Correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that this would build
the BrickOS kernel and tools only. If you look at my original post,
you'll see that I'm specifically interested in instructions for
creating the cross-compiler and making the USB tower work (both of
which, as I understand it, are NOT included in the BrickOS download).

| (...) Rich, Those patches were created for optimizing some legOS code. I believe it was some interupt code. The legOS code and brickOS code have internal work arounds. I have some emails concerning this somewhere. But you don't need these patches (...) (21 years ago, 6-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
