RoboPi thread updated with link to RoboPi product page on my site - which has more details, and two more photos. Link duplicated below, but please use the RoboPi thread for questions
I have no way to test this at the moment, no screen on my Pi or even a Propeller board at this location. So I would be grateful if anyone would give it a try.
This version does not contain a version of the loader that works over the Raspi GPIO UART so a Prop Plug is required.
I will post a modified loader for UART usage shortly.
If anyone wants to build SimplIDE on the Pi for themselves I have posted instructions here http://a.linuxsecured.net
Let us know if there any errors / misdirections.
Be warned the complete build takes 20 hours or so!
It does seem to at least install, run and compile Welcome.c! I just tried it on a Pi that had never seen SimpleIDE before.
I need some feed back here. The only way I have to test at the moment is running X over an ssh session, I have no HDMI screen available. I have no Propeller connected either.
I'm not sure what all that nonsense about a Documents folder is in the installation instructions, INSTALL.txt. No Linux machine I have ever used has had a "Documents" directory and if it did it would be removed as soon as I saw it.
There is a change in SimpleIDE 0.9.46 that may surprise you. Unfortunately, t's not quite finished yet
Most of the feature should work well for USB ports (an exercise for the curious). However at this point some implementation will change by request of Parallax:
Currently unplugging the serial port with the serial terminal running will cause the terminal window to go away. Who needs a serial terminal if no port is connected? LOL. Well, I suppose if the port is intermittent for some odd reason or the data needs to be retained it would be good to keep the terminal window open ... actually the terminal window can be reopened and whatever data was there before will be displayed.
Does RPi have fixed serial ports like /dev/ttyS0 that get used for programming ? If so, you may need to make a symbolic link like /dev/ttyUSB99 to the /dev/ttyS0 port.

I am having some server issues; I'll post the RoboPi pages and start a thread as soon as I can.

Thanks Heater.

It has /dev/ttyAMA0 for the on board UART.
Thanks. I keep forgetting.
I was thinking that we would need to add a symbolic link in linux because of a change, but that is not necessary. Sorry.
