The legOS HOWTO

This is the most comprehensive and wide-ranging of the legOS docs. The best place to start for a newbie. With the newest update, this now covers LNP is depth, including code examples. Many thanks to Mike Ash for providing this new section.

INSTALLATION

We have installation instructions for a growing number of environments. Please select one of the following based on the type of system on which you want to develop for the RCX.

BrickOS Installation for
Windows 9x, NT, 2000 & XP
This document covers the installation of the Cygwin tools and building of brickOS on the Microsoft Windows platform.

Command Reference

Dave Chen has written up an excellent legOS command reference that documents and organizes the resources that the legOS kernel provides to a legOS program. If you have already read the HOWTO, and are just looking.
An updated version of this document is now under construction...

Kernel Documentation

Stig Neilsson has written kernel documentation, detailing exactly how the legOS kernel works. If you want to become a brickOS kernel hacker, this is the place to start. You can also get it as a PDF file here.

Auto-generated API docs

These are Application Programming Interface (API) docs that are automatically generated from brickOS source. We keep these up to date with each new release. You may also see special versions of these documents accompanying test releases. We will also have packaged versions of these documents available for download.
