I am feeling pretty good right now. I just got through setting up the GNU_toolchain and compiled the Chumby kernel on my Ubuntu laptop. Now I just need to try the kernel out with some modifications. I think at this point I need to write down how to perform the modifications and build the software to load to the Chumby so that I won't forget sometime later in the year as I start focusing on the KIPR Open. I still have not tried compiling something so that the Chumby controls the iRobot Create. That will come later. Right now I need to concentrate on what steps need to be done to get the environment setup the way that I want them. I am thinking that I need to find a decent IDE to perform all of the test software builds. I also need to set up a configuration management system so that I can backtrack as necessary. So many things to do before I really start programming. I now have a development environment on the Chumby (for the Chumby), a development environment for the Chumby (on the Ubuntu laptop), and now I need a development environment for the iRobot Create Controller (on the Ubuntu laptop). So far I have not been able to find anyone who has specifically set one up. More digging is needed apparently.
