J.J.,

The whole intent of the Net Yaroze package is to be an inexpensive
system for hobbiest development. Support needs to be kept to a minimum
to keep costs low. Because of this, Net Yaroze is a library-based
development system and does not include the low-level programming
support. Board and chip level support is provided to developers in
Sony's commercial licensing program.
