Linux used to connect to Boe-Bot Robot Kit - USB Version Java?

Is it possible to use Linux to upload code to the Boe-Bot Robot Kit - USB Version?

Does the stamp use an ATMEL chip?

The available IDE's are Windows and MAC OSX 10.4 Tiger. No Linux.

The Stamp uses a PIC chip.

EDIT: There MAY be a tool for Linux:

Let us know if it works.

Thank you so much! I have some Tiger machines at school.
I notice the Linux code from http://bstamp.sourceforge.net/ uses serial.
I plan on purchasing the the USB kits. So once I get things figured out in Windows I'll try it using Linux,

If you do find a Linux box with an 9 Pin serial port, this would be the device to use:

I have not used the USB kit. I have two RS-232 kits that I use with the Parallax USB Adapter and Windows XP and Windows7.

The connection is the same as a straight UBS port, as far as the program is concerned.

Download PBASIC Editor for Linux part 1 and PBASIC Editor for Linux part 2.
I use this with Ubuntu but its only for the BS2 and that it hasn't been updated in years.
