  Re: dont't fear the reaper
 
(...) Actually, I'm using 0.2.4, last downloadable version. With this, the memory eating problem is solved with my stated patch. Might be, that the new version has the tm.c changes? (I just press "run" to stop my program, then "run" to start it (...) (24 years ago, 1-Aug-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Mindstorms firmware
 
(...) No idea why that wouldn't work, it always has for me. I hold down prgm and as soon as I hit on/off, there's a little beep and the thing shuts off. When I turn it back on, it's back to the regular stuff. Of course, you can always try taking out (...) (24 years ago, 1-Aug-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Mindstorms firmware
 
OK... Really DUMB question but I have to give my borrowed RCX back and buy my own so I went to remove legOS from my mates RCX to give it back and guess what... it won't go! :( I looked in the HOWTO and it says hold down Prgm and press the on.off (...)

  Re: DJGPP firmdl
 
Try setting the environment variable RCXTTY (or RCX_TTY, I'm not sure) to your device name (e.g. RCXTTY=/dev/ttyS1; export RCXTTY). (...) (24 years ago, 1-Aug-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  DJGPP firmdl
 
I've been able to build all the tools under DJGPP, unfortunately, firmdl3.exe doesn't accept anything as a valid serial port name. I've tried "com1", "/dev/com1", /dev/ttyS0", etc, but nothing works. The message is either "not a tty" or "no such (...) (24 years ago, 1-Aug-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: questions, comments, and suggestions
 
(...) RCX_COMPILER is an internal gcc/egcs define, when patched correctly to support RCX interrupts. This is still used and useful, as it saves only the required registers, unlike the HANDLER_WRAPPER macro, which saves all volatile registers. (...) (...)

  Re: dont't fear the reaper
 
(...) This change is correct, although it will not work by itself. Using only this all memory will be freed when the RCX is powered off, including program memory. To work correctly another change to tm.c is necessary, so memory allocated by kernel (...) (24 years ago, 1-Aug-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  dont't fear the reaper
 
I've tried to test the maximum memory allocation possible in legOS. For that, I wrote the following test program: #include <conio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main( int argc, char **argv ) { int i; char *cp; i = 1; while( ( cp = (...)
