I'm not familiar with the Agenda, but if you have a gcc compiler for it,
several hundred K of heap space, and basic file I/O, then the port of
NQC itself generally comes down to one thing: serial interface class
(platform/PSerial_xxx.cpp).
For that, if it is a basic Unix style interface, then the existing
serial class should work fine (perhaps just tweak the Makefile to point
at the correct default device name). Otherwise, you'll need to write
your own implementation of the PSerial class. This is almost trivial if
you already know the OS calls for serial access...you just have to
supply the appropriate wrapper functions for open,close,read,write,etc.

I searched through the archives and found Joel asking about a GUI for NQC, but there (...) (24 years ago, 21-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
