Setting up a Windows development environment
NB: this guide is part of the information about the balancing robot information. Please refer to that for
the other components.
Rather than repeating the installation
instructions from the Lejos-OSEK homepage, I'll just add a few
comments here about how we installed everything.
We installed the following software, following the instructions in the link above:
Cygwin, as described in the instructions. I usually also install
wget (for quickly fetching files from the net) and rxvt (as a better
shell replacement than the default cygwin shell).
GNU ARM compiler. Make sure you follow the instructions about
not installing Cygwin DLLs or floating point unit/libraries.
The standard software that Lego provides. It gives us a nice and
easy way of installing the standard Lego firmware, and also takes care
of installing the NXT drivers for Windows.
John Hansen NeXTTool for uploading firmware to the device.
LibUSB.
The nxtOSEK/Lejos-OSEK source code.
The source code for the balancing robot is in samples/nxtway_gs.
