Cool, I had bought a Launchpad when they came out (2 yrs ago?) and was able to compile the GCC bits for it on my XO-1.5. But had not tried to use my XO-1. You probably have seem the proposed plans to make an XOduino and XOstick. Thanks for writing notes for the XO-1/Launchpad. I think I noted some intermittent issues with the kernal/usb/Launchpad where it would create a /dev/TTYACM01 and then 02 (I dont recall the specifics) and when I tried to access the device via Python, my code was referrring to the wrong device node. And I had to disconnect the usb cable for it to work.
