Thanks to the success of Vinu Rajashekhar's Google Summer of Code project, we are pleased to announce that there is now support for the Go programming language, a new systems language, for RTEMS. Vinu successfully ported GCC Go to RTEMS. This is the first cross and first embedded systems port of Go. The port is passing all of the Go tests in its GCC testsuite.

The instructions for building and other information on the port can be found in the RTEMS Wiki at GCCGORTEMS. Now people can experiment with Go on real-time, embedded systems !

Thanks to Ian Lance Taylor from the Go project for mentoring this. Joel Sherrill provided backup from the RTEMS side.
