  Re: RCX "locking up" when trying to use dll
 
(...) I built the H8/300 binutils-2.9.1 and gcc-2.95.2 and compiled the legOS kernel and it was locking up when downloading programs. People here said get egcs-1.1.2 -- it works! So I built egcs-1.1.2 and cd'd to legOS/boot, make clean/make and the (...) (25 years ago, 11-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: RCX "locking up" when trying to use dll
 
(...) Actually I won't, since I just read memcpy.c and I see it's an __asm__ macro. I don't know if that's a valid __asm__ or not. In this case, if it's causing legOS pain, memcpy.c should just be replaced by memcpy.s with the correct assembly (...) (25 years ago, 11-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  legOS is really neat!
 
I can't build my own legOS kernel, but I can build .lx files and load them with dll without any problem! It's really liberating to have REAL functions and a REAL C implementation to work with.

  GPS for RCX
 
The standard RCX firmware with its serial protocol could not talk to a GPS, but LegOS could. With LegOS and a GPS we could make robots that could tell where they were. This would be way cool.
