LEGO NTX Firmware Open Sourced

12:05 in Hardware, News, Robotics, Software by fini

LEGO has released their latest robotics firmware for MINDSTORMS NXT as Open Source under their own License (I haven’t look long at it, but it is most likely derived from an existing common license).

You can now start developing your own LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT firmware version. By acception the “LEGO Open Source License Agreement” below, you will be able to look over the shoulders of our firmware developers. This will enable you to change the functionality from the very lowest hardware abstration level to the user ineration level within the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT. The Open Source files include all the source files needed for the ARM7 ATMEL microcontroller and the 8-bit AVR ATMEL microcontroller.
