I got an IOIO from spark fun a few weeks ago and have been fighting to get the tool chain brought up on a linux host.

its a PIC24 device that puts up a USB host running ADB (android debug bridge host) fake SW that provides a sort of communications port to the PIC from the Android device. enabling simple robotics applications along the same lines as my old robo Magellan robot I did years ago with a NSLU2 and a Mark-III controller on a RC car http://www.thegnar.org/magellan/magellan.html Only this time using a Nexus one running Cyanogen Mod instead of the NSLU2 and a IOIO instead of the Mark-III controller.
I've got some bloggings about it here: http://thegnar.org/sync/?p=141
The sort story is it seems to work and I feel happy I can build all the code from source (because that's how I roll)
My next trick is to add Ward's Txtzyne interpreter to the IOIO FW.
