  Re: Recommended change to MAKEFILE
 
(...) Martin, Rossz, you guys both now are registered and have CVS write access. Be aware that sourceforge changes those things with a cron job that runs every six hours or so, so it may be a few hours before you /actually/ have write access. Enjoy (...)

  Recommended change to MAKEFILE
 
Currently, legOS uses this in the makefile: # for the kernel .depend makedepend $(LEGOS_ROOT)kernel/*.c -Y $(CINC) -f- | $(FIXDEPS) $(LEGOS_ROOT)kernel/ > .depend # for a typical program .depend: makedepend *.c -Y $(CINC) -f- | $(FIXDEPS) (...)

  Replacement for IR Tower
 
Is there anyone who has successfully replaced the Lego IR Tower with another IR device to communicate with the RCX? I'm thinking about putting my old Apple Newton back to use ;-) (25 years ago, 2-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Windows/DOS Cross-Compiler - Finally!
 
After two months of struggling, I have finally been able to build a complete set of h8/300 cross compiler tools that work natively in a Window's DOS box. So what does this mean? If you don't run Windows 9x/NT/2k, absolutely nothing. What this means (...) (25 years ago, 2-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  malloc() bug found -- BAD MEMORY REGION :-(
 
It looks like it's not a bug in legOS, but in the RCX hardware: Memory from 0xfb80 to 0xfd7f is simply NOT WRITEABLE, or more exactly, always read as 0xff, at least on my RCX ! Try the following little test: // // memory test // #include <conio.h> (...) (25 years ago, 1-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Thanks for your help. I was also wondering if there is a way to have the motor turn off at any time in the program when the touch sensor is pushed, rather than having to re type the until statements a bunch of times. would I have to use a task for (...)

  malloc() bug haunt: getting closer..
 
Yesterday evening i found something, that might be the reason for some of the crashes reported lately: The chain of memory blocks used by malloc() has a broken entry, say: the reserved block at 0xfd7c has a length word of 0xfffe.
