An alternative RCX operating system and firmware cloning brickOS. The kernel was written from scratch for better performance, but to the average brickOS programmer, changes should be transparent. There is a lot of code borrowed from brickOS, and numerous patches originally targeted for brickOS have been conceptually incorporated. While this project is based on bibo, as brickOS still seems to be the more recognizable name, it has been retained as part of the name.

A replacement firmware and VM that can execute Java programs in the Lego Mindstorms RCX. It supports several of the most useful features of the Java language, such as: - Object orientation. - Multi-threading. - Synchronization. - Exceptions. - Type safety (in principle, no hanging/crashing). Like other firmware replacements (e.g. legOS and pbForth), TinyVM breaks the 32-variable limit imposed by Lego's official firmware. Additionally, TinyVM offers: - No need to install a cross-compiler. - Easy to install in general, even under CygWin. - Over 16 Kb of memory for programs and objects. - Firmware deletes itself when you try to download other firmware. - An emulation tool. - Access to buttons, motors and sensors. - Sensor listeners. - Nice APIs like you only find in Java. Starting with 0.2.0: - Capability to rerun programs. - Full persistence of all objects across runs. - Timers and time routines (Time.sleep). - java.util.Random. - Capability to print characters on the LCD. TinyVM is also the progenitor of leJOS (see http://sourceforge.net/projects/lejos).
