No Brutus is completely written from the scratch. It has nothing to do with
Nimzo, neither on hardware (Brutus uses some special chip called FPGA), nor
software. It is only made by the same programmer, who probably uses his
experiences while programming Nimzo for programming Brutus. But the code is
completely different because of the different hardware.

There is a nice interview with Chrilly Dollinger, but only in German:
