Task: Loading Generated C Programs onto TexBot

Owner: Emily Fortuna

Goal

Currently, RIDL generates C programs that can in principle be compiled and uploaded to the Lego Mindostorm. The goal of this task is to make sure that this task is done automatically and correctly.

Administrivia

1. Getting an account on the CS network (talking to BJ, Lena, or Darnell. There'll be a form for me to sign)
2. Getting an account on (or "register for") the wiki.
3. Make a CVS directory for your work (after getting account on CS).

Work Plan

1. Read Michael Dyrby's documentation on using the cross-compiler. It will be useful to put this online as a pdf document, in addition to keeping the tex source around.
2. Downloading RIDL and getting it to generate some example C programs.
3. Getting some such C programs to download onto the Lego Mindstorm (by hand)
4. Doing the above automatically.

Done

1. Michael Dyrby's documentation as a pdf.
2. Built the H8300 gcc cross compiler from scratch.
3. Edited and posted report on Building the H8300 gcc cross compiler from scratch on Linux
4. Edited and posted RCX Robot tasks report
5. Semester Report 1. EmilyFortunaTexBotSemesterReportSpring2006

The Next Step

1. Learning more about C.
2. Writing C programs for the compiler and such.
