Not at the moment. I would like to be able to do that, but I wasn't sure what would be involved in moving over to the full embedded compiler target. The Nordic Semiconductor platform has firmware to support its RF/Bluetooth hardware which has to be flashed independently and then I think the linker then targets a different address for the program depending upon configuration. Until I properly understand this process I did not want to step too far from the supported GCC mechanism. > I hope what I wrote helps a little and does not bore too much, Not at all, thank you for sharing your insights.
