  Remote Message Buttons
 
Hello, Anyone had problems getting the message 1,2,3 buttons working with brickOS? All other remote buttons are working. I am using v0.2.6.10. I looked through the kernel and includes, it looks like in lr_process(), the lr_keys gets checked vs. (...) (21 years ago, 8-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: failure in communicaton between RCX & IR Tower
 
Just to verify the verdict... yes, it did work with w2kpro installed on this laptop. One note is that w2k vanilla does not support wireless 802.1g device, which is what comes with this toshiba satellite p25. It requires service pack 4. -- emabrey (21 years ago, 8-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
 
  Re: My problems with adding a Best Fit algorithm for memory management to kernel/mm.c
 
(...) Yes, your summary is correct. Good luck with the rest of your project, Mark (21 years ago, 7-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: My problems with adding a Best Fit algorithm for memory management to kernel/mm.c
 
(...) Mark, Thanks again thanks for the reply. Yes, my main comcern is that the OS tasks move around only after the first power off & on, no time else. And also it was just a typo, the blocks are in order I was looking at the wrong copy of my layout (...) (21 years ago, 7-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: My problems with adding a Best Fit algorithm for memory management to kernel/mm.c
 
(...) So, if I understand you correctly, your concern is that the OS tasks move around the first time you power off & on, but not anytime thereafter? Assuming this to be the case, then: 1) When you first download BrickOS, there is a large chunk of (...) (21 years ago, 7-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Re: My problems with adding a Best Fit algorithm for memory management to kernel/mm.c
 
(...) Hi Mike, It would be helpful to see each of the memory block dumps and some notation as to what actions you took between each dump (i.e. RCX on/off, program downloaded, etc...) Mark (21 years ago, 7-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: My problems with adding a Best Fit algorithm for memory management to kernel/mm.c
 
Well, I have another problem - this time with Worst Fit. It may be becuase I have been looking at this code for so much time over the past few months, but I have encountered this problem with my implementation and my mind is boggled (as well as (...)

  Re: Editing Makefile (adding comman line arguements)

  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)

  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.

  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)

(...) 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?

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)
