I don't even OWN a Yaris and I'll chip in with the hopes y'all might help me with my Toyota ;)

Absolutely tgui, we love all Toyotas here.

Although asking for donations is a great idea, I think $20 is a bit of a stretch.

Considering the number of group guys that fall through due to lack of payment... one shouldn't expect money to start pouring in magically from this forum.

I would expect people to donate anywhere from $5 to $10, that seems more realistic.

Even Hellion told me to ask Garm to front for it.

First I heard about it. Funny.

The processor is a NEC uPD70F3155. It is a semi-custom version of the V850 series of 32 bit microcontrollers. That's all that I could get out of NEC about it. It is has 208 pins, but it is programmed by the 16 pin JTAG header.
