Rather than use custom language bindings that use direct access to mmap'ed files, this distribution aims to allow as many programming languages as possible to access the EV3 peripherals using simple Linux file access. If your favorite programming language is available as an ARM port, and it can read and write files, you can use it to program the EV3. - Currently the ev3dev distribution includes the following languages: + Currently the ev3dev distribution includes the following languages:

And although you can directly access the APIs via file I/O if you want to, let's face it: that's hard. It's much easier when you have a higher-level library to use.

    This is still an early beta, so it's not as polished as the official LEGO offering, but it's getting better every week as we add support for more of the native EV3 drivers. Alongside the main kernel, work is also being done on brickdm, which adds a LEGO-like GUI. @@ -86,7 +86,7 @@
