Is there already any porting of Astrobe to the Arduino Due board (Cortex M3)?
If not, which are the main steps to do such porting?

Re: Arduino Due
Assumimg:
how much work you would have to do to get Astrobe executables working on the Arduino Due depends very much on which peripheral devices you want to use. As a minimum you would need to implement Main (OSC/Clock Control), GPIO / pin configuration, Serial (UART), and Timers to run the general examples. That typically is a total of ~500 lines of device-specific code.
SPI is usually the next (~200 lines) to do and I2C is the trickiest (~350 lines).
The generic library modules (Convert, FPU, Graphics, In, Out, Math, Random, Reals, ResData, Storage, Strings and Traps) should work without any modification.
- you have access to software to upload a Cortex-M3 'bin' executable file to the board
- the memory map can be defined using Astrobe's configuration options

Re: Arduino Due
Thanks. I think that the bossac utility should be the tool for uploading compiled images.
Will try to follow your hints.
