Description-en: Improved firmware for LEGO Mindstorms NXT bricks
The NXT Improved Firmware is a community-based open source project
around the original LEGO Mindstorms firmware for the NXT
bricks.
.
The firmware can be installed on the robot control bricks of type NXT.
It is almost identical to the original firmware, meaning that
all existing software working with the original firmware can be expected
to work with the improved firmware as well.
.
The main differences between the original firmware and the improved
firmware are the addition of absolute position regulation for motors and
that it can be built with GCC rather than the non-free toolchain used by
the LEGO Group.
.
This package contains the firmware image file, which can be flashed onto
the brick with various tools, e.g. fwflash from the libnxt package.
