  Re: Editing Makefile (adding comman line arguements)
 
(...) Mike, You might start off by checking the manual for GNU Make at (URL) just look within the various makefiles within the brickOS code. Try Makefile.commom at brickOS root. Ed (21 years ago, 7-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

By the way, people who have a CD-booting Windows-compatible PC have free Linux too, via a boot CD that works without repartitioning (or even writing) the boot HDD: (URL) I think I specifically remember seeing rcx serial port tools work there, (...)

  Editing Makefile (adding comman line arguements)
 
I am trying to edit Makefile in the main brickos dir so that I can access the arguements on the command line when I enter "make _____" to compile the directory. I need to do so because I need to have a certain command execute when the arguements are (...) (21 years ago, 6-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: My problems with adding a Best Fit algorithm for memory management to kernel/mm.c
 
(...) Yeah, very true. Those lines where in there becuase of the error I originally had in my code, but since my code changed (and is correct) those lines are not needed). Thanks Mike (21 years ago, 6-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: NQC's future
 
(...) I think you are the victim of too much snippage... :-) If you reread the original message, there is indeed mention of adding various Spybot related features but the "non-standard firmware support" was in reference to NQC in general. I assume (...) (21 years ago, 6-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
 
  Re: My problems with adding a Best Fit algorithm for memory management to kernel/mm.c
 
(...) BTW, you can delete these two lines of intialization (i.e. lines 12 & 15 in the above function) as the intialized value gets clobbered on finding the first suitable sized block: 12) mm_best_free=ptr; 15) mm_best_free++; //this must point to (...)

  Re: Complete instructions for Linux?
 
(...) Rich, Those patches were created for optimizing some legOS code. I believe it was some interupt code. The legOS code and brickOS code have internal work arounds. I have some emails concerning this somewhere. But you don't need these patches (...) (21 years ago, 6-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Nevermind, I figured out the error after I posted and reviewed my code again. Thanks anyway... (21 years ago, 6-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  My problems with adding a Best Fit algorithm for memory management to kernel/mm.c
 
Well, my senior project is almost due (Monday) and I am having problems with one of the last algorithms to be added. My senior project is adding the 3 other algorithms to the memory management facitlity (mm.c), the algorithsm are best, worst, and (...) (21 years ago, 6-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Complete instructions for Linux?
 
Is there a complete instruction for installing BrickOS on Linux? I'm particularly interested in details involving creating a cross-compiler and getting the USB tower to work.

Hi Dietmar, (...) Of course :-) Ciao, Guido (21 years ago, 3-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Strange BrickOS Timing
 
Hi Guido, (...) That patch referes to an older transfer-protocol. The one we are using now, does not need SUCH a stable timing. But the Output from BrickOS is a lot worse than it was in older versions. I thing Gunther can explain this better, but I (...) (21 years ago, 3-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Hi Gunther, (...) have (...) After some investigation I found this page on YOUR site: (URL) YOU state: Using Lepomux requires a stable timing on the motor port because it is used as a serial data port. Since brickOS does a lot of stuff (...) (21 years ago, 3-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
