  New Threading Model in legOS 0.2.5
 
Hi In our diploma work we implemented a completely new threading model. We implemented a subset of the pthreads API as it is available in Linux. Now eventhandling has also been improved. One negative point: we did not yet adabt dynamic program (...) (22 years ago, 7-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Installation Help!
 
(...) ... (...) I have built the h8300 cross compilers many times now. It was hard at first, but now I've nailed down the correct set of options, I have no problems.

  Re: brickOS and latest binutils
 
(...) The $-sign before symbol addresses was accidentaly removed when that bit of code was re-written to fix a different bug. It's now back. (...) Not really. I may have overstated that.

  Motor LCD arrows bug
 
In BrickOS 0.2.6.08, there's a minor bug where the LCD arrows misbehave when the motor direction is set to brake. I believe the intention is to turn both direction arrows on when the output is in the brake state. However, what happens is that only (...) (22 years ago, 4-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  brickOS and latest binutils (1 issue now fixed in binutils CVS, and workaround patch to brickOS for the other)
 
The "invalid symbolsrec file" issue (error from makelx) issue is now fixed in binutils CVS, both on the trunk, and on the 2.13 branch - so the next release of binutils, be it 2.13.2 or 2.14 will have this fixed. The "ld segmentation fault" issue is (...) (22 years ago, 4-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Re: C Compiler for Windows 98
 
One thing I can tell you is that you need to add c:\cygwin\bin to your path (autoexec.bat) Also, when you try to download a program, instead of just using util/dll try ./util/dll I'm sure John will have other suggestions. You really need to get (...) (22 years ago, 2-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: C Compiler for Windows 98
 
Thanks for the help! Sorry, but I have been out of town for Turkey Day and haven't had a chance to give it a try.

  Re: Motor Control Register (0xf000) and Memory Space 0xFDB0-0xFD7F
 
This note is of interest to people who build their own RCX firmware. It provides some additiional insight to the recent post concerning dual use of upper memory range and the motor control register.

  Linker crashing
 
I recently built binutils 2.13 for h8300-hitachi-hms target (default configuration otherwise) under Mandrake-Linux 9.0.

  Suggestion: Provide precompiled Cygwin h8300 gcc+binutils, downloadable via Cygwin setup.
 
Compiling your own compiler is undoubtably the hardest barrier of entry to brickos. I suggest that the h8300 binutils and gcc be distributed as Cygwin packages from the brickos website. This would simplify the install to merely running Cygwin setup, (...) (22 years ago, 30-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
