Re: On Linux, linxt will upload any file except a .rxe [SOLVED]

John,

Thanks for the opportunity. However, I have so far done nothing with my NXT other than run the included demo. Perhaps in a while when I find my feet, and start doing something more ambitious.

Re: On Linux, linxt will upload any file *except* a .rxe

Harrumble! I'm in business! Thanks for the tip, Steve. In linxt, changing the command for upload from Open Write Data (0x8B) to Open Write (0x81) does the trick. I must have screwed up before - probably not closing the file properly so it was present but not visible. Just for information, I download...

Re: On Linux, linxt will upload any file *except* a .rxe

Steve, thanks for the reply. I have already hacked linxt to try both "normal" write commands (0x81 and 0x8B) - and both fail at the "open" stage. One with "file exists" and one with "illegal filename". But I haven't tried the linear write command. What really ...

...and I have reset the brick, by the way, and I have also unplugged all other connections except the USB, just in case.

Re: On Linux, linxt will upload any file *except* a .rxe

More information - I have now installed the "t2n" utility and it is exhibiting exactly the same behaviour. This suggests to me that there's something odd about the brick itself. The USB library doesn't think about the information it is transferring, so it's extremely unlikely to be that, a...

On Linux, linxt will upload any file except a .rxe [SOLVED]

Hi folks. I'm a Linux user (Kubuntu 10.04 LTS) who has just got a NXT (firmware v1.28) and I'm trying to get going. I have got as far as compiling a simple sample program using nbc, and I am using linxt to communicate with the brick. Connection establishes successfully, and I have verified that I ca...
