Hello folks!

I have an Arduino Uno that, as far as I can tell, works fine; it's run a
few sample sketches from the Arduino IDE, although I've not tested it
hard enough to entirely rule out a chip failure.

Anyway, from a freshly downloaded and extracted amforth 4.8 zip file, I
have run the following commands:

avrdude -c usbtiny -p atmega328p -U efuse:w:0x5:m

avrdude -c usbtiny -p atmega328p -U hfuse:w:0xd9:m

avrdude -c usbtiny -p atmega328p -U lfuse:w:0xff:m

avrdude -c usbtiny -p atmega328p -U
flash:w:amforth-4.8/appl/arduino/duemilanove.hex

avrdude -c usbtiny -p atmega328p -U
eeprom:w:amforth-4.8/appl/arduino/duemilanove.eep.hex

These have all programmed and verified, although the eeprom write has
the following worrying message:


-------------------------------B<-------------------------------

avrdude done.  Thank you.
-------------------------------B<-------------------------------

What's with the "avrdude: error: usbtiny_send: Connection timed out
(expected 82, got -110)" that then seems to work fine the second time?
It verifies OK in the end, however...

So, I run up a minicom on the USB serial port at 9600 baud and when I
press reset on the arduino board I see:

amforth 4.8 ATmega328P Forthduino
 >

If I press enter I get ok prompts:

 >
  ok
 >
  ok
 >
  ok
 >
  ok
 >
  ok
 >
  ok
 >

All working, right? So I try my standard FORTH test:

 > 1 1 + .

...and it hangs. No result comes back and the serial link stops echoing.

Press reset and I get the prompt again. COLD works:

amforth 4.8 ATmega328P Forthduino
 > cold
amforth 4.8 ATmega328P Forthduino
 >

If I try "words" I get a mixture of valid-looking output and garbage
characters, then a hang.

Let's try defining a word:

 > : hi ." Hello world " cr ;
: ??

...and the system is again hanging, with no serial echo.

Have I done something wrong? Should I try and rebuild duemilanove.hex
and the eeprom file from scratch? Does anybody have any idea what the
problem could be?

Thanks,

ABS
