Hi Matthias,
I don't think the lejos linux 2.1.0 version could be described as
working. Jurgen Stuber said the following in response to me posting a
query re: running lejos2.1.0 on ubuntu 2.6.12-9-386 (ie. a recent kernel):-
"Your version of Lejos is too old for the driver in Linux 2.6,
you should instead try the CVS version. It should work, tell us if it
doesn't and we'll fix it."
Admittedly I was a bit lazy and used your compiled lejos 3.0 binaries
instead of the CVS version, which I am assuming are very similar. That
fixed the firmware download, but I still couldn't download any
executables to the RCX.
I'm not sure what is happening with the winxp installation either. With
lejos2.1.0 I can download the firmware to the RCX, but again cannot
download any executables.
I think my problem may lie with the RCX itself. As far as I can tell it
is RIS2.0. However I bought it brand new very recently (say 3 months
ago). Do you think it is possible that the RCX box has changed recently?
i.e. Your RCX is different from mine? Suse 9.2 is also a 2.6 kernel and
you say the latest lejos is working?!?, but presumably you have owned
your lego brick for ages. Would this explain why the firmware won't
accept any downloads?
Maybe I will try with your latest windows version, but if that doesn't
work I don't see any obvious ways of progressing.

ps I have used the RCX with the bundled windows software, which does
allow me to download programs, so my RCX isn't broken.

Hallo David,
thanks for trying.
As for windows, I have uploaded an enhanced M2 version to
http://www.matthias-paul-scholz.homepage.t-online.de/lejos/
that passes the integration tests and works fine for me on my Windows XP
installation.
However, if you get an error for the windows lejos 2.1.0 version yet,
there seems to be something more profound amiss with lejos on your
Windws XP partition - for this release is known to be working well there
as a rule; hence before trying to get the leJOS 3 beta running it may be
advisable to do so for the 2.1.0 one.
The Linux M1 version works fine for me on two different SuSE 9.2
installations - here the same might apply as said above: the linux 2.1.0
lejos release is known to be working as well.
Regards,
Matthias

Hi Matthias,
I attempted to use your lejos3.0 release binaries this weekend.
Unfortunately I did not have a great success.
On windows the firmware download failed (I don't have the exact output
to hand unfortunately). On linux the firmware download appeared to
succeed, but I was then unable to download a compiled program to the
RCX. Here is the linux output:-

RCX not responding
The RCX is switched on, is in range of the tower and displays the
battery volatage as 8.6 and then a zero. The LED in the tower glows
green for a few seconds before lejosdl exits.
This error when running lejosdl is very similar to the error I get on
Windows when running the 2.1.0 version of lejosdl. i.e. The current
status of all the lejos versions I have tried is as follows:-
linux2.1.0 - firmware download failure
linux3.0.0 - firmware success / compiled binary download failure
win2.1.0 - firmware success / compiled binary download failure
win3.0.0 - firmware download failure
Therefore I have not managed to run the helloworld program on the RCX
at all yet, which is a bit disappointing.
David
ps The linux version I am using is ubuntu breezy 2.6.12-9-386 and
windows is an uptodate version of winxp.

Hi David, Juergen,
A first preview of the upcoming leJOS 3.0 release (lejos-3.0.0-M1,
which is the current leJOS CVS state) can be found at
http://www.matthias-paul-scholz.homepage.t-online.de/lejos/
There are Linux and Windows version available presently.
Both versions have passed the existing integration tests (which are
not too overwhelming in number, though).
The Linux version has run stable for me on SUSE 9.2, the windows
version is brand new (today!) and will be stress tested in course of
the next days.
Regards,
Matthias

It's been down for 2 weeks, no mention of anonymous cvs
coming back yet. Will try when it comes back or just use the
windows version instead. :-(
I put the CVS version of today from developer CVS at
http://www.jstuber.net/java/lejos_2006-02-01.tar.gz
I only tested that it compiles.
Cheers
