'''devkitPro''' is a project that produces toolchains for homebrew development which target several popular consoles including Game Boy Advance, DS, and GP32 (devkitARM); PlayStation Portable (PSP) (devkitPSP); and GameCube and Wii (devkitPPC). Instructions for setting up the system are available for [[Devkitppc_setup_(Windows)|Windows]], [[Devkitppc_setup_(Mac OS X)|Mac OSX]] and [[Devkitppc_setup_(Linux)|Linux]]. Additional information and download links can be found at the [http://www.devkitpro.org/ devkitPro website].
+
'''devkitPPC''' is a port of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) and includes a C (gcc) and C++ compiler (g++), a debugger (gdb) and associated utilities, with the architecture "powerpc-eabi". It also includes standard C libraries based on [http://sourceware.org/newlib newlib], which is specifically designed for embedded systems. Compilers and libraries are also included for the MN10200, the Matsushita (Panasonic) chip used in the Wii DVD controller. It is designed to be used in conjunction with [[libogc]], a collection of Wii-specific low-level libraries.

It includes the following low-level wii/gamecube specific sub-systems:
  −
*ARAM
  −
*AUDIO
  −
*EXI - Support routines for the system bus which connects many internal devices to the CPU
  −
*IRQ - Hardware Interrupts
  −
*DSP
  −
*DVD
  −
*GX
  −
*VIDEO
  −
*Cache
  −
*Memory Card
  −
*Console
  −
*Threads
  −
**Messages
  −
**Mutexes
  −
**Semaphores
  −
**Condition Variables
