Introducing Gabrielle - Xena's companion

I’ve had this project ongoing for years now, and now I finally managed to get something working. Meet Gabrielle — the friend of Xena!

Gabrielle is a script that’ll let you use a remote server to compile your .xc Xena sourcefiles. So now it’s way easier to at least try to do something with Xena.

I’ve tested it on my X1000, but I would love to hear from you X5000 owners!

Read more and get the archive, with some examples and a handy test console at my blog: https://jaokim.github.io/amiga/2025/10 ... ntroducing-gabrielle.html

And needless to say — I’m not responsible if you break your amiga using this software.

@jaokim

it looks like great application. Thanks!
Do somebody know some tutorial for Xena?
Any howto which helps with basic steps on AmigaOne? I.e. howto send data between Xena, CPU and peripherals, etc..

I’ve been trailing the webs for stuff like that. There’s Lyle's buffer example on the AmigaOS wiki, and I also found some posts in the Hyperion forums with more info. I’ve been thinking of trying to summarise that info into something, we’ll see if I ever get to it.

But in general on the X1000 it seems the local bus have some severe limitations. But there are ways to send data to the chip in a slow way using the jtag. But hopefully being able to compile on the amiga will make it less awkward to test things out.
Also, there are some old Xmos resources for our chip that explains the basics. So those are rather good.
