Hi,
The new firmware release of leJOS NXJ is finally out - see the announcements,
download page and API docs on the web site.
Apologies for the long delay - it proved difficult to make the flash version
work reliably on all NXTs.
The release is a true firmware release - you flash new firmware with nxjflash.
(All the commands now start "nxj" and you now set the environment variable
NXJ_HOME).
This release is a lot different to the last one, so read the README.html file.
There is now a simple menu system, a file system that stores programs and data
in flash memory, and a new set of PC tools, including nxjbrowse - a NXJ file
explorer that works over USB and Bluetooth.
Let us know if the release works for you, either on this list, or in the forums
on the web site. There are still issues with Windows Vista, due to the use of
libusb. Some people might have trouble with Bluetooth as the open source
library, Bluecove, is used, and this only supports the Microsoft, not the
Widcomm Bluetooth stack.
This release should work well from Eclipse and other IDEs. All the samples have
ant build files that have been tested free-standing, and from Eclipse. If you
don't want to use the ant build files, you can set up two external tools in
Eclipse: nxjc to compile your program, and nxj to link, upload and run it.
This release is currently for Windows and Linux. We hope to have a MAC OS X
release out soon.
NXT to NXT Bluetooth comms did not make it into the release. We hope to have a
new release out in a few weeks with improvement communications - including NXT
to NXT comms, and a PC-based comms proxy for communication with the outside
world.
Lawrie
