"There are SDCARD_bmwtcu.rom and SDCARD.rom, what are the differences? What means
"as a foundation bespoke for bmwtcu"?"

The FPGA I was using in the Gametron handheld has a limited amount of block RAM and cannot fit the whole 64kx16 SDROM image. at67 was kind enough to strip out all the Apps for me and created an image that only has the SD card browser as seen in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8e-uxF432BU . You can ignore it and just use the full SDROM image linked in at67's post https://forum.gigatron.io/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=279

I am not sure what you want to achieve.

The gigatron lcc repository is at https://github.com/lb3361/gigatron-lcc. I do not know what 'gigatron-lcc-master.zip' is. The normal way to obtain the GLCC source is to use the command "git clone https://github.com/lb3361/gigatron-lcc.git". You need "git", obviously. Then, compiling GLCC under linux is just a matter of typing "make". Compiling on Windows is a lot more involved. The README file in the repository describes a couple ways to do so. You can also see https://forum.gigatron.io/viewtopic.php?p=2484#p2484 where you can find pre-compiled binaries for version 1.3 and 1.4. If you just want to try GLCC, this is the way to go.

If you point to https://github.com/lb3361/gigatron-lcc using a browser, go to the green button that says "Code" and click it, appears an option "Download ZIP", by clicking this option you get the file gigatron-lcc-master.zip I have compiled it successfully under Windows using MSYS2, problem is that the glccver.py file generated is empty, then fill it with GLCC_RELEASE_1.4-3-gf8c3d76 for example, but would like to know where "git clone https://github.com/lb3361/gigatron-lcc.git" gets the string GLCC_RELEASE_1.4.... to fill myself manually the file glccver.py every time a new version of glcc is out. Another option would be including the release version inside some of the .h include files of the source code of glcc.
