Telnet login information can be found in the ReadMe file together with the firmware file. Background: As of the 1.09 release of the official EV3 Firmware Home Edition and Education Edition (1.09H and 1.09E), we have increased the security level to prevent attacks from the Internet, when a Wi-Fi dongle is plugged into the EV3. EV3 Block Developer Kit With this Block Developer Kit you get documentation on how the programming blocks for the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Software are created. This Developer Kit is relevant for you if you want to create your own programming blocks for the EV3 software. This could for example be a programming block for a custom sensor you’ve built yourself. Please note that this developer kit only runs on computers running Windows as its operating system. EV3 Communication Developer Kit With this Communication Developer Kit you get all the information you need on how to communicate with the EV3 Programmable brick.
It contains a description of the protocol used across USB, Bluetooth and WiFi. This Developer Kit is relevant for you if you want to develop software that communicates with the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Programmable brick. If you want to control motors and / or read sensor values on the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Programmable brick, the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Firmware Developer Kit also contains information that you will need for your project.
EV3 Firmware Developer Kit With this Firmware Developer Kit you get the information you need if you want to understand the firmware architecture of the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Programmable brick. This developer kit also contains detailed documentation on the bytecodes supported by the virtual machine in the firmware. This Developer Kit is relevant for you if you want to develop software that can build / compile user programs, which should be able to run on the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Programmable brick. It’s also relevant for you if you intent to create software that communicates with the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Programmable brick using direct commands, where the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Communication Developer Kit also contains information you will need. EV3 Firmware Source Code This file contains the source code for the firmware to the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Programmable brick. The source code is released under the GNU General Public license agreement version 2. It includes all the embedded source used for building the actual firmware image which functions as the operating system on the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3, (Executing on the ARM9 controller).
This is relevant for you if your intention is to create a custom firmware for the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Programmable brick. EV3 Hardware Developer Kit With this Hardware Developer Kit you get documentation on the hardware architecture and interfaces for the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 programmable brick.

However, it was also missing the CDRom. Anyone know where I can get a replacement CD (or, since the set is over 10 years old, where I can download the software that was on the CD)? I tried Bricklink, but couldn't even find the set for sale there. You can find the CDROM on Bricklink.

If the hardware is the same as the Dark Side Development Kit (pretty sure it is) NQC works brilliantly. Actually, the Droid Developer Kit and Dark Side Development Kit contain the Micro Scout which is not really programmable. See for details on how to program it with a VLL.
The CD was a marketing mistake as the only think on it was the same building instructions that are in the manual but presented in quicktime for some reason. There is nothing on the CD about programming. The only thing the CD did was dissuade many people from buying the set thinking they needed a computer to make it.

You can find the CDROM on Bricklink at Thanks for the link! Absolutely correct - do I feel like an idiot?:) As Doug says, the brick can only be programmed in a limited sense using VLL. The way we do it is via a Spybotics robot, programmed using NQC and connected to the Microscout via a light-tube. Not really the answer (unless you have a Spybotics) - sincere apologies for leading you up the garden path.

And thanks to Doug for correcting me. Cheers Tom I didn't think there would be a programming software on the disk - but the box and the instruction manual indicated that there were instructions for additional models on the disk.
