Hi,
I just stumbled on this newsgroup/website while searching for kits for teaching
Assembly Language programming to undergraduate students in Comp. Science in an
interesting (interactive) manner. I'm primarily interested in the ARM
instruction set. I'd prefer the use of Linux as the host OS, if possible.
I haven't used the Mindstorms/NXT before, though I've heard about them. I've
tried to scan through lugnet.robotics.nxt.* and what I've gathered is that the
NXT implements a VM using bytecodes (i.e., NBC) as its default assembly
programming environment. Some free (as in beer) toolchains are available, based
on GNU gcc and friends.
What I'd like to know is whether it is practical to do raw ARM assembly language
programming on the NXT, or is it going to be an involved process. In addition,
are there any other free (beer) ARM assemblers that can be used on the NXT, I
feel that the GNU as assembler is rather complicated to use for hand-written
assembly.
I'm also interested in finding out if there are 802.15.4 (Zigbee) modules for
the Mindstorms.
TIA,
T.C.
