The software doesn't use any operating system. Everything is implemented from |
| 5 |
scratch. Some of the API's (e.g. timer API) are modelled after the |
| 6 |
corresponding Linux kernel API's. However, this does not imply that any of the |
| 7 |
actual implementation is shared. The reason for matching the Linux API's is |
| 8 |
merely because they are well-understood and there's lots of example code using |
| 9 |
them. |

The SAM7 firmware is compiled using GNU GCC 4.0.2 for ARM. It uses GNU Make for |
| 13 |
processing the Makefiles. All development of the system happened on Linux, |
| 14 |
therefore your milage of compiling it on Windows might vary, but should |
| 15 |
theoretically work. |
