Re: Gumstix Programming

first of all hi everybody here... first poster am i
Im using the gumstix and i can assure you wont regret getting one, at least just for fun.

For the cross compiler dont bother with windows and stuff... its more a prob than a solution... so.. do a dual partition on that disk and install a fedora or the taste you want, (ubuntu requires more tuning but will do ok and after tuning it will last more and is more easy to use)
Yes there is no or little docs about gumstix... but the documentation itself isnt in the gumstix itself... you need the pinouts etc and some more tips.
You have for robotics... robostix (atmega 128 datasheet, you dont need more)
the gumstix itself is a bundled intel chip (again other datasheet) the rest of the stuff you dont have was already coded by a guy who in other words saved my project... he is Dave Hylands and always open for answering questions and there is a growing numbers of people on this. Forums arent that active, get a gmail account and sign to the newsletter (gmail because its easier to use)
And there is a LOT of code written already (most by Dave) which just rocks in simplicity and ease of use.
Believe me after some familiarization with linux you will go with no probs
hope this helps
cheers
