All of the downloads here are covered by the GNU Public Licence. There are no copyright or commercial ROM images here.
A lot of the N64 stuff is derived from the work of Anarko, Tom Whittock, Lac, and Crazy Nation. The linux-mips bits are derived from the SGI groups stuff. Thanks guys!
All of the development tools are packaged as RPM files. Install all of the RPM files here with rpm -i (the source RPMs are optional). Some of the packages rely on others being installed, so the recommended order is binutils,egcs,egcs c++, egcs c++ lib, newlib, libn64, libjpeg, n64tools, but you can tell rpm to ignore dependencies and install in any order. man rpm if you are unfamiliar with RPM packages.
The N64 sources are gzipped tarballs, so tar-zxvf them. The JPEG Viewer and n64lib will build straight away, just cd jpegview; make and likewise for libn64. make send to transfer the rom, make disassemble|less to have a look at it.
The sources are really simple and small, and have lots of comments to explain stuff. Check them out, they're only a couple of k or so.

code.
EGCS 2.91.66 - x86 Linux
RPM, Source
The egcs package contains the GNU Compiler Collection: cc, gcc and egcs. You'll
need this package in order to compile C/C++ code.

stuff.
Libjpeg 6b - RPM,
Source
The libjpeg package contains a library of functions for manipulating JPEG
images.
Libn64 0.1 - RPM, Source
A development library for the Nintendo 64. It provides low level functions
for development and debugging, as well as high level stuff like drawing sprites
and jpeg decoding between buffers. Try it out, hack it, code it, add opengl,
mod/mp3 playing, hardware graphic acceleration and anything else you can think
of!

Examples of Released Articles
GDB 4.18
This compiles for mips, but needs a GDB stub for the N64. I intend to hack
up the one used in Pmon, the <1k one, Pmon itself is too big (>400k). This would
also be incredibly useful for debugging commercial roms, you can trace, single
step, set breakpoints and watchpoints, disassemble etc. Theres a 3D model extractor
for linux around (its not open source, just a binary, ouch) that doesn't work
too well because most ROMs are compressed. With a debugger you could dump all
the 3D models from a running ROM...
Linux Kernel 2.3.99-pre3
With a bit of hacking it will compile.. but need to add some extra stuff to
the kernel to handle the n64 hardware, set up a framebuffer, etc. examples in
arch/mips/*. To try compiling, do:
make ARCH=mips CROSS_COMPILE=mips-linux- config
It will ask for the configuration, select CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y, cpu=R4300,
little endian=n,compress_rom_fs=y,everthing else set to no
Then: make ARCH=mips CROSS_COMPILE=mips-linux- clean dep zImage
GLibc 2.0 & 2.1
glibc 2.0 reports the linux headers are out of date (?). 2.1 dies building the
MIPS sysdep.S file.
