Assunto : RE: newbie

LegOS is an operation system ( a firmware replacement in itself)
It's like a mini UNIX system, that will run true C compiled • programs on RCX.

NQC on the other hand, all it does is translate a NQC program into • LEGO
pCode that will be *interpreted* by RCX's standard firmware (you • could call
it "compile" but not in the same way as traditional compilation is
understood)

So, NQC deals with generating pseudo-compiled programs to be run
(interpreted) on LEGO standard firmware using the same pCodes all • LEGO
software uses to command the RCX.

LegOS is an OS that runs true compiled into machine-code and it's
incompatible (doesn't understand nor tries to interpret) with • standard LEGO
firmware.

I don't know if there would be enough RAM to make a "standard pCode"
interpreter emulator, running under LegOS, but would be a nice idea • for
people that would like to use LegOS power but now and then need to • run some
standard firmware programs ;)

mc.

PS: I'm not a LegOS user.

  Hi everybody,

  I'm starting to use Lego products and I'm having problems to
undrestand a few things. For example, I want to use NQC and I • don't
understand why the LegOS needs a C cross-compiler... or by having
LegOS I don't need NQC?

If you decide to use LegOS you won't be needing nor will you have the chance to use NQC because a RCX with LegOS loaded won't understand nor respond to any standard firmware commands.
