  legOS 0.2.6 installation problems - a better way?
 
I have been trying Set up LegOS for some time now. My first attempt using winlegOS was installed but I then found out then that it could not communicate via my usb tower. I then decided to go for the full installation of Cygwin and legos0.2.6 and (...) (22 years ago, 28-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Polling sensor values with wait_event
 
Thomas, I had a thought about this situation. You could write a function that sets a flag when the event is triggered, do nothing otherwise. You could call this function from within each of the tasks you write (at a somewhat high frequency ... say (...) (22 years ago, 28-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Marko, <snip> (...) You can simply decompress the files from the archive at: (URL) are already built and nearly ready to use. Once they are decompressed, I believe you just run the BrickOS configure script; then you should be ready to go. // Joe (22 years ago, 28-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: problem building gcc for brickOS-02.6.09 installation under windows xp
 
Hello John, thanks for your help. I have found the link and I will reinstall cygwin. Since I am a 'beginner' here, are there any guidelines for me how to work with the prebuild binaries? As I say, I have no unix experiences and would need to know (...) (22 years ago, 27-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: problem building gcc for brickOS-02.6.09 installation under windows xp
 
(...) Your cygwin installation is not working correctly. You shouldn't be experiencing any instabality as a result of running cygwin & unix commands. I would uninstall cygwin and try reinstalling it. And then I would not try to build the gcc cross (...) (22 years ago, 27-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Cygwin under Virtual PC on OS X
 
Having no luck getting BrickOS and the cross compiler package to build under Mac OS X 10.2.2, I thought I'd try moving my previously working djgpp directories and LegOS 0.2.4 directories to a Virtual PC DOS session...only to remember that djgpp (...)

  problem building gcc for brickOS-02.6.09 installation under windows xp
 
I am trying to install brickOS-02.6.09 under Windows XP using the latest instructions (version 1.2, 19.09.02). When building the gcc compiler I get the attached errors. Afterwards I notice that I constantly get 'permission denied' when I type any (...) (22 years ago, 27-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Polling sensor values with wait_event
 
Hi Joe, Thanks for your reply, I guess that is the solution to use in this case. I'll still just get values every 20ms. By changing the timeslice I could have this go a bit faster though. Thomas (22 years ago, 27-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Polling sensor values with wait_event
 
Thomas, You are mostly correct. However, keep in mind that tasks with the same priority get checked in turn. The first task in the priority chain does not get undo precedence over the others in the same priority level. Example: Tasks A, B and C all (...)

  Polling sensor values with wait_event
 
Hello all, Is it true that the wakeup function is only checked once every timeslice and only for the process that has the highest priority and is at the front of the priority chain?

I spend the weekend fighting with the install for BrickOS, and I got both these errors (makedepend & font...) because at some point in my messing, I skipped the makedepend and went on.

  Re: Installing BrickOS 0.2.6.09.newConf2
 
(...) Unfortunately, that won't fix the bug because later on it says: CFLAGS=-O2 -Wall which will ignore the existing value of CFLAGS. The best fix for cygwin and newConf2 is to change the line in the ifdef BUILDING_HOST_UTILS section to be (...) (22 years ago, 25-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Re: C Compiler for Windows 98
 
(...) Your compiler isn't the problem. The .o file is being generated by the compiler. Either the makefile is bad or makelx is barfing. Sorry if I can't help more, since I use Linux. Use cygwin - I think it's www.cygwin.com. (22 years ago, 24-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: C Compiler for Windows 98
