RoboSkiff API Software Releases Please see the History and Known Bugs page for version history. Announcements A new version of the kernel, version 1.01, has been released. This kernel release includes botkit 1.01 and java6.270 1.04 and thus supercedes all previous java6270 patches. Please see the version history page for details on changes in this release. You need to upload the netbsd kernel to your board and unjar the classes6270.jar file. The latest versions of those files are at: /mit/6.270/dist/netbsd and /mit/6.270/dist/classes6270.jar Note that we are now providing the kernel uncompressed to save on boot time. We are also providing the compressed version as netbsd.gz as before, and all older versions will be available as compressed only. Use load kernel instead of load usercode to load the new kernel. The uncompressed kernel will take about 15 minutes to upload (about 22000 packets) and the compressed kernel will take about 5 minutes to update (about 7100 packets). However, the uncompressed kernel boots faster, which will save you time during calibration. Unjar the classes6270.jar file in your team directory. More detailed instructions are on the Software page. Again, you will not need any previous java6270 patches. Caution: If you have modified the java6270 source files in-place as we advised you not to, this will negate your changes. Please put all modified code in your own package before installing this patch. Getting the files This page contains information on API software releases. The most recent versions of the API, sample code, and the kernel can be found at the following locations: On Athena Be sure to attach 6.270 on Athena or attach -p 6.270 on the HPUXs first. The API: /mit/6.270/dist/classes6270.jar To use this, simply go to your Teams/nn/ directory and enter: athena% jar -xvf /mit/6.270/dist/classes6270.jar Sample code: /mit/6.270/dist/samplecode/ The uncompressed kernel: /mit/6.270/dist/netbsd The compressed kernel: /mit/6.270/dist/netbsd.gz On the web If you're not working at Athena, the files are also available at these web links: The uncompressed kernel file and The compressed kernel file The API jar file Sample code directory (You'll need to "Save link as..." for the files.)
