Come on! You registered yourself in this forum - so why are you not able to register at iar? You can fill in everything and set all those company / project related questions to "other". That's it.

Great work :-) I will see what I can do because I have the ui for ric-files - but the function is missing ;-) So I will try to combine our codes tomorrow.

Just one thing - the change in the c_cmd.h-file is related to your split up function - not to the "dirty sound file"-hack.

I have downloaded the workbench and sourcecode of firmware. How do I get started and compile it all?

Start the IAR Workbench and open project LMS_V02.eww in AT91SAM7S256\SAM7S256\Tools\

Have fun!

By reading a buttload of source code, documentation and making a lot of mistakes.

There is no magic trick to knowing this stuff.

Actually, I was not sure where to place the declaration (it is in c_cmd_drawing.c yet), so I left it in the "dirty" commit.

How do I compile the firmware into an .rfw.
Can someone tell me how step by step, starting from opening the LMS_ARM workspace?

Can I edit John's Enhanced firmware and compile it?
I can't debug it because it says I am not connected to the J-Link via USB.
Can someone help?

I think that is referring to the JTAG connector on the NXT PCB. In order to debug, you need to solder on a header, and have it connected to the computer through an interface (not the same as using the USB port on the NXT).

But how do I actually compile it into an rfw?
