BasicStamp and Raspberry Pi

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to get my BoeBot to work with a Raspberry pi. I downloaded PBasic Linux software by Francis Esmonde-White (linked from the downloads), as well as the PBasic tokenizer shared library.
But it seems like the Tokenizer library is only supported on x86 platforms. Any chance of updating the library to also support ARM? Anyone else tried this and got it to work? Suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

    The Tokenizer library is only supported on x86 platforms. In fact, some of it is written in x86 assembly which precludes any easy conversion to support ARM. Really, the only way to get this running on an ARM is to use some kind of x86 emulator running DOS. There are some Stamp Editor versions that run under DOS (like FreeDOS) and that might be the way to go.

    Thank you Mike.

    I figured it wasn't easily possible, but thank you for explaining.

    The bstamp_run command still works on the Raspberry Pi, so I ended up just writing a quick script that tokenizes the PBasic code on a different computer, and then I can send it to the BoeBot. :)
