Checking if I could compile the mountain for the AR.Drone 2.0. mountain.c compiles fine, clock.c is missing unistd.h. Sleep is used in "VP_Os/vp_os_delay.h".
Found a nice solution for misissing sys/times.h from windows version of the MADP toolbox.
Mountain now compiles and links, but not sure if I have a cross-compilation, and the mountain.exe only returns zeros.
Found a programmer which ported Nasa Flight Executive to the AR.Drone.
At Parrot DevZOne, the source-code for AR.Drone v2.2.9 seems to be available. Also the code for the mini-drones is available there.
Made connection with telnet 192.168.1.1to drone, which gives the BusyBox built-in shell (ash):
Made also connection with Putty (with telnet protocol). Looked at programs in /usr/bin, . Found ftpget and ftpput. Should look for crosscompilation towards armv71 target:
Looks like I have to build a toolchain as indicated Lochraster wiki.
Busybox doesnot support elf executables, so better could build from BusyBox. For instance, the ssh server looks interesting.

Continued with C:\svn\ARdroneMap\cpp\ardrone_slam, which I was working on April 5, 2013.

Jurgen will start with a flying robot course on Edx. Course will end in July, if I look at last year course.
