  Serial Input
 
I have a question. I'm working with LegOS, and I want to know how to read serial input through the IR port. I know with other firmware, it's pretty easy to set-up and write serial data out, but I want to read this data back in. Actually, I'm trying (...)

  Starting Over
 
Hello, According to John Hansens' instructions, I am assuming you do not need to download the bin-utils as called out in the original sourceforge instructions. Is this correct? Thanks again for the help. Here goes. Rick Bonari (22 years ago, 11-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Strip Command
 
Hello, When I do a uname command, I get CYGWIN_98-4.10. It definitely appears that makefile.common has some problems with paths, etc. When I type the command: strip fontdesign.exe dll.exe makelx.exe fixdeps.exe genlds.exe firmdl3.exe as I mentioned (...)

  BrickOS issues
 
First off, I'd like to say that I had ZERO problems installing, building, and testing BrickOS on my PC. That's even with the BrickOS name change release and the pre-built Hitachi tools. You guys do good work! There are a few issues I have come (...) (22 years ago, 11-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Re: Cygwin/Gcc/Legos-0.2.6 Installation
 
Rick, I have never used 'make strip' and have been using legOS/BrickOS for quite some time now. So, if it doesn't work, that should not stop you from continuing. However, with BrickOS, the make strip command now executes 'strip fontdesign.exe (...) (22 years ago, 10-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Re: Gcc Problems
 
Rick, It sounds as if you have gcc working, however, the version of objcopy that you copied from another folder is incompatible with the hitachi h8 version of gcc. You need to have a special version of objcopy that is designed for the h8 (the RCX). (...) (22 years ago, 9-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Re: Gcc Problems
 
Some versions of the gcc executables are named h8300-hms-*.exe (ex: h8300-hms-gcc.exe) The Makefile.common, as you pointed out expects h8300-hitachi-hms-*.exe If this is what you are experiencing, then you have two options: 1) make copies of them, (...)

  Gcc Problems
 
Hello, I looked at the Makefile.common file and there is a line that goes as follows: TOOLPREFIX=$(HMSTOOL...tachi-hms- Could this be where my problem lies according to what I said in the previous post earlier today? Thanks Much, Rick Bonari (22 years ago, 9-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
