Thanks for trying: You need just to look at the NXTGCC project. You should
probably be able to start by reading nxt.pdf at
http://nxtgcc.sourceforge.net/
and then install
either the winarm or http://www.gnuarm.com/ toolchains.
Finally download the zip file from
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=190694
and see if you can compile the ARM source.
When you have that working then you can start stripping the files and make your
preferred operating system take over NXT.
Good luck.
