Install MSYS

就如同官網上所講的, MSYS可以讓Windows有基本的Linux Shell的指令.
MSYS is a collection of GNU utilities such as bash, make, gawk and grep to allow building of applications and programs which depend on traditionally UNIX tools to be present. It is intended to supplement MinGW and the deficiencies of the cmd shell.

但由於mingw-get-inst自動安裝程式下載msys的套件安裝還有問題, 所以我改用手動安裝.
官網的安裝說明: http://www.mingw.org/wiki/msys

Add vi keys to eclipse editor

Vrapper is an eclipse plugin which acts as a wrapper for eclipse text editors to provide a Vim-like input scheme for moving around and editing text.
To install Vrapper, add the remote site http://vrapper.sourceforge.net/update-site/stable to your Eclipse Update Manager.

MinGW installation

It seems the MinGw main site is broken currently. (2010 Oct 26)

The automated MinGW Installer (mingw-get, mingw-get-inst) still can't find some of the packages.

I do some googling and find another maintainer of MinGW -- TDM-GCC which has a better installer.

用remserial來建立一個serial port I/O

首先, 需建立一個輸入端:
# nc -l -p 2000 -t
再用remserial 連線到這個port
#  remserial -r localhost -p 2000 -l /dev/remserial /dev/ptmx
如此在netcat下輸入的資料, 都會被導向到/dev/remserial這個pseudo serial port去
