That's the part we cannot provide unfortunately. There is sadly no toolchain that can produce a MacOS PEF binary other than hosted in MacOS itself. In fact I don't think Apple XCode can either, which leaves us with CodeWarrior (commercial) or MPW (which I think at some point became free but I didn't find it and it doesn't work on OS X afaik). So we'll have to stick to the images I build for now at least though the git repo does have the .xml CW project fie.=C2=A0 Cheers, Ben.
