds 20071023 to run properly. libnds 20071023 carries these latest changes:

• some freeBSD fixes to makefiles
• added RTC setup and sound initialisation to arm7 core
• corrected glViewport for openGL consistency ( old spelling was glViewPort) , correct angle for gluPerspective and corrected glFrustum matrix
• IRQ nesting now works properly
• other more general fixes detailed in the changelog on SF
• DS examples updated for latest libnds

Downloads for both software will be provided for here, although we strongly advise readers to visit the devkitPro website for further information regarding this developer's tool.

There's a new release of devkitPro Updater for you guys, which should make the process of selectively downloading the devkitPro team's toolchains and programming tools a lot easier and, hopefully, more bug-free.

The app lets you download the latest versions of their different toolchains for the PSP and DS, as well as some other DKP releases. Best of all, you're free to pick and choose what you need, so PSP users won't have to go downloading all 170-something MB if they want to try devkitPSP 9, and neither will DS users when they want to grab devkitARM.

As the devkitPro team state on their website:

devkitPro Updater 1.4.2 has been rebuilt with the latest NSIS 2.23 and a more recent version of the inetc plugin used for downloading files. This should be more stable and hopefully remove the installer crashes some people have been experiencing.

That being said, it's an easy-to-use interface, and veterans who've been using their toolchains shouldn't have any problems getting the latest updates through it. Enjoy!

devkitPro has released another bugfix for the popular homebrew development kit for your DS.  This application is a compiler and SDK for DS, PSP, GBA and Game Cube.

Here's a rundown of what's new in the latest release of devkitARM:

This release fixes the malloc problems with GBA code. The elf2flt code has now been removed due to user issues and the minor fact that it no longer works with an arm-eabi target. Some minor fixes have been made in the newlib stdio patches.
