[IAEP] Sugarized binaries? was Re: users doing python in XOs

Yama: Which model of microcontroller will you use? Which
programmer/connector will you use?

Yes, I think your mspdebug experience might be a 'user' and 'group'
thing on the USB device, but it might be a kernel driver, which
normally needs root access.

If you use Windows on your netbooks one nice way to install the GNU
toolchain to compile C programs is Red Hat's cygwin project:

p.s. Have you seen Physical Etoys? It is free tile scripting for
microcontrollers, though I don't think an XO bundle has been made. Low
ceiling, but interesting.
