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 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.

Instructions for setting up the system are available at the devkitPro website.

devkitPPC also comes with example source code documents that can be used to base one's project off of. These include examples in audio, graphics, and adding a GUI to a homebrew app.

For Windows users it comes with the MSYS environment, which is a minimal set of GNU tools such as a shell.

Ported libraries

The following libraries are available for download from devkitPro pacman, precompiled for use with devkitPPC.

Expat - XML parser library
FreeType - TTF/Type1 font support
libjpeg - JPEG support library
libpng - PNG support library
Mini-XML - XML library
libtremor - An integer-only fully Vorbis compliant software decoder library
zlib - ZIP compression/decompression library

Tools

The following tools are included as well:

doltool - a tool for converting to and from .dol executable files and examining their contents
gcdspsuite - an assembler for the gamecube DSP chip written by duddie.
wiiload - a utility for uploading code to the wii written by Dhewg.
gxtexconv - a utility for texture conversion written by Shagkur.
Gcube - a gamecube only emulator for desktop

-'''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 [[Getting_Started_with_devkitppc|Windows]], [[Getting_started_with_DevkitPPC_on_Mac_OS_X|Mac OSX]] and [[Getting_started_with_DevkitPPC_on_Linux|Linux]].

-===libogc===
+=== Ported libraries ===
-libogc is a collection of libraries for the GameCube and Wii.  This collection of libraries was originally written by '''''shagkur''''' for the GameCube and has been developed over the past 6 years.<br>
-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
-Information on many of these sub-systems can be found in [[YAGCD]].
