I can now announce the availability of pbLua Beta 1
at:
http://www.hempeldesigngroup.com/lego/pbLua
This is an implementation of Lua 5.1 for the NXT, and you
communicate with it via the USB port.

This is a fantastic development! Not too long ago, I was involved in Sony PSP
hacking. Although the GCC toolchain was relatively easy to build, and lots of
sample code was around for writing C++ programs for the PSP, the rate of new
software releases literally exploded when a Lua port became available for the
platform. I predict that this will very quickly become the most popular
alternative programming language for the NXT.

pbLua was compiled on a custom GCC toolcahin, which I
will be releasing the build procedure for in the next few weeks.
It allows code to be debugged using GDB over the serial
port and does NOT require you to open the NXT and add a
JTAG port!
|
I am looking forward to this, as well. Thanks in advance for sharing what
you’ve learned about configuring these tools!
| |
Cheers, and let the pbLua coding begin.
