Description-en: utility library for talking to the LEGO Mindstorms NXT brick
LibNXT is an utility library for talking to the LEGO Mindstorms NXT intelligent
brick at a relatively low level. It currently does:
* Handling USB communication and locating the NXT in the USB tree.
* Interaction with the Atmel AT91SAM boot assistant.
* Flashing of a firmware image to the NXT.
* Execution of code directly in RAM.
.
The design of LibNXT is layered, meaning you can plug into it at any level of
complexityor abstraction you desire, from the lowest level USB bulk bit-pushing
interface, to an API exposing the SAM-BA commandset, right up to just calling
nxt_firmware_flash() and having everything taken care of!
.
This package provides two binary utils:
* fwflash is the program that uses LibNXT. As its name hints, its purpose is
to take a NXT firmware image file and flash it to a connected NXT device.
* fwexec is another utility, which takes a specially compiled firmware image,
uploads it to the NXT's RAM, and executes it directly from there.
